12 Transition and Care Management Team Each VA Medical Center has a Transition and Care Management (TCM) team specially trained in coordinating care for transitioning Service members and new Veterans. TCM team members include: TCM Program Manager (RN or Social Worker): Has overall administrative and clinical responsibility for the team, and coordinates patient care activities to ensure that Service members and Veterans are receiving patient-centered, integrated care and benefits TCM Case Manager (RN or Social Worker): Directly coordinates healthcare and community services to meet the needs of the Service member, Veteran and their families, and ensures that all clinicians providing care are doing so in a cohesive and integrated manner Transition Patient Advocate (TPA): Serves as an advocate to help Service members, Veterans, and their families navigate the VA healthcare system 12

LC function may be performed by clinical or non clinical member of the team Whenever possible, the team member with the LC role will be physically located with the SM/Veteran Will document Comprehensive Plan (CP) in Service specific Information Management/ Information Technology (IT) System of Record until DoD/VA Interagency Comprehensive Plan (ICP) IT solution is implemented (Proposed 2016) 15
16 Lead Coordinator Role (continued) Each Service and VA has own internal process of designating staff as LC While inpatient at MTF or VA, LC functions will be assigned to the clinical case manager under the direction of the primary healthcare provider As SM/V moves to outpatient, the LC role may transition to a non clinical member of the team Key goal is to provide a standardized process for a warm hand-off from one LC to another Determination of LC transfer made by the DoD or VA Care Management Team (CMT) LC responsible to ensure ICP is developed in coordination with other members of the CMT, the SM/V, family and Caregiver Until a common ICP is developed, each Service/VA will document in their respective CP 16
