Work History

Integrated Care Coordinator

Centene
03.2018 - Current
  • I currently work independently with the reach-in program, I operate with minimal supervision. My role is crucial in preventing recidivism by supporting members released from prison or jail in successfully reintegrating into society. My responsibilities include coordinating adult recovery team meetings, attending staff meetings, coordinating care, assisting with housing, job training, substance abuse treatment, support services, assessments, and court requirements compliance. I conducted chart audits to ensure efficiency and compliance with the state. I also provide community referrals, coordinate hospital discharge planning, and collaborate with the courts and probation/parole officers to reduce and prevent recidivism. I have created and implemented Excel spreadsheets to track members in the Reach in Program. I have worked hard on increasing member intake/appointment attendance. I worked on quarterly reports for the company and compared them to the AHCCCS reports to improve efficiency. Coordinated cross-functional teams, resulting in seamless project execution and enhanced outcomes. The consistently high compliance scores in supervision reviews, often reaching 100%, reflect the trust and confidence placed in my independent abilities and the effectiveness and importance of my work in this area.
