Lakeland Care Incorporated

Rather than operating as a traditional healthcare facility, LCI functions as a coordinated care entity where nurses work as part of an interdisciplinary team (IDT) to manage and coordinate services for vulnerable member populations. The organization emphasizes a person-centered, outcome-based approach to care delivery. The RN Care Manager role at LCI is fundamentally a care coordination and case management position rather than a bedside clinical role. RN Care Managers conduct comprehensive assessments of members' needs and desired outcomes, then arrange for provision of appropriate services and supports. They work under the general direction of a Care Management Supervisor and collaborate closely with other IDT members. This model positions nurses as advocates and coordinators rather than direct care providers, making it well-suited for nurses seeking a population health or case management career path.

LCI's mission centers on promoting the overall well-being of the members it serves through high-quality, person-centered, outcome-based care. The organization values interdisciplinary collaboration, comprehensive needs assessment, and arranging services based on individual member outcomes and needs.
