Contracted Services and Professional Management Responsibility

In short

• Our own staff provide nursing, social work, counseling, dietary counseling and bereavement services.
• Contracted services must be authorized by our team in the plan of care.
• We stay responsible for planning and coordinating all care, even when a contractor provides it.
• Never place a patient for inpatient care in a facility that is under a moratorium or has a conditional or revoked license. Check the facility list first.
• Tell your supervisor about any problem with a contractor’s care.
