Case Management and Coordination of
Health Care

Public Health Nurse, Case Manager provides discharge planning and case management
for patients that are hospitalized. Services also include coordination of care for Elders
and/or patients with chronic illness. Yearly flu clinics in each reservation are facilitated by
the PHN as part of public health prevention. Our goal is to work with family and
communities to provide safe care at home and prevent future healthcare complications.
The Public Health Nurse works closely with the Diabetes Medical Team and the
Dementia/Cognitive Health Nurse to provide services in each tribal community, as well as
other service areas where IHC Native American’s reside. Medical care, prevention, and
case management are all services provided to maximize independence of individual care
needs, under the direction of our IHC Medical Providers.
