LPN-Virtual Health, Continuum of Care/Weekends Part time

SSM Health Care • Jefferson City, MO

About The Position

These roles are for our Remote Patient Monitoring program. We are looking for a nurse who has a genuine interest in virtual health. The patients on this service receive equipment for them to check daily vitals and respond to symptom/risk screening questions on a device. The LPN role for this program does a review of all the patients on the program each day - looking at their daily vitals/survey responses of the patients and calling them if anything is outside of goal to discuss/reinforce education/escalate to the RN or provider as needed. It can be both outgoing and incoming calls - phone or video. A comfort with technology is a must for this position. Experience in triage/virtual health is preferred. This position may be a great fit for a nurse who has great direct patient care/bedside experience but is looking to use those skills in a different way and would prefer more of a care management/patient education centered position vs a skills based one.
