Full Job Description
About The Role

The moments immediately before and after a hospitalization are some of the most important moments in a patient's care.

As our Acute Care & Transitions Manager, you'll own the day-to-day coordination of patients moving through acute care settings, from hospital and emergency department admission through SNF stays and successful transition back into the community.

You'll monitor acute care utilization, build strong relationships with hospital and SNF partners, coordinate discharge plans, and ensure patients are connected back to their Greenbrook care team quickly and safely.

This is a highly proactive, time-sensitive role. You'll be the person making sure that when a Greenbrook patient enters the hospital, we know about it, understand what is happening, communicate with the care team, and have a plan for what happens next.

You'll also serve as a clinical resource for urgent patient needs and help Greenbrook prevent unnecessary ED utilization by ensuring patients have appropriate access to care when they need it.

You'll work closely with Greenbrook physicians, Complex Case Managers, center managers, medical assistants, hospitalists, inpatient care managers, skilled nursing facilities, and specialists.

You'll report to our VP, Market Medical Director and work alongside our broader care management team.

Location: Greater Tampa Bay Area (travel between clinics, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities required)

What You'll Do

Own Acute Care & Hospital Transitions
  • Monitor hospital and emergency department admissions daily and proactively identify Greenbrook patients requiring intervention.
  • Establish timely communication with hospitalists, inpatient care managers, and other members of the acute care team.
  • Understand the reason for admission, clinical status, anticipated discharge needs, and barriers to a safe transition.
  • Coordinate discharge planning and ensure appropriate follow-up is scheduled with the Greenbrook care team.
  • Complete or coordinate timely post-discharge outreach and medication reconciliation.
  • Ensure critical discharge information, medications, follow-up needs, and care plans are communicated to the appropriate Greenbrook team members.
  • Identify patients requiring additional support and transition them to the Complex Case Manager or other appropriate resources.

Coordinate SNF Transitions
  • Monitor Greenbrook patients admitted to skilled nursing facilities.
  • Establish relationships with SNF clinical teams and maintain visibility into patient progress.
  • Track anticipated discharge dates and proactively address barriers that may unnecessarily extend SNF stays.
  • Coordinate the patient's transition from SNF back to the Greenbrook clinic and community.
  • Ensure follow-up appointments, medication reconciliation, and other post-discharge needs are completed promptly.
  • Escalate complex or high-risk patients to the Complex Case Manager for ongoing longitudinal management.

Prevent Avoidable Emergency Department Utilization

  • Evaluate incoming patient concerns and guide patients toward the most appropriate level of care.
  • Support same-day access and Greenbrook's ER diversion protocols.
  • Coordinate with clinic teams and physicians to identify alternatives to unnecessary ED utilization.

Represent Greenbrook as a proactive and collaborative clinical partner.

  • Help develop and improve Greenbrook's systems and workflows for managing acute care events and transitions.

Drive Accountability for Transitions
  • Track patients through the acute care journey from admission through return to the community.
  • Maintain visibility into outstanding discharge and follow-up needs.
  • Use data to identify trends in hospitalizations, ED utilization, readmissions, and SNF utilization.
  • Identify breakdowns in transition workflows and recommend improvements.
  • Ensure no critical post-discharge action falls through the cracks.
