Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about a time you helped a patient and family make a difficult decision about care after the hospital.

What they are checking: Whether they can guide families through hard choices with compassion while respecting the patient's wishes, because those decisions shape life after discharge.

Tell me about a time a discharge went wrong. What did you learn?

What they are checking: Whether they reflect honestly on a failed transition and change their practice, because discharge mistakes teach the most when someone owns them.

What would you do

A patient needs a skilled nursing bed but none are available nearby. What do you do?

What they are checking: Problem-solving with limited post-acute options, which is common in rural areas.

How do you make sure the patient gets the right level of care while managing cost?

What they are checking: Whether they can balance the right level of care against cost, because the posting stresses using resources well without shortchanging the patient.

How do you handle a provider who disagrees with your discharge recommendation?

What they are checking: Whether they can advocate for their recommendation while keeping a good working relationship with physicians, because discharge plans succeed through teamwork.

About the work

Walk me through your first hour of the day as a case manager at Marshfield Medical Center.

What they are checking: Whether they have a clear routine for reviewing patients and discharges first thing, because early organization keeps the whole day's discharges on track.

How do you identify patients who will need complex discharge planning early?

What they are checking: Whether they screen patients for complex discharge needs early, because starting planning on day one prevents delays and avoidable extra hospital days.

How do you make referrals and link patients with outside care resources?

What they are checking: Whether they know community and post-acute resources and follow through on referrals, because a referral only helps if it actually connects the patient.

How do you teach a patient what they need to know before going home?

What they are checking: Whether their discharge teaching is clear and checked for understanding, because confusion at home is a major driver of readmissions.

How do you keep track of many patients and their changing needs?

What they are checking: Whether they have dependable systems for tracking many patients, because a case manager's caseload changes hourly and missed updates delay discharges.
