Care management is a vital nursing specialty. “Our objectives are always to assess patients immediately when they come into the door, and then try to align what their discharge might look like,” says Mark Torok, MBA, BSN, RN, CCMC, Senior Nursing Director for Care Management at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. In the latest episode of Nurse Essentials, Torok discusses the role of care managers, key components of a discharge plan, the importance of evaluating a patient’s support system and home environment, and more.
