Duties & Responsibilities:
The VCU Health Center for Advanced Health Management (CAHM) is a multi-faceted care system including: office-based medical care for those who are comparatively mobile; home-based care both short-term and long-term for those that are less mobile; short and long term nursing home care; inpatient consult service at VCU Medical Center; behavioral health treatment and counseling on-site; pharmacy consultation on-site; robust care management and social work services integrated with the medical team; developing telemedicine services (triage, counseling, monitoring, video-visits). CAHM opened in 2014, and is modeled to perform optimally in the burgeoning outcomes-focused, performance-driven reimbursement environment. High-risk beneficiaries are targeted for assignment to CAHM based on multi-faceted complex needs and are supported holistically using a comprehensive continuum of services that VCU owns or organizes. Providers work in teams and patient volumes and work flows are decreased from typical standards in recognition of the complex nature of the patient population, and the increased effort and time required to manage to outcomes now expected by payers and patients, alike.
