David Carvelli is an RN and spent more than half of his career at the bedside and then transitioned to the LTAC (long term acute care) world where he was hired as a liaison/marketing role.
David quickly grew to the VP of marketing role until the reimbursement structure forced many LTACs to close their doors.
Since then David has been with several nursing home companies helping them succeed financially with their census requirements and business goals.
Shmuel: Why were liaisons welcomed into the hospitals in the past?
David: Ease of access. The case managers were able to give a name to a liaison and have them work out the discharge.
The liaisons were actually assisting the case managers in the discharge process. This facilitated a successful transition and significantly expedited the process.
Shmuel: Why has this changed? Why are the liaisons no longer welcomed in the hospitals?
David: Security and privacy. Also, with the electronic referral systems, the case managers can send a referral to many facilities with the click of a button. This makes it less necessary to have liaisons seeing them in person every day.
