Case Management, Coordination of Services, Case Conferences, and Reports to the Practitioner

Names the case manager for each type of case (a registered nurse for nursing cases, a licensed therapist for therapy-only or therapy-and-aide cases, a licensed dietitian or nutritionist for dietetics-only cases, each a direct employee or contractor), sets the case manager's duties under the Florida definition of case management, and sets how the Agency coordinates all disciplines and contracted staff, holds and records case conferences, and reports to the physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse when the patient's condition changes or care deviates from the plan of care. If the Agency is Medicare-certified, it adds the federal coordination of care standard.
