Truth in Advertising It's Wednesday.
You turn on your computer and while waiting for it to boot up you recall that you haven't returned your client Martha's call from yesterday.
She is likely calling about the status of her SNAP renewal because it's getting close to the end of the month and she is getting nervous about having enough money to buy food.
You jot down a note-to-self to call her back after your Life Plan meeting that is scheduled for an hour from now.
Your computer is now ready for you to login, and you type your password.
You smile as it logs you in, recalling yesterday you had an internet outage in your area and had to wait an hour for the service to come back up, throwing off your plan for the day.
As you open your email box your phone lights up and you see that your coworker Will has sent you a message asking you to call him.
He states he has a question that is very important.
In your email you see a message from your supervisor reminding you that you have 10 days to return the audit tool to her for one of your charts that's being audited.
You open your outlook calendar to mark the due date so you don't forget.
You notice that today is the 15th day since another client's life plan meeting and the post meeting draft is due.
You open the electronic health record system to take a look at the Life Plan you drafted for your meeting this morning and make some last-minute adjustments.
While doing so you receive a few emails from those who are attending this morning's life plan.
Despite having sent the link, they cannot find it and need you to send the meeting link again.
As you start up the virtual meeting await the attendees your phone begins ringing.
It's Mrs.
Rosenkrans.
She has been waiting for an update on her application for an adaptive bike which you had applied for a Family Support Services Grant for.
You yourself have reached out twice for an update from the grant provider, but have no answer.
As the last attendee arrives you realize never did clock in this morning, and write down clock in and Call Will and Update Mrs.
Rosenkrans to your to-do list while saying Good Morning, thank you all for coming today Tri-County Care values transparency! Care Management is an amazing career, but it's not right for everyone.
The days go quickly, and you will meet people who will inspire you in ways you can never begin to imagine, but it's fast paced and requires a lot of organization and out-of-the box thinking.
Did you read this and immediately think of five methods to keep your day straight? This might be the perfect career for you! If you think you'd be a great fit, please send us your resume!.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
