Refer to appropriate services : housing programs, peer support services, job training, phone access, and Behavioral Health Organization (BHO) resources. Coordinate transportation logistics, including payer-sponsored services or facility-based support. Accurately document all CTN activities, clinical interactions, and coordination efforts per guidelines and protocols. Share relevant updates with HCPs, discharge coordinators, outpatient teams, and community-based clinics to support shared decision-making and care planning. Track all outreach attempts, interactions, referrals, and outcomes in the designated internal care coordination platform in accordance with SOPs and guidelines. Associate or bachelor’s degree in human social services, social work, behavioral health, nursing, public health, pharmacy, or a related field required.
