Description
“Engaging Talent for Extraordinary Careers” You may know Continuum Health Partners by our hospitals. Beth Israel Medical Center, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospitals, and New York Eye and Ear Infirmary are some of New York City’s most distinguished health care providers. Continuum prides itself on innovative care and an impressive array of resources to fulfill its mission of providing New York with a powerful healthcare network. Our success is attributed to a team that brings together outstanding clinical resources and reinforces our service traditions — ensuring the highest quality of care for our patients. Find your place in this extraordinary environment! Care Manager (RN required) Transforming care to meet the evolving needs of our patients. This is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting initiative that is transforming the delivery of care. At Continuum, we use the title Care Manager instead of case coordinator or case manager because your role is caring for patients, not managing cases. Our Care Managers are responsible for ensuring that patient centered care is managed and delivered with the whole patient in mind. We are currently in the midst of implementing a new Medical Home Initiative (MHI) that will transform our affiliated primary care practices into fully functional Patient-Centered Medical Homes. This initiative, which incorporates best practices is aimed at improving performance on the key dimensions of quality, cost and patient satisfaction, and to prepare for the emerging healthcare environment. As the Medical Home Initiative continues to expand, we are seeking multiple Care Managers to organize, coordinate, and provide care coordination and care management services to patients who are most at risk for health deterioration, sentinel events, and/or poor outcomes. Care Managers will also ensure that patients receive optimal and preventive care across multiple health settings and multiple physicians/providers. Requirements: Requires a Registered Nurse (BSN required); and at least 3-5 years of acute care experience, preferably within the ICU setting; along with discharge planning, case management, and disease management experience. Position also requires excellent skills in: clinical assessment, EMR documentation, setting priorities and developing care plans. Communication, problem solving, and the use of population registries and other databases is essential. Experience with clinical system design, and project management skills are a plus; as is exceptional people skills to build relationships with patients, staff and providers. When you join us, you’ll be rewarded with a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and an environment that welcomes your input and expertise. Continuum Health Partners is committed to diversity and equal opportunity. *This is a grant-funded position*
