Clinical Care Coordinator

Los Angeles, CA (Hybrid)

The Clinical Care Coordinator – LTAC Transitions facilitates safe, timely, and well-coordinated transitions of patients from Long-Term Acute Care (LTAC) settings to lower—but medically appropriate—levels of care, including skilled nursing facilities, subacute units, or home and community-based programs.

Working within a hybrid model, the Coordinator spends designated days on-site at partner LTACs to participate in care rounds, engage with discharge planners, and coordinate directly with facility teams, while performing administrative and follow-up tasks remotely on non-onsite days.

This position serves as the operational bridge between LTAC staff, Presidium providers, external facilities, and community partners—ensuring continuity, compliance, and strong communication across all transitions of care.

Remote (Administrative & Follow-Up) Responsibilities

• Complete discharge documentation, coordination notes, and communication logs in the EHR or designated coordination platform.
• Arrange logistics including transportation, DME, pharmacy coordination, home health orders, and post-discharge appointments.
• Communicate with SNFs, home health agencies, and community partners to ensure readiness to receive the patient.
• Confirm successful transfers and monitor members for 30-day readmission or escalation risk.
• Conduct post-transition outreach calls to verify continuity and patient satisfaction.
• Coordinate with internal ECM and Community Supports teams for warm handoffs into ongoing wraparound programs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with Presidium providers and interdisciplinary teams to align discharge plans with the patient’s clinical needs and social circumstances.
• Communicate proactively with health plans or managed care organizations to confirm authorizations or clarify next-level placement requirements.
