Finding the most qualified person is crucial to a successful
outcome.
It’s important a GCM have a background in nursing
and case management with
significant geriatric experience.

type of medical concern. A nurse case manager can effectively
act as the liaison between the medical provider,
the patient and family members. Their backgrounds allow them to decipher, what

for all parties involved.
