Care Coordinator I, Care Transitions in Rockville, Maryland at Avail Health

Role OverviewAvail Health is launching a hospital-based Care Transitions Program supporting Medicare-age patients with complex medical, behavioral health, and social needs following hospital discharge. The Care Coordinator I is the operational engine of that program — managing enrollment, scheduling, communication workflows, and the day-to-day logistics that keep the interdisciplinary team running.
You’ll work onsite at the hospital alongside the Senior RN Manager, serving as one of the faces of Avail Health to hospital staff, patients, and caregivers. You’re not in a back-office role — you’re a visible, trusted partner in the discharge and transition process.

• Coordinate post-discharge appointments, telehealth and mobile visits, and provider schedules aligned to patient risk tier and program timelines
• Serve as a liaison between hospital staff, patients, caregivers, and the Avail Health care team — managing inbound/outbound calls, faxes, portal messages, and referral routing
• Prepare patients and caregivers for post-discharge follow-up and telehealth visit workflows; troubleshoot access and logistics proactively
• Support daily huddles and operational readiness activities with the interdisciplinary team
• Document interactions, scheduling updates, and coordination milestones in the EMR; support tracking of referral status and enrollment progression
