Case Manager RN

Job Overview

This Case Manager RN position is about guiding patients through their healthcare journey. You'll coordinate care plans, connect resources, and advocate for patients to ensure they get the right follow up after a hospital stay or during ongoing treatment. The role is based in Lexington, KY, working within the local healthcare network.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive assessments to identify patient needs and barriers to care.
• Develop, implement, and regularly update individualized care plans with patients and their families.
• Coordinate post discharge services, which often means arranging home health, medical equipment, or specialist appointments.
• Serve as the main point of contact between patients, physicians, insurers, and community agencies.
• Document every interaction and decision meticulously in the electronic health record; it's the backbone of the job.
• Educate patients on managing their conditions and navigating the healthcare system effectively.

Requirements

• A current, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license valid in Lexington, KY is mandatory.
• A minimum of two years of recent clinical nursing experience; case management or discharge planning background is a major plus.
• CCM or ACM certification is preferred but not required to start.
• The ability to juggle multiple complex cases daily without dropping details. It's a mentally demanding role that requires sharp critical thinking.
• You need a reliable car and a valid driver's license for potential local travel around Lexington, KY for patient visits or meetings.

What It's Like In This Role

You're largely autonomous but part of a broader interdisciplinary team. Most days are split between phone coordination, EHR documentation, and possibly visiting patients. You'll use standard platforms like Epic or Cerner for records. The workload is steady; you manage your own caseload but can expect it to be full. It's rewarding when you solve a tough case, but it requires resilience when systems are slow to respond.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity

The schedule often has more flexibility than bedside nursing. There's real variety in the cases you handle and the employers you could work for through JobXi. You'll deepen your knowledge of insurance protocols and community resources constantly; it’s continuous learning that makes you a better advocate.

Schedule & Work Type

This is typically a full time position. Most openings are onsite or hybrid in Lexington, KY, with standard weekday business hours common. Some roles may offer partial remote work after an initial training period.
