As a Care Coordinator for the Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU), you'll collaborate with CSU staff and Primary Clinicians to develop individualized discharge plans for individuals who have experienced an acute crisis and may have high level of care needs. You'll provide back-up to the Hospital Liaison for Adults with Mental Illness and/or a Developmental Disability, completing length of stay reviews and coordinating individual discharge plans.

In addition, you will monitor and analyze client data and outcomes to identify patterns, health risks, and utilize this data to develop a comprehensive plan of care for individuals served.
