What You’ll Do as RN UAS Assessment Nurse with Elderwood IPA:

  • Recognize potential safety concerns or health deterioration and escalate appropriately

Collaboration & Care Coordination

  • Provide education to members and caregivers regarding chronic conditions, medications, and care planning

Documentation & Compliance
