- Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Partnering fluidly with physicians, nurses, and program directors during treatment team meetings to analyze data from standard diagnostic instruments and modify clinical approaches accordingly.
- Discharge Navigation & Continuity: Designing and implementing discharge plans, facilitating hospital-to-hospital transfers, and collaborating with external community social service agencies to ensure a seamless post-acute transition.
