Registered Nurse (RN) Case Manager

As a Registered Nurse (RN) Case Manager, you will provide comprehensive, patient-centered care management services to support Veterans with chronic, high-risk, or post-acute conditions. You will conduct detailed nursing assessments, develop individualized care plans, implement evidence-based interventions, and evaluate patient outcomes across the continuum of care. The RN triages patient-generated health information-including vital signs, symptom reports, and structured clinical data-to identify potential complications and initiate timely, clinically appropriate interventions. You will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team that includes PACT, HBPC, Mental Health, Social Work, Pharmacy, and Nutrition, and coordinate with community providers when shared care is required. The RN delivers health education, coaching, and motivational support to enhance Veterans' self-management skills, reduce preventable hospitalizations, and improve access to care. The RN is accountable for adhering to all organizational policies, clinical guidelines, and regulatory standards while demonstrating sound clinical judgment, professionalism, and emerging leadership skills in providing safe, effective telehealth and outpatient nursing care.
