The core function of the LPN Practice Outreach Coordinator will focus on transitions of care including inpatient, emergency department, and skilled nursing facility transitions. Although transitions in care are a daily priority, additional functions of this role include proactive outreach to patients to minimize gaps in care. A Gap in Care is defined as the discrepancy between recommended best practices and the care that is actually obtained /provided. This most commonly includes individuals missing age-based or seasonal screenings, non-compliance with chronic disease management visits every 3 months, missing prescribed care (referrals). This team member will be central to coordinating prescribed care and preventive screenings. The work includes data mining in patients' EMRs, calling patients to facilitate prescribed care based on patient and provider preferences, and attending Quality Meetings at each assigned practice. The work will naturally flow from individual practice and provider performance against measures. This work will include telephonic outreach to patients.
