    This Is More Than a Care Coordination Role

    In rural healthcare, helping a patient safely move through the healthcare system often requires creativity, persistence, and strong community relationships.

    Case management, social work, and care coordination professionals help connect patients and families with the clinical care, resources, education, and support they need. They may address barriers involving transportation, housing, insurance, behavioral health, long-term care, family support, or access to specialty services far from home.

    The strongest professionals understand that a discharge plan is more than paperwork. It is a bridge between the hospital, the patient's home, local providers, community resources, and the next stage of care.

    This application may connect you with current or upcoming roles such as:

    Director or Manager of Case Management
    Case Management Supervisor

    Community Health Program Manager
    Complex Care Manager
    Patient Navigation Leadership
    Senior case management, social work, or care coordination roles

    What You May Lead or Support

    Developing discharge and follow-up care plans
    Assessing clinical, social, financial, and community needs

    Collaborating with physicians, nurses, therapists, behavioral health professionals, and community partners
    Supporting utilization review, medical necessity, and level-of-care processes
    Communicating with payers and supporting authorization or denial-management processes
    Reducing avoidable readmissions and delays in care
    Supporting patients with complex medical or social needs
    Coordinating referrals to home health, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, hospice, behavioral health, or specialty care
    Helping patients navigate insurance, transportation, housing, medication, and other barriers
    Developing policies, procedures, workflows, and documentation standards
    Monitoring quality, outcomes, length of stay, and departmental performance
    Leading, mentoring, and supporting case management or social work teams
    Building stronger connections between the healthcare organization and the community

    What You Will Bring

    Qualifications will vary by opportunity, but organizations may seek:

    Experience in case management, medical social work, utilization review, discharge planning, care coordination, or population health
    Previous leadership experience for director, manager, or supervisory opportunities
    Knowledge of healthcare delivery, payer requirements, medical necessity, and patient transitions
    Experience working with patients and families facing complex clinical or social needs
    Strong communication, assessment, advocacy, and problem-solving skills
    The ability to collaborate across clinical, operational, and community teams
    Experience with rural hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, FQHCs, public hospital districts, long-term care, or community healthcare organizations
    Relevant education, licensure, or certification based on the position
    A compassionate, resourceful, and relationship-focused approach

    Some opportunities may require or prefer credentials such as RN, LMSW, LCSW, ACM, CCM, or another case management, nursing, or social work credential. Requirements will depend on the specific position.

    Why Rural Oregon?

    Oregon's rural healthcare organizations serve communities surrounded by forests, mountains, high desert, farmland, rivers, coastal areas, and long stretches of open road. Distance, limited transportation, workforce shortages, and fewer local services can make care transitions especially challenging.

    Working in case management, social work, or care coordination in a rural setting offers the opportunity to help patients overcome real barriers, strengthen community connections, and make care feel more coordinated and humane.
