Work with a small panel of patients where you can directly experience the impact of your care. In healthcare systems, the patient has too often become secondary due to processes and incentives that don’t positively impact the patient for the long term.

  • Perform post-op and hospital discharge visits to help patients through vulnerable transitions
  • Review and document patient updates and progress in care management platform
  • Coordinate with dialysis providers to ensure transitions of care are seamless

 

Position Requirements

  • Frequent local travel to perform in-home visits
  • Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is required in this role. The company will support your certification completion through onboarding
  • Infrequent domestic travel may be required, primarily to Brentwood, TN for training
  • Self-starter with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Ability to show empathy and quickly build relationships with patients and physicians
  • Graduate of an accredited School of Nursing
  • Currently licensed as a Registered Nurse in the State of the posted location
  • 2+ years previous experience working in care management and/or with CKD/ESRD patients
