Integrated Care Management Program - Care Management for Adult and Pediatric High Risk Patients

The Integrated Care Management Program is a care manager collaborative created to ensure a smooth, well-informed transition of patient care across various settings. When an ICMP patient enters the emergency department, he or she is flagged in the computer system at Emerson Hospital so that the care manager is notified. Once notified, the CM then informs the patient's primary care physician of the hospital visit. Post-discharge, the CM schedules follow-up appointments with primary care physicians and specialists within seven days to provide a smooth transition from inpatient to outpatient.
