Communication of Care
The Care Manager will ensure that you receive coordinated,
comprehensive care and that there is direct communication with all involved
parties.
- Care Coordinator works with the physicians, therapists, patient and family members to coordinate all facets of care and treatment.
- Whether there is a need to complete a disability form, obtain a return to work document, communicate with an employer or family physician;
our Care Coordinator is here to support our patient.
- The Coordinator will work with the patient throughout the process to assure prompt referrals, treatment and follow-up care.
- Patients are involved in their own recovery. Spinal care is not a "spectator sport" at The Spine Care Center at MMI.
