Registered Nurse Care Managers (RNs) are pivotal in coordinating care and services for patients identified as needing assistance or meeting Care Management criteria.

The Registered Nurse Care Manager will support the multidisciplinary care team as is necessary for patient management. Abilities that are valued in this role are motivational interviewing and strong communication skills in a team setting. Several tasks differentiate the RN Care Manager from the Care Manager Social Worker; these include but are not limited to hands-on patient care.
