Job Description

A bit more about this role: 

This position is a unique opportunity for an experienced nurse practitioner (APRN) with a compassionate, entrepreneurial approach to deliver exceptional preventive cardiovascular care to members with hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk.

In this role you will be working in a next generation virtual specialty clinic that dramatically expands access to care for America's most vulnerable seniors. The clinic focuses on optimizing hypertension management and reducing cardiovascular risk for Devoted Health members. You will utilize and help improve our home-grown technology and electronic health information platform to carry out virtual visits. On a day-to-day basis you will work closely with our virtual specialty clinic team members at Devoted Medical including physicians and other APRNs as well as medical assistants, clinical guides (health coaches), clinical pharmacists, and social workers. You will be a key member of our interprofessional team.

The Hypertension clinic is one of several of Devoted's virtual specialty care programs that are designed as "micro centers of excellence" that deliver highly tailored, specialized care to patients with specific chronic conditions. 

Responsibilities will include:

• Conduct focused and thorough assessments of patients with hypertension through virtual consultations including ordering diagnostics as needed, interpreting labs and imaging data, and developing a treatment plan in collaboration with the specialty care clinic team. 

• Formulate accurate diagnoses and develop individualized treatment plans for patients, including medication management, lifestyle modifications, and monitoring recommendations.

• Mitigate the risk of cardiovascular disease by proactively initiating and managing statin therapy in persons with diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease

• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary care team—including primary care providers, specialists, and Devoted team members such as pharmacy, social work, and health coaches—as well as family members and caregivers to coordinate holistic, patient-centered care, ensure continuity, and implement a collaborative care plan.

• Serve as the clinical advisor and provide clinical escalation support for the speciality clinic staff and other teams during business hours.

• Participate in regular panel review discussions to offer advice and provide guidance around medical management.

• Utilize our home grown electronic health information system for visits while also providing feedback on how to improve the interface. 

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date patient medical records, ensuring compliance with relevant legal and ethical guidelines.

• Participate in quality improvement initiatives and ongoing professional development to stay current on best practices and advancements in hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk reduction.

• Adhere to all relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards, including patient privacy and telehealth regulations.

Attributes to success:

• Experienced nurse practitioner with a strong clinical foundation in hypertension management and primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), including disease processes, evidence-based treatment strategies, medication management, and lifestyle modification.

• You are influential with patients to promote positive health outcomes and reduce clinical inertia 

• You stay current on the latest clinical practice guidelines and are an expert in your field

• You are experienced working on an interprofessional team and enjoy team-based care.

• You have great clinical and non-clinical judgment and provide thorough patient care. 

• You are deeply empathetic and humanistic, and want to go the last mile for your patients.

• You thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment where agility and collaboration are essential, and continuous improvement happens rapidly.

• You enjoy staying at the forefront of innovation, actively adopting new technologies and taking pride in contributing to improvements that benefit both clinicians and patients.

• You learn from every experience and are not afraid to fail - that's how you're wired.

• Finally and most importantly, you have a passion for making healthcare better, solving complex problems, and supporting the delivery of healthcare that we would want for our own family members.

Desired skills and experience:

• APRN with 5 or more years working in outpatient clinical practice ideally with experience in management of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 

• Minimum of 2 years of experience concentrated in primary care or a subspecialty with heavy focus on hypertension and lipid management required (e.g., cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology, primary care). 

• Proficiency in using telehealth technology and electronic health records (EHR).

• Virtual care experience is preferred along with a strong desire to continue practicing clinical nursing and performing virtual visits - you believe in the mission of bringing care to where the patient lives. 

• An understanding of managed care is a plus, including how to appropriately assess STARS/HEDIS measures, code clinical comorbidities, and identify clinical care gaps. 

• Multi-state licensure is required, along with the ability and willingness to obtain and maintain additional licenses as needed. Devoted currently operates in 29 states and covers all licensing costs.

Licensure and Certification:

• Master's or Doctoral degree in Nursing with a specialization in primary care or cardiovascular care.
