The RN Clinical Care Manager (CCM) is the clinical anchor of a dedicated care pod within the Enhanced Care Management (ECM) program, holding full documentation and clinical oversight responsibility for a cohort of approximately 500 ECM members. Working as an integral, fully remote member of the pod's interdisciplinary Care Team, alongside Lead Care Managers, MAs, and Community Health Workers, the RN CCM ensures that every member's care plan, assessment, and clinical record reflects sound nursing judgment and meets payer and regulatory standards. This role combines the relational, member‑engagement strengths of the Lead Care Manager with the clinical expertise, documentation rigor, and oversight responsibilities of an RN Case Manager. Under the general supervision of Enhanced Care Management Leadership, the RN Clinical Care Manager provides clinical oversight and documentation review for all care plans, assessments, and clinical notes generated within the pod, working remotely alongside the Lead Care Managers and Community Health Workers who conduct direct member engagement. Through collaboration with Primary Care Providers (PCPs), interdisciplinary Care Team members, and community partners, the CCM ensures that members receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place—supporting improved outcomes and health equity for diverse Medi‑Cal populations across the assigned 500‑member cohort.
