LPN-Patient Care Advocate II

Job Summary

The Patient Care Advocate II (LPN/LVN) is a licensed, field-based member of WellBe’s interdisciplinary geriatric care team who delivers white-glove, high-quality, in-home care to frail, poly-chronic, elderly Medicare Advantage patients in the comfort of their own homes. This role combines patient-advocacy, care-coordination, and quality (HEDIS) responsibilities with clinical and telehealth visit-facilitation responsibilities.

Practicing within the LPN/LVN scope of practice and at the direction of the assigned Provider, the Patient Care Advocate II conducts in-person patient visits, facilitates in-home telehealth consultations with an APP or Physician, captures and documents clinical data, supports patient education, and serves as the local-market connector for patient support services across the WellBe platform. The role models the WellBe mission and values, works closely with the provider and social-work teams, and functions as part of an integrated, interdisciplinary care team with no direct-report responsibility. The incumbent follows the rules and regulations of state and federal regulatory agencies and other certifying bodies for their region. Daily, local travel to meet patients and engage the community is an essential part of the role.

Support the Comprehensive Initial Visits, Follow-up Visits, and Urgent Visits. Complete drop-in visits for the unengaged and disengaged patients and support open HEDIS .
Conduct check-in visits/calls to our lower acuity patients, enhancing our “call us first” model.
Escalate patient clinical concerns to the APP, Community Operations Director (COD), or Community Medical Director (CMD).

Patient Advocacy & Care Coordination

Develop rapport and deliver exceptional, compassionate in-home service; provide positive customer service and treat all patients and staff with respect.
Act as a community resource for the patient and work to engage patients who are not currently engaged in care.
Schedule patient appointments with the WellBe team and coordinate specialist appointments and diagnostic tests.
Answer patients’ clinical questions strictly within the boundaries of the SOP.
Explain WellBe processes and the care journey.
Review patient-care interventions and assess patient needs for transitions of care, end-of-life discussions, palliative-care interventions, and medication adherence.

Quality, Documentation & Team Collaboration

Support the APP in ongoing panel management and quality-of-care efforts; utilize HEDIS tracking tools to meet and improve HEDIS / STARS performance and close gaps, including medication adherence.
Contribute complete, accurate, and timely data to patients’ records and ensure all required clinical and non-clinical documentation is in the EMR; complete and submit all documentation daily.
Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team and participate in regularly scheduled team and Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meetings, providing additional information on patient and family interactions.
Build relationships with local community providers and caregivers to maintain WellBe’s presence and reputation in local markets.
Attend all required trainings, including equipment / device training; complete ongoing education as additional skills and protocols are added.
