Job Description

A bit about us

We’re on a mission to change healthcare — how it’s paid for, delivered, experienced. We want to put people center stage, not process or profit.  We are guided by a deep belief that every person on Medicare should be treated like we would treat a member of our own family: with loving care and a profound commitment to their health and well-being.

 

That’s why we’re gathering a whole bunch of smart, big-hearted people to create a new kind of healthcare company — one that combines compassion, health insurance, clinical care, and technology seamlessly.

 

We want to throw the long ball with people we love for a cause we believe in.  Life is short.  Join us.

 

A bit more about this role: 

Devoted Medical Group was founded on the belief that if we treat each member like we would our loved ones, we can meaningfully improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for some of America’s most vulnerable patient populations.   The Intensive Home Care (IHC) Program is at the heart of this goal:  we are a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, case managers, social workers, community health workers, and outreach specialists united by our mission to build a better care delivery system for Devoted’s most complex members.  Through a mixture of in-home and virtual interventions, we provide whole-person clinical, social and logistical support for patients with complex chronic conditions, frail elders, and patients at high risk of hospital admissions.

 

The IHC RN Case Manager is a critical part of the IHC care team, serving as both team quarterback and empowered patient advocate,ensuring the most vulnerable patients are supported, attended to, and enabled to live their best possible lives. To do so requires traditional case management roles and some broader team management roles.

Facilitating chronic disease management including coaching patients and remote monitoring

 

Team management roles include:

Running weekly member rounds to ensure the entire IHC team is focused on the barriers of our most vulnerable patients

Leading Acute Clinical Episode Review (ACER) rounds with IHC Medical Directors to look at admissions and determine the level of predictability and actionability, in an effort to prevent future readmissions

Building relationships with key local market and internal stakeholders

Modeling excellent communication, documentation, efficiency, and critical thinking skills to the interdisciplinary team

 

In short, the case manager sews together the quilt that pieces all the fragments of the health system for the most complex patients.

They are committed to integrity, excellence, and empowering our most complex members to confidently navigate the healthcare system and live healthier lives.

  • Educating members on their chronic conditions including teaching “red flags,” developing plans during an exacerbation, and identifying barriers to important care elements such as medication adherence following a Red / Yellow / Green strategy

  • The ability to learn quickly from past experiences and implement changes for improvement
  • You are comfortable working with technology and in a dynamic, startup environment
