• Fostering seamless coordination: Proximity to and coordination with other critical caretakers, such as the Nephrologist, dialysis teammates, and integrated care leaders.

The Opportunity:

Starting a program requires flexibility and patience, but it affords the opportunity to play a pivotal role in defining the initiative’s clinical direction . You will have direct access to top DaVita leaders to provide feedback on innovation and care redesign. It also means that, pending performance, there will be future leadership opportunities as we scale the program.

• Coordinate patient follow-ups to proactively address patient concerns, including coordinating care with other providers, ordering key labs, and prescribing medication.
