Do you want to make a difference in healthcare?
Created to transform how healthcare is delivered to the most
medically vulnerable members in our community. Our medical group
provides home-based medical care to chronically ill patients, many
of whom are ill-equipped to navigate our overwhelming healthcare
system.
Because many of our patients are frail and elderly, we deliver care
primarily in the comfort of their home. Our Program is also offered
to eligible patients at no incremental financial cost to them. We
are not a fee-for-service practice; we benefit economically only if
we deliver high-quality patient outcomes and satisfaction. As a
result, our clinical teams can spend quality-time caring for a
smaller number of patients, giving all patients the space, respect,
compassion and care they deserve.
The Field Nurse (LPN/LVN) conducts in-home/field-based visits to
address urgent clinical issues with Landmark/Optum patients. While
on-site, the Field Nurse will evaluate patients and communicate,
via telephone or secure video, with the supervising provider. The
provider will direct the evaluation and care provided. All
activities will fall within the employee's scope of practice as set
by the State they are practicing in.
