About The Position

This position is responsible for the daily management of an assigned patient caseload, ensuring timely care and documentation to meet patient needs and services as prescribed in the established plan of care and per MD orders. The role involves collecting data pertinent to the healthcare consumer's health or situation from patient assessments in the home setting, telephonic contacts, and/or related EMR information.
