Nursing Exam Prep [NCLEX-RN] 14, Care Coordination and Case Management

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • Discharge planning is a priority that begins on admission, not just on the day of discharge. • The NCLEX tests your ability to differentiate the specific roles of the RN, case manager, and social worker in patient transitions. • Your primary role as the RN in care coordination is managing the clinical aspects of care, such as patient education and medication reconciliation. • For socioeconomic barriers to care, such as a patient being unable to afford medication, the social worker is the appropriate referral. • Use the "I-PASS" mnemonic (Illness severity, Patient summary, Action list, Situation awareness, Synthesis) to structure safe patient handoffs.
