Job Title & Role Description:
The Triage Nurse will serve in a direct care and patient advocacy role and will ensure interdisciplinary care is optimized toward targeted outcomes. By collaborating with the Clinical Operations team to assess, plan, implement, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate services and outcomes to maximize the patient’s health.
The Triage will ensure the safe and effective transition of care for patients discharging from the emergency department. Through telephonic-based outreach, the Triage Nurse will contact the patient or caregiver within 48 hours of discharge to conduct a comprehensive discharge assessment, conduct medication reconciliation, provide patient or caregiver education, support post-discharge order fulfillment (i.e., Durable Medical Equipment, Home Health Care, etc.), assess for any potential barriers to a successful transition to home, and evaluate for additional care planning needs. Additionally, the Triage Nurse will confirm the patient has a provider appointment within 7-14 days of discharge, or sooner, depending on the post-discharge needs of the patient.
Real-time clinical triage will be conducted either telephonically from a patient directly calling UpwardHealth for clinical care, a field staff member reaching out for escalation needs, or a systematic alert based on documentation entered in the system requiring review and triage. For Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) alerts, the Triage Nurse will take immediate action for abnormal or out-of-range patient results.
