ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Registered Nurse at Daymark Health, you will be a key member of an integrated Care Team, which includes a Nurse Practitioner, Health Partner, Enrollment Specialist, and Social Worker. You will deliver hands-on, compassionate care directly in patients’ homes and through virtual platforms. You will provide triage, case management, and care navigation for oncology patients, many of whom have additional comorbidities.
Your primary focus is delivering direct clinical care in the home: administering treatments, managing symptoms, conducting assessments, and being a trusted, present resource for patients and their families during one of the most challenging times of their lives. You will also support patients through virtual platforms and help them access Daymark’s services and support.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
In this role, you will provide direct patient care in the home and through virtual platforms. Additionally, you will conduct health assessments, educate patients, and deliver high-quality care to meet each patient's unique needs. In this role you will:
- Deliver In-Home Clinical Care. Master hands-on care as a clinician in patients’ homes administering IV fluids, accessing ports, conducting point-of-care testing, and managing acute and chronic symptoms with confidence and skill.
- Provide Urgent Clinical Support. Triage urgent needs from patients, escalations to a home visit or to our Nurse Practitioners. Offer consultative clinical guidance and help patients navigate critical moments in their care.
- Support Patients Across the Full Care Continuum. Provide comprehensive clinical support from active treatment through survivorship or end-of-life care, adapting your approach to meet each patient where they are.
- Proactively Address Patient Needs. Quickly identify and act on patient needs: symptom management, nutritional support, discharge planning, and provider referrals, without waiting to be asked.
- Address Social Determinants of Health. Partner with your non-clinical Care Team members to resolve barriers like food insecurity and transportation that affect patient outcomes.
- Master Daymark Systems. Become familiar with Daymark's systems, tools, technology, and partners.
- Build Trusting Relationships. Establish strong, trusting relationships with patients and their care networks by prioritizing empathy and active listening in every interaction.
- Adhere to Operational Standards. You’re following Care Team policies, procedures, and documentation standards, contributing to operational efficiency and maintaining high-quality care with comfort.
