About the position

This part-time, hybrid opportunity allows you to stay closely involved in patient care while helping patients successfully manage acute and chronic conditions from home. The Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) RN will assess patient generated data provided via digital technology to manage the care of the acute and chronically ill patient. The RPM RN will provide individualized patient assessment, patient education, medication management, goal setting and clinical care planning. In collaboration with physicians and care team members, RPM nurses will educate and support self-management of medical conditions in the home environment using motivational communication techniques and positive reinforcement to changes. The RPM enrolled patient will submit vital signs and symptoms that the RN will rapidly interpret addressing patient needs, objectives and goals to improve clinical outcomes and patient experience. The RN will draw on clinical expertise for short and long-term health management goals for primary and specialty care. The RN will remotely monitor all data and respond to alerts efficiently and effectively, escalating care to patient’s primary or specialty provider.
