Job Summary
The RN Care Manager will assist NGPG Providers in applying systems, science, incentives, and information to improve medical practice and patient care, eliminate duplication, and reduce the need for medical services by helping patients and their support systems in managing medical conditions more effectively. The RN Care Manager will: independently, and in collaboration with providers, identify populations with modifiable risks; align care manager services to the needs of those patients, and implement interprofessional team-based approaches to care. The RN Care Manager will provide those services determined to assist patients in achieving an optimal level of wellness and improve coordination of care while providing cost effective, non-duplicative services. The primary responsibility of the RN Care Manager is to assist in the identification and management of NGPG patients with complex health care needs. Care management services may be provided in a variety of settings including in-person, face-to-face encounters, by telephone, or electronic encounters such as telehealth visits. Primary areas of focus will include management of patients with multiple chronic conditions, including those complex health care needs identified by NGPG providers and managing transitions of care. Clinical care such as medication reconciliation, assessment of adherence to treatment plans, and the identification of adverse events can facilitate intensified treatment and/or mobilize additional patient support.
