The creation of the HHC System Support Office recognizes the work of a large and growing group of employees whose responsibilities are continually evolving so that we and our departments now work on behalf of the system as a whole, rather than a single member organization.
With the creation of our new umbrella organization we now have our own identity with a unique payroll, benefits, performance management system, service recognition programs and other common practices across the system.
Integrated Care Partners (ICP) is a physician-led, clinically integrated health care network whose mission is to assist our members in providing the highest quality care at the most reasonable cost for our patients in the current, rapidly changing medical environment.

Escalate cases to designated Physician Advisor resource when assigned level of care is not appropriate and Emergency Department or Admitting Provider is unwilling to consider recommendations for alternative.
Maintain knowledge of industry standards and regulatory requirements which influence patient class and level of care determinations.
Provide education sessions to constituency groups as needs are identified and/or as requested.
Support needs of the department in the event of a critical demand or a decrease in volumes by performing a review of work ques, crafting appeal responses, etc.
Ensure any information critical to the care and progression of the patient gleaned during the review process is relayed to the Care Manager responsible for the patient.
Complete assignments to demonstrate expert knowledge of criteria as requested.
Other duties as assigned.
