- Carry a high-quality caseload
- Own your patients' outcomes: drive low avoidable-hospitalization rates and strong patient-experience scores; participate in case conferences/team huddles to improve our quality.
- Be a referral-source ambassador: every discharge planner, ALF, and physician you touch should want to send the next patient to us because you were responsive and excellent.
