We are uniting industry-leading solutions to build an integrated care model that holistically addresses an individual's physical, mental and social needs - helping patients access and navigate care anytime and anywhere.

As a team member of our Senior Community Care (SCC) product, we work with a team to provide care to patients at home in a nursing home, assisted living for senior housing. This life-changing work adds a layer of support to improve access to care.

We're connecting care to create a seamless health journey for patients across care settings. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together. Don't miss this 'ONE OF A KIND' unique opportunity with the company leading the way in healthcare! Patient Connect is one-time comprehensive visit designed for patients who have recently been hospitalized and are in a skilled rehab facility. The purpose of this visit is to ensure a smooth transition from rehab to home and to prevent readmission. During this visit you will capture STAR measures, educate the patient, and document all their acute and chronic diagnoses. This position provides the NP multiple opportunities each day to use their experience and education in varying settings to provide guidance and compassion to a vulnerable population during a difficult transition in their healthcare.

The NP will not be managing care but will be communicating pertinent findings to the attending and facility staff. You will not bear the heavy responsibility for orders, treatments, and follow up. You will have the autonomy you deserve, which shows your value and ability to work independently. We would love to hear from you!
