What will you do?
Under the general direction of the Manager, Patient Services, the Care Coordinator is responsible for managing a caseload of diverse patients who are living and/or dealing with a variety of health concerns. The Care Coordinator, through in person visits, assesses the patient's care needs and develops, implements, and updates (as required) a care plan that is informed by the patient's health and psychosocial needs; and, where possible, accommodates patient and caregiver wishes. He/she also determines eligibility for and arranges for Ontario Health atHome Champlain-approved health care services and refers patients and caregivers to other community resources and programs.
