Patient Care Technician Float

DaVita Kidney Care

20h•Onsite

About The Position

The PCT Float works in a dialysis den on-site at the Skilled Nursing Facility. The SNF dialysis CCHT must be willing to float to support DaVita SNF dialysis dens. Shifts are approximately 12+ hours. Each den has 6 -8 chairs. The CCHT would float to DaVita SNF dialysis dens to include but not limited to Alden Poplar Creek, (Hoffman Estates, IL) Alden Lakeland (Chicago, IL), Bella Terra Lombard (Lombard, IL), Citadel of Bourbonnais (Bourbonnais, IL), and Alden Debes (Rockford, IL). Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week placing a significant burden on patients and adding significant avoidable costs to the health care system. DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the Village. In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. PCTs will work in conjunction with dialysis RNs to provide dialysis care. DSD Dialysis care is a complex but fulfilling service line. Meeting and/or exceeding clinical outcomes are the goals and multitasking is an expectation to meet the needs of the service, the patients and our SNF partners. Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use your mind constantly. You apply your "core" skills to monitor patients before, during and after dialysis treatment, including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.
