- Healthcare team is at a loss for options in complex cases which could be clinically, psychosocially, financially or legally focused.
- Act as power of attorney for healthcare
- Provide for guardianship role
- Prevent readmission by clinical post discharge monitoring and oversight in high risk cases.

- Family that is not able or lives out of the area increase the complexity and timeliness of discharges are cases that Charism can coordinate for length of stay management.
