We are actively recruiting for an RN New Grad Intern for our remote Care Advice Line, (CAL RN1) to join our rapidly growing Population Health team. The primary role of the CAL RN1 will be to provide our patients with on-demand telephone-based care management services through a 24/7 Nurse Advice Line (i.e. telephone triage). CAL RN1's will work closely with, and be mentored by senior nureses to assess symptoms/concerns of callers to determine the urgency and type of care needed, refer to or schedule appointments with providers as appropriate, and give health information and advice to callers. The goal of the Nurse Advice Line is to reduce unnecessary visits to the clinic and emergency department, provide information for self-care and symptom management, and to coordinate care across the healthcare delivery system. CAL RN1 operate in a team-based model, acting as an extension of the primary care provider.
