In collaboration with the physician, hospital care teams and family/significant others, the TCC will assess, evaluate, and implement a plan of care for the patient. The TCC works collaboratively with the Transitional Care Program Leadership team, Transitional Care Social Worker, Case Management staff and other members of the multidisciplinary team to develop a Continuum of Care plan to assure patients have the resources and instructions to carry out the plan safely.

The TCC will need to utilize clinical judgment to triage patients, deciding if the patient requires immediate in-person care in the urgent care or emergency room, if they can be managed remotely, or can be directed to other appropriate healthcare providers.

5. Serves as a resource and educator to the patient and her/his family for a minimum of 30 days post discharge or specified time frame depending on the program/diagnosis.

9. Evaluates aspects of each patient’s condition, diagnoses, medications, and support systems to formulate an individualized plan which will lead to successful outcomes in medication-self management, use of a dynamic patient-centered record, appropriate primary care and specialist follow-up, and knowledge of red flags.

10. Serves as a guide to the patient, coaching the patient in addressing critical issues and self-management tasks rather than directly taking over and providing care.

11. Accurately documents all patient and family interactions, assessments, interventions and care plans in appropriate electronic healthcare record.
