Job Description
LPN- Hospital at Home: Patient Coordinator (Full Time)
Sign On Bonus Offered
Mercy Hospital-at-Home
Mercy HaH is an advanced home-based care model, that provides patients with acute care at home that is equivalent to traditional hospital-level care.
Patients presenting to the Emergency Department with acute care needs that would normally require hospitalization may be 'admitted' to the Mercy HaH program. After receiving medically appropriate transportation home, Mercy HaH patients receive all acute care services in their home, including twice daily nursing or paramedic visits, a clinical provider visits daily (virtually or in-person), medication management, necessary equipment, and 24/7 medical oversight. HaH episodes of care typically last 3-5 days before the patient is 'discharged' back to the community setting.
Overview:
The Mercy HaH Patient Associate (LPN) provides day-to-day hospital-based operations, coordination, and logistics support to the HaH clinical team. The Patient Associate (LPN) is a key member of the HaH operations team and is the 'glue' supporting all hospital-based logistics prior to HaH admission. The LPN is a high-energy, patient-facing team member who coordinates and supports an exceptional patient/family experience during the HaH admission process.
