As professionals, alumni are able to help shape and optimize care processes. They assume the function of a case and care manager. They assume an innovative key function in the implementation and further development of care processes in the interdisciplinary and multiprofessional professional field of health care. The alumni are familiar with the range of activities of ward and area managers. They guide trainees/alumni, nursing assistants and members of social care professions to take over nursing activities or to support basic care and exercise supervision or accompanying control over the implementation of the activities. They assess the delegability of individual nursing interventions and medical orders to authorized persons. They instruct and guide them in the performance of delegated activities. In cooperation with the person being cared for and the lay caregiver, they develop a quality assurance system that enables the timely recognition of circumstances that no longer permit nursing care by lay caregivers.
