Southern NH Medical Centers strives to keep patients on a continuous track to discharge and receive the continuity of care that our patients and their families need. Our Patient and Family Services Department is the driving force to assure communication, respect, and safety follows our patients throughout the admission phase, all the way through the discharge process. This department includes a dedicated team of Case Managers, Social Workers, and Interpreters that ensure that all care is equal, and our patient's dignity is maintained above all else.
The Acute Care Case Manager evaluates the patient’s health status and the patient/family/significant other’s care capabilities to facilitate the discharge planning process. The case manager develops a multidisciplinary, culturally appropriate, age-specific discharge plan. They also complete clinical reviews utilizing Internal criteria for the appropriate level of care and insurance coverage.
