The RN Field Service Coordinator will manage the care of members residing in Nursing Facilities by completing in-person health assessments and coordinating patient care, focusing on disease management and keeping members healthy and independent.  The RN Field Service Coordinator will provide clinical and medical management services, including case management, health assessments, interventions, and discharge planning.  This candidate may identify, coordinate or provide appropriate levels of care under the direct supervision of an RN or MD.  Work is generally self-directed and not prescribed; this person will work from home when not completing face-to-face member assessments in the field, so it will be important to function in a less structured work environment.
