This role ensures timely, informed referrals; facilitates coordination among inpatient and outpatient departments; and provides education and support to patients and families regarding post-discharge services. With a deep understanding of levels of care, discharge workflows, and what differentiates Acadia's outpatient programs, the Outpatient Navigator plays a vital role in increasing step-down engagement, reducing readmissions, and strengthening care transitions.

  • Outpatient Services to ensure capacity, program compatibility, and mutual awareness of discharge dates 
  • Participate in daily flash meetings to review emerging stepdown candidates, rationale for discharges not stepped down, and report out on day one PHP/IOP attendance for prior day's step-downs  

Performance Monitoring and Continuous Improvement  

  • Track step-down admissions and conversion rate and trends over time  
  • Identify barriers/opportunities to further enhance patient engagement and reduce readmissions  
  • Report weekly progress to facility CEO, COO, and Director of Outpatient Services
