About this role
At Ascension's Mequon location, this role oversees a team of case managers and clerical staff responsible for managing patient transitions, disease management, and coordination between hospital administration and medical staff. You'll handle daily scheduling and workload distribution, serve as the go-to expert on utilization criteria and documentation standards, and step in directly on complex cases as needed. The position bridges clinical operations and strategic planning, requiring you to communicate discharge planning decisions and length-of-stay appropriateness across departments.
You'll need an active Wisconsin license as a registered nurse or social worker, or ACMA/CCMC case management certification. Beyond the required three years of experience, at least one year in a leadership or management role is essential.
