My work as a Case Management Nurse consistently focuses on optimizing patient outcomes and resource utilization, evidenced by a 17% reduction in 30-day readmission rates for a complex cohort of stroke and cardiac patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. This was achieved by proactively developing highly individualized post-discharge care plans and leveraging community resources, addressing the critical challenge of ensuring continuity of care for vulnerable populations transitioning from acute settings. This achievement reflects my dedication to improving patient journeys and system efficiencies within demanding healthcare environments.
At Northwestern Memorial, I managed an average caseload of 28 high-acuity patients, consistently optimizing care transitions. I reduced average length of stay by 1.2 days for orthopedic surgical patients by collaborating with physical therapy and social work teams via daily interdisciplinary rounds and EPIC EMR documentation. I also designed and delivered personalized patient education on chronic disease management, empowering over 200 patients with CHF and COPD. This led to a 20% increase in self-management adherence. Furthermore, my proactive risk assessments and advocacy for complex patients resulted in a 15% decrease in hospital-acquired complications within my assigned units over the last year, ensuring safer outcomes.
