Transitional Care Management (TCM) / Care Coordination RN - Hybrid

Transitional Care Management (TCM) / Care Coordination RN

Location: Melville, NY (Hybrid)

Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire - Mon-Fri 08:00am-04:00pm or 09:00am-05:00pm (2 Days Remote / 3 Days Onsite After Approximately 4 Weeks of Onsite Training)

Compensation: Pay Range: $54.00-$57.00 Per HR

About the Opportunity:

We are partnering with a leading Long Island health system with an extensive and growing network of hospital-affiliated physician practices, ambulatory care locations, and specialty services. The organization provides patients with coordinated care across primary care, specialty medicine, diagnostic services, and hospital-based care throughout Long Island. As the ambulatory network continues to grow, we are seeking experienced Registered Nurses to join the Transitional Care Management (TCM) / Care Coordination team and help patients successfully transition from the hospital or emergency department back into outpatient care. This is an excellent opportunity for an RN with experience in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, Primary Care, Ambulatory Care, Case Management, Care Coordination, Community Health, or post-discharge Home Care who is interested in using their clinical experience in a MondayFriday, non-bedside environment. You do not need previous TCM experience. Nurses with strong transferable clinical experience will be considered, and training will be provided.

What Makes This Role Different:

Rather than traditional bedside nursing, you'll use your clinical judgment to determine what happens next for patients after they leave the hospital. You'll review the patient's diagnosis, medications, discharge plan and current needs; speak directly with the patient; identify potential risks or barriers; coordinate primary and specialty follow-up; and help ensure the patient receives the right care and services to prevent an avoidable return to the hospital.

Experience & Qualifications:

Active New York State RN license required. Prior experience in care coordination, case management, transitional care, discharge planning, or ambulatory nursing strongly preferred. Experience helping patients transition from hospital/inpatient care back to the community. Strong understanding of follow-up care, referrals, medications, appointments, and barriers to care. Comfortable independently managing and prioritizing a patient caseload. Strong EMR/documentation and communication skills. Experience working with medically complex or high-risk patient populations preferred.
