*Position Summary
*

The Nurse Case Manager will administer medical case management services to clients enrolled in the Supportive Housing Program in Lane, Douglas, and Josephine counties. The Supportive Housing program provides intensive wrap-around supports to individuals facing significant barriers to obtaining and maintaining stable housing, often with a history of behavioral health and/or substance use barriers. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working with these populations. The Nurse Case Manager will often travel to deliver medical case management in the home in order to further reduce clients’ barriers to accessing care. The Nurse Case Manager will promote viral suppression and increased overall wellness and stability for Supportive Housing clients.

The Nurse Case Manager will work in close partnership with HIV medical providers in the community. This position will communicate with providers regarding the client’s case management care plan and the medical treatment plan. In addition, HIV medical case managers administer services that many HIV doctors have limited time to provide: treatment management and medication adherence counseling, HIV disease and side effects management, nutritional therapy, oral health interventions and referral, liver health and hepatitis disease management (acute and chronic), HIV risk reduction, STI screening and sexual health education.

Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) defines medical case management as:
“Medical case management services (including treatment adherence) are a range of client-centered services that link clients with health care, psychosocial, and other services. The coordination and follow-up of medical treatments is a component of medical case management. These services ensure timely and coordinated access to medically appropriate levels of health and support services and continuity of care, through ongoing assessment of the client’s and other key family members’ needs and personal support systems. Medical case management includes the provision of treatment adherence counseling to ensure readiness for, and adherence to, complex HIV/AIDS treatments.
Key activities include (1) initial assessment of service needs; (2) development of a comprehensive, individualized service plan; (3) provision of services required to implement the plan; (4) monitoring to assess the efficacy of the plan; and (5) periodic re-evaluation and adaptation of the plan as necessary over the life of the client. It includes client-specific advocacy and/or review of utilization of services. This includes all types of case management including face-to-face, phone contact, and any other form of communication.”
