Job Summary and Responsibilities As our Population Health Coach RN, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining and improving the quality and sustainability of our clinically integrated network (CIN). By leveraging evidence-based metric (EBM) guidelines and data-driven workflows, you will bridge the gap between clinic, post-acute, and inpatient settings. You will serve as a vital clinical partner to physicians and staff, ensuring that our patient population receives high-quality, seamless, and patient-centered care while optimizing value-based performance outcomes. Every day you will facilitate comprehensive care coordination by managing clinical referrals, monitoring high-risk patient populations, and closing critical care gaps such as annual wellness visits and preventative screenings. You will utilize the Innovaccer platform to conduct timely outreach for patients discharged from ED or inpatient units, provide education on new diabetic medications, and connect vulnerable patients with essential financial and prescription assistance programs.
