• Strong understanding of chronic disease management, care coordination, care transitions, post‑acute care options, and community‑based care standards.
• Ability to apply evidence‑based clinical practices and guidelines to assessments, care plans, and patient interventions.
• Demonstrated motivational interviewing skills and the ability to engage patients in their care, encourage participation, and support behavior change.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to coordinate effectively with patients, families, providers, and multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong organizational and time‑management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain accurate documentation.
