A bit more about this role:
This position represents an amazing opportunity for a nurse practitioner (APRN) with specialization in nephrology who has a big heart and entrepreneurial spirit and is committed to improving outcomes for people with chronic kidney disease.
Devoted Medical is building a next generation, value based, virtual-first CKD clinic that dramatically expands access to specialty care for America's most vulnerable seniors. The clinic will focus on delaying time to progression of CKD 4 and 5, and increasing the proportion of planned rather than emergency dialysis starts for Devoted Medical patients. The Chronic Kidney Disease Clinic is one of several of Devoted Medical’s virtual specialty care programs that are designed as “micro centers of excellence” that deliver highly tailored, specialized care to patients with specific chronic conditions– e.g. diabetes, congestive heart failure, hypertension, etc.
Responsibilities will include:
Your primary focus will be to deliver direct nephrology care to CKD patients to ensure medication optimization, manage electrolytes and volume status, facilitate shared decision making around goals of care, and ensure effective planning for vascular access or PD catheter placement for optimal dialysis initiation.
You will collaborate closely with other members of the nephrology care team including physicians, social workers, pharmacists, clinical assistants. You will interface closely with family members and caregivers to coordinate holistic care for the member, ensure continuity of care and deliver a collaborative care plan.
You will participate in regular panel review discussions to offer advice and provide guidance around medical management.
Perform comprehensive assessments including comprehensive diagnosis/disease review, medication review, and assessment for quality of care (STARS/HEDIS) interventions as well as social and home health/DME needs.
Utilize our home grown electronic health information system for visits while also providing feedback on how to improve the interface.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date patient records, ensuring compliance with relevant legal and ethical guidelines.
Participate in quality improvement initiatives and ongoing professional development to stay current on best practices and advancements in kidney care.
Adhere to all relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards, including patient privacy and telehealth regulations.
Attributes to success:
Skilled nurse practitioner with thorough understanding of nephrology management including disease process, treatment modalities, medication management and lifestyle modification. Direct experience working in a nephrology practice and/or a dialysis center is a must.
You are experienced working on an interprofessional team and enjoy team-based care.
You have great clinical and non-clinical judgment.
You are thorough and take the time to address the needs of your patients.
You are deeply empathetic and humanistic, and want to go the last mile for your patients.
You enjoy a fast-paced, high-energy, organization. Agility and collaboration are key as we will change and improve quickly.
You welcome learning and using new technologies that are being developed in parallel. You thrive on knowing your work can help make these technologies better for you and your patients.
You learn from every experience and are not afraid to fail - that's how you're wired.
Finally and most importantly, you have a passion for making healthcare better, solving complex problems, and supporting the delivery of healthcare that we would want for our own family members.
Desired skills and experience:
APRN with 5 or more years working in outpatient clinical practice.
Minimum of 2 years of experience in a nephrology practice or dialysis unit required.
Proficiency in using telehealth technology and electronic health records (EHR).
Virtual care experience is preferred along with a strong desire to continue practicing clinical nursing and performing virtual visits - you believe in the mission of bringing care to where the patient lives.
An understanding of managed care is a plus, including how to appropriately assess STARS/HEDIS measures, code clinical comorbidities, and identify clinical care gaps.
