Job Description

This is a teleworking position, with the expectation that you will be visiting clients regularly in the Howard County area.

Who We Are

The Coordinating Center has 40 years of experience supporting children, youth, adults and seniors with complex medical needs and disabilities statewide. Deeply committed to a person-centered approach and philosophy, The Coordinating Center helps individuals of all ages and abilities achieve optimal quality health, affordable healthcare and meaningful community life.

Over the past four decades, we have become an industry expert in the delivery of person-centered, community-based care coordination services and population health. With a rich history of innovation, The Center has translated national movements into ground-level, community-based programs including Medicaid rebalancing initiatives, aging in place, transitions of care, population health, and housing first. We are advocates for policy and system changes that positively affect the lives of people with the most complex needs.

Who You Are

We are looking for people who have a passion for helping others in your community, and who align with our mission, vision, and values as a nonprofit organization. If you are a registered nurse (RN) or licensed social worker (LMSW, LCSW-C) and have experience in case management/care coordination, home health, school nursing, or pediatrics, this might be the organization for you! We look for collaborative and creative minds, self-managing organizational skills, and the desire to challenge and grow professionally.

What You Will Do

Our Case Managers are called Clinical Care Coordinators. As a Clinical Care Coordinator, you will provide day-to-day care management and coordination services within the REM Program (Rare and Expensive Case Management). Your clients will be recipients of Medicaid, most of whom are under age 21, and have complex medical needs. Partnering with their family/caregivers, you will work directly with clients on creating an individualized plan of care with goals to help them remain independent in the community setting of their choice. This position is a hybrid of teleworking and client visits in the community setting including client homes, facility settings, school/day programs, and hospitals.

As a Clinical Care Coordinator, you will:

Facilitate the development of individualized client Care Management Plans, ensuring the inclusion of client/caregiver input.
Locate, coordinate, and navigate medical services and other home and community-based services for medically complex children and adults with disabilities and comorbid conditions inclusive of individuals experiencing financial, housing and resource instability.
Research and recommend cost effective alternatives to care, as appropriate.
Engage the case management process and best practices to guide client service delivery to include assessments, documentation, planning, implementation, education, advocacy, and evaluation.
Evaluate actual outcomes, as well as desired outcomes and adjust Care Management Plan interventions accordingly to maximize health and goal achievement potential.
Facilitate communication between community-based providers, insurance carriers, the multidisciplinary team and supports required by the client.
Coordinate quarterly on-site visitations as well as convening and attending multidisciplinary team meetings, and maintaining periodic, regular contact with clients and other members of the health care team.
Complete timely documentation of care management activities in multiple electronic databases, maintaining confidentiality of PHI in all settings.
