The RN Field Service Coordinator will manage the care of members residing in individual home by completing in-person health assessments and coordinating patient care, focusing on disease management and keeping members healthy and independent.  The 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 patient assessments in the field, so it will be important to function in a less structured work environment.

  • Identifying early risk factors and conducting ongoing assessments and documenting in an electronic file.

  • Creating, reviewing and revising care plans and focusing on disease management.

  • Functioning as an advocate for members and decreasing unnecessary hospitalizations.

  • Collaborating with the member's PCP to deliver and coordinate necessary services.

  • Building relationships with members and their families; assisting them with proper health choices

  • Ensuring cases are documented in a timely manner.
