The Child and Adolescent Clinical Resource Nurse and Outpatient Case Manager serves four primary functions on the Child and Adolescent Program (CAP) Campus: ·

• · Coordination of outpatient appropriateness for admission through initial screening, assessment and patient intake, throughput, and transitions from referral to discharge as well as ensures the application of evidence-based nursing care for all aspects of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOS) per the regulatory requirement of Wisconsin Chapter 40.
• Facilitation of continuity of care for CAP outpatients. This includes facilitation of transition from inpatient to outpatient status and facilitation of ongoing outpatient services with third-party providers; provides appropriate outpatient nursing care, and acts as the conduit between primary care and outpatient/community based health care and mental health providers while the patient is a participant in the IOS program.
• ·Assists with utilization management to ensure optimal clinical and financial outcomes of the outpatient program. This includes working with third party payers to justify initial and ongoing care through documentation and outcome data.

This position reports to the Manager of Outpatient and Ancillary Services but works closely with the Inpatient RN Manager to ensure clinical education development and training meets the needs of all staff on campus.

The two Clinical Resource Nurse and Outpatient Case Coordinator positions are designed to work complimentary shifts in order to cover the full hours of operation for the IOS program and for some availability in the evenings and early mornings for education opportunities for off-shifts.
