- Full-time
Job descriptionOur goal is to have an average caseload of 13-15 patients. Depending on referral patterns, this can be higher or lower. We can see fluctuations of up to 16-18 patients at times. Leadership has bi-weekly staffing meetings to assess hiring needs to help us respond to an increased census as quickly as possible. Our goal is to have a minimum of 20 visits per week. This averages out to 4-5 visits a day, but this is also dependent upon patient needs, their location, and several other factors. Because of the nature of end-of-life care, a patient's needs can change rapidly. You will have the flexibility to move visits from one day to another to best suit your patients within regulatory guidelines. Visits typically take 45 minutes to 1 hour, but if there is active symptom management, visits may take longer to ensure comfort. You'll see your patients wherever they consider home (personal residence, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities). We provide quality care regardless of circumstance to a variety of different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. You'll need to be comfortable training the caregivers to care for their loved one. This might include things like demonstrating wound care, how to administer medications, how to provide personal care, and what to expect at end-of-life. Expect to spend extended time periods in your car, driving between patients, documenting, and coordinating care. You'll use your own personal vehicle, and mileage driven between patient visits is reimbursable. Coordination of care between your patient's community medical provider, hospice provider, and other disciplines to provide updates, obtain new orders, takes place in between visits. Patients are assigned by your director based on your team's needs - determined by acuity, geography, and many other factors. Real-time documentation in patient's home; medications and supplies are ordered online. Self-scheduling based on patient's needs and acuity, but you'll also need flexibility to assist your team making visits as needed to provide excellent patient care. You will be part of an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) consisting of a physician, nurse practitioner, registered nurse, medical social worker, chaplain, and a CNA. Volunteers are also available to assist in patient's needs. The team meets every two weeks to discuss patient eligibility.
