Sheltering Arms and VCU Health have come together to create Sheltering Arms Institute, a non-profit, state-of-the-science destination inpatient rehabilitation hospital and network of outpatient centers. The Institute blends advanced technology, research, and evidence-based clinical care to create an innovative, transdisciplinary model of rehabilitative care. Ranked among the nation’s best rehabilitation hospitals and the top physical rehab provider in Virginia by U.S. News & World Report, our organizational values and approach to care facilitate superior patient outcomes and the realization of Sheltering Arms Institute’s vision to reinvent rehabilitation. To reach that goal, we need talented team members who will contribute to our culture and patient-centric model of care. Our culture statement acts as the blueprint for aligning our choices and actions with our mission and vision. Join us on our journey to reinvent rehabilitation for life beyond limits.

Sheltering Arms Institute is seeking a Care Management Specialist PRN to join our team and provide both weekday and weekend coverage. Sheltering Arms Institute’s Care Management Team provides both direct patient care to patients and families and assist in the coordination of team delivered services. The Care Management Specialists complete a psychosocial screening, followed by a more thorough assessment as needed to contribute to the patient’s individualized transdisciplinary treatment plans, supporting the patient and family’s goals. These providers offer psychosocial support and intervention; educate patients, their family members, team members, and social work students; facilitate compliance with treatment; work with the community to provide needed services; and coordinate discharge planning activities. The Care Management Team plays a vital role in coordinating the movement of all patients through their inpatient stay at Sheltering Arms Institute, while honoring the treatment goals and plan of each individual patient. This effective and attentive planning for life beyond inpatient rehabilitation is also critical for SAI to meet organizational goals associated with our Mission, Vision, and Values. Care Management specialists work directly with patients, families, the rehab team, third party payers, and external agencies to assure the development of a coordinated rehabilitation program that will maximize patient outcomes and create a safe, sustainable discharge plan. Care Management serves as a resource to other team members regarding prudent utilization practices and payer requirements.
