About the Role

We’re seeking a compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) to serve as a Nurse Navigator – Principal Care Management (PCM). In this role, you will provide comprehensive, patient-centered care coordination for individuals living with a high-risk, complex chronic condition requiring intensive clinical oversight.

As the primary clinical contact for enrolled patients, you’ll create proactive, personalized care plans that improve outcomes, reduce fragmentation of care, and empower patients to better manage their health. You’ll collaborate closely with providers and interdisciplinary partners to ensure care is coordinated, compliant, and meaningful.

How You’ll Make a Difference

• Identify and enroll eligible patients into the PCM program and complete comprehensive initial assessments.

• Develop individualized, disease-specific care plans aligned with clinical guidelines and patient goals.

• Conduct monthly PCM interactions with accurate CMS-compliant time tracking and documentation.

• Monitor symptoms, treatment adherence, labs, and clinical changes—intervening early to prevent deterioration.

• Provide medication education, lifestyle coaching, and motivational support to improve self-management.

• Coordinate referrals, diagnostic testing, follow-up visits, and interdisciplinary communication.

• Address barriers to care including transportation, social determinants of health, and financial concerns.

• Track outcomes, engagement, and quality metrics to continuously improve chronic condition management.

• Participate in periodic call rotation and collaborate in quality improvement initiatives.

What You’ll Bring

• Current Registered Nurse (RN) license.

• Minimum 2–3 years of clinical nursing experience (chronic disease management preferred—cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, rheumatology, or similar specialties).

• Strong knowledge of chronic condition management and patient coaching strategies.

• Experience with care coordination and EMR documentation.

• Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) preferred.

• Prior experience in Principal Care Management (PCM), Chronic Care Management (CCM), Case Management, or Population Health preferred.

• Certification in care coordination or chronic disease management (e.g., RN-BC in Care Coordination & Transition Management) preferred.

• Strong clinical judgment, organizational skills, and the ability to build meaningful relationships with patients and providers.

• A proactive, compassionate spirit ready to serve your community and improve life’s journey.
