Optum Home & Community Care, part of the UnitedHealth Group family
of businesses, is creating something new in health care. We are
uniting industry-leading solutions to build an integrated care
model that holistically addresses an individual's physical, mental
and social needs - helping patients access and navigate care
anytime and anywhere.
As a team member of our Landmark product, we help bring home-based
medical care to complex, chronic patients. This life-changing work
helps give older adults more days at home.
We're connecting care to create a seamless health journey for
patients across care settings. Join us to start Caring. Connecting.
Growing together.
As a team member of our Landmark product, we help bring home-based
medical care to complex, chronic patients. This life-changing work
helps give older adults more days at home. We are uniting
industry-leading solutions to build an integrated care model that
holistically addresses an individual's physical, mental and social
needs - helping patients access and navigate care anytime and
anywhere.
As a Landmark Health Provider, now a part of the Optum family, you
visit your panel of patients in the comfort of their own homes. You
spend all the time needed to ensure your patients' health issues
are addressed. You create a friendly and trusting relationship with
each patient and his or her family. You have the support of a
collaborative, multidisciplinary clinical team who works in the
field with you. And you do it all at no added cost to the
patient.
Landmark is not a fee-for-service practice. We create successful
patient outcomes and high levels of satisfaction for our patients.
As a result, our clinical teams can spend quality time caring for a
smaller number of patients.
Primary Responsibilities:
* Manage chronic illnesses in a complex elderly population with
multimorbid conditions focused on wellness, avoiding unnecessary
hospitalizations and ER visits, providing patient education about
disease processes, improving overall quality of care, and
increasing patient satisfaction in the healthcare system
* Document timely with an added focus on closing HEDIS quality gap
measures and recapturing HCCs
* Engage new patients enrolling in the program with a comprehensive
geriatric focused initial assessment that includes functional eval,
social and safety assessments, cognitive screening, and mental
health assessments and more
* Triage, diagnose, and treat patients on an urgent basis in home
with an array of equipment and medications
* Order and interpret appropriate tests including x-rays, labs, and
EKGs to diagnose, prescribe and treat within the provider's scope
of practice and consistent with the standards of care
* Start treatment in the home at the point of care
* Collaborate with patient's PCP and specialists as needed
By observing your patients in their homes, you will gain valuable
insights into aspects of their lives - sometimes subtle, but always
important - that otherwise may never be revealed in a traditional
care setting. You will have the resources of our custom electronic
medical records (EMR) program, comprehensive mobile medical
technology system, and dedicated technical support department.
