“When the care managers are not involved in planning a transition from a hospital to a residential facility it affects where the next patient will go to the next available bed. If the care managers are not involved the bed they intended to use can cause a ripple affect for the impact it can have on the clinical status of the individual who is impacted. And the costs. Our Case Managers are UTP. The system is not”.

– Mourning Fox, LCMHC Clinical and Operations Director, Dept. of Mental Health
