Job Overview
The Director of Case Management (DCM) for Visiting Nurse Health System’s (VNHS) Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP) ensures high-quality, member-centered care coordination for older adults and individuals with disabilities who have medical and social needs. Serving as a liaison to the Executive Director of Operations (EDO), the DCM is a key member of the leadership team, aligning case management operations with organizational goals and promoting equitable access to care. The DCM leads a large team, including the Sr. Manager of Case Management, Team Leads, and clinical and non‑clinical staff across multiple locations.
The DCM develops and implements case management models to promote service access, improve health and social outcomes, and ensure compliance with regulatory, contractual, and funding requirements. The DCM oversees multidisciplinary teams, sets performance standards, and builds partnerships with healthcare providers, social service agencies, government entities, and community organizations.
WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE
This position rewards someone who thinks in systems, not just tasks — building the case management models, performance standards, and policies that then govern outcomes across a large, multi‑location team, rather than personally managing each person in it. The direct reporting line stays small and deliberate — the Sr. Manager of Case Management and the Team Leads — which suits someone who leads best through the structures they design and the small circle of people they trust to execute them.
The right person communicates in a direct, factual way and is comfortable being the one who delivers a hard truth in writing rather than softening it in conversation. Strategic calls in this role — a new service line, a partnership with a community organization, a corrective action plan submitted to the EDO — get made only once fully thought through, and this person will hold that line even under time pressure rather than rush to a decision that hasn't been reasoned all the way out.
What sustains this person's engagement is a genuine goal worth chasing — expanding service access, closing a compliance gap, building a partnership that didn't exist before — followed by real recognition tied to the outcome, not a ceremonial thank‑you. A structured but fast-moving environment, where the work keeps evolving and there's always a next problem to solve, will hold their interest far longer than a steady, unchanging routine.
