A day in the life at Wonderful:

This role is based in Lost Hills, CA, and will travel to other wellness centers in the Central Valley. This role will serve as an integral part of our onsite primary care team, responsible for helping patients improve their physical and mental health. This role functions as a core member of our enhanced Primary Care team that involves the patient's primary care provider, a psychiatric consultant, and other mental health and social service providers in the clinic and community. This role is responsible for coordinating and supporting mental health and social care within the clinic and for coordinating referrals to clinically indicated mental health and social services outside the clinic. The care manager may provide evidence-based treatments or work with other mental health and social service providers when such treatment is indicated and, on occasion, provide community outreach/education with other center team members.

• Screen and assess patients for common mental health, substance abuse disorders, and unmet social needs.
• Provide patient education about common mental health and substance abuse disorders and available treatment options.
• Monitor patients (in person or by telephone) for changes in clinical symptoms and treatment side effects or complications.

• Participate in regularly scheduled (usually weekly) caseload consultation with the psychiatric consultant and communicate resulting treatment recommendations to the patient's PCP. Consultations will focus on patients new to treatment or who are not improving as expected.
• Facilitate patient engagement and follow-up in care.
• Track patient follow-up and clinical outcomes using a registry. Document in-person and telephone encounters in the registry and use the system to identify and re-engage patients.
• Document patient progress and treatment recommendations in the registry so they can be easily shared with PCPs, the psychiatric consultant, and other treating providers.
• Facilitate treatment plan changes for patients who are not improving as expected in consultation with the PCP and the psychiatric consultant. These may include changes in medications or psychosocial treatments or appropriate referrals for additional services.
• Complete relapse prevention plan with patients who are in remission.
