Care Manager

UC San Diego Health is a Magnet designated organization, which is a prestigious recognition that applies to only 10% of all U.S. hospitals. Magnet is the “gold standard” for nursing excellence and is based on strengths in five key areas which include transformational leadership, structural empowerment, exemplary professional practice, new knowledge, innovation and improvements and empirical outcomes. UC San Diego Health has held its Magnet status since 2011. Our Care Managers are essential members of our healthcare team who positively affect our patient and organization outcomes. UCSD is a tertiary-level acute hospital, so the Care Managers coordinate care for medically complex patients, allowing them to use their strong critical thinking skills and creative discharge planning. The Care Management Department is comprised of highly skilled Care Managers and Social Workers to provide excellent patient care for our diverse and complex patient population. This dynamic department continues to expand and grow every year adding more valuable team members.
