Director Case Management

Rio Rancho, NM
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    At UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center (SRMC), you benefit from the personal attention of a community hospital and the expertise and resources of an academic health care facility. That's because UNM SRMC's unique open medical staff model allows service from both University of New Mexico faculty physicians and community-based, independent doctors.

    Position Title: Director Case Management

    This is an opportunity for those who truly want to make a difference and have an impact on an organization and surrounding communities. Someone excited to work in a family atmosphere in a well respected community hospital that also has the resources of a larger Academic system.

    The Role you will play as the Director of Case Management

    As the Director of Case Management you would have the ability to create/design this program from scratch, to truly make it your own, to leave your personal stamp on the organization for years to come!

     

    Working closely with Crystal Frantz, Executive Director of Care Management, and as part of the leadership team you will have your finger on the pulse of the organization you will be supported to design and implement relevant programs.

    A successful candidate will have acute care CM experience, as a supervisor or team lead, manager, or director. SRMC is a smaller facility and a great community, very safe, has the newest stores and is close to Alb. It is about 30 – 40 into Santa Fe, good team, low turnover and has only a couple of travelers.

    This is an opportunity to be part of a closely knit leadership team who enjoys having fun together but also has a good culture of accountability.

    The CM team is creative and seasoned, strong UR/CM practiced and are high level, well trained folks. They like some flexibility from their leadership and are described as pretty self-sufficient.

    They have around 7 Case managers, 5 Utilization Review, 2 CM assistants, there is no supervisor between you and them at this time, however as you and the organization continue to grow the department it would be a logical layer to introduce.

    Crystal expects someone to have come from acute care setting with management experience. Somebody who would align themselves with their values and be a great communicator. They have roughly 60 beds, Center of Excellence, and sometimes it’s a roll up sleaves if you have call outs and get on the floor doing the work. They are a level 3 trauma.
