Job Description
This role requires you to be located in the Greater Heights area of Houston, Texas.
A bit about this role:
Devoted Medical was founded on the belief that if we treat each patient 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 care managers, community health workers, and scheduling team, 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. We succeed through building trust and relationships with our patients. We start by identifying our patients' values and priorities. We center our work around those values and priorities: we will help patients define goals around them, and pave a clinical pathway that aligns with them.
Required skills and experience:
An unrestricted and active APRN licensure to practice in the assigned geography
Current certification in your area of APRN specialization
Active BLS at time of hire and must maintain while employed at Devoted Medical
Three or more years working as an APRN
Experience in primary care, house calls, internal medicine, family medicine, geriatrics, and/or palliative care
Desired skills and experience:
Extra interest in bilingual Spanish or Haitian Creole speakers or strong cultural competencies across a range of cultures
A strong desire to continue practicing clinical nursing and perform in home visits as well as virtual visits - you believe in the mission of bringing care to where the patient lives
Prior home based practice is a plus
Prior ICU experience is a plus
Your Responsibilities and Impact will include:
Home-based chronic care:
See patients in their homes 3-4 days per week, 5-7 visits per day dependent on patient needs.
Provide virtual care (video or telephonic), 8-15 visits per day dependent on patient needs.
Conduct visits in the Devoted-built Orinoco electronic medical record.
Conduct structured conversations with patients about their goals and values, so we may align care plans accordingly.
See patients with multiple medical and psychosocial comorbidities, and appropriately focus on patients’ stated needs, as well as their primary morbidity drivers.
Appropriately document the full extent of each patient’s medical complexity.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary team in the care of complex patients and their caregivers.
Interdisciplinary team coordination requires collaboration across the IHC team and Devoted Medical Speciality lines and disease management programs:
Participate in team huddles with your assigned case manager, community health worker, and social care manager 2-3 times per week to discuss complex cases.
Participate in interdisciplinary (IDT) rounds once a week to obtain multidisciplinary team input on medically and socially complex patients, recently hospitalized patients, and review of patient panel.
Collaborate with Devoted Medical specialty lines D2Me, TOC, virtual urgent care, and disease management.
Building a Panel:
Onboarding patients into the IHC program by building meaningful relationships to create sustainable patient panels in your geography.
Your attributable geography can cover an area that will require variable drive times but will fit visit and drive time within the work day.
Knowing which patients you are responsible for and prioritizing your attention to those patients that most need your time, skills, and attention.
Being able to down-titrate your attention and time away from patients who are stable.
Nominating patients from your panel to IDT Rounds for interdisciplinary conversation.
