Working in close partnership with case managers, social workers, physicians, nurses, and the inpatient care team, the Access Coordinator engages directly with patients and families to facilitate patient throughput, discharge planning, transfers to higher or lower levels of care, and repatriation to home facilities. The Access Coordinator ensures continuity of care by coordinating information exchange, follow-up appointments, and bedside support such as delivery of durable medical equipment, while maintaining strong relationships with external agencies, payers, and community providers.
