• Monitoring for potential compliance concerns before they become larger issues
• Providing ongoing education and feedback to nurses and other clinical team members
• Helping new and existing team members understand documentation expectations and best practices
• Working collaboratively with clinicians to improve documentation rather than simply identifying errors
• Participating in required meetings, audits, quality initiatives, and other clinical activities
• Contributing to quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) initiatives
• Staying current with applicable home health, CMS, Medicare, and insurance requirements
• Helping develop and reinforce standardized documentation practices across the agency

• Someone who understands that excellent patient care includes having documentation that accurately reflects the care provided and supports the patient's needs
• Willing to help both new and experienced team members grow and improve
• A team player who is dependable, professional, and willing to step in wherever needed

What We Value

At Canyon Home Health, we believe compliance and quality are not simply about checking boxes. Our documentation should tell the story of the patient, support the care our clinicians are providing, and demonstrate why our services are needed.

The POC Audit Nurse will play a key role in helping our team maintain that standard.

We are looking for someone who wants to be invested in the team, invested in education, and invested in providing the highest quality care possible.

If you are a nurse who loves the details, understands home health, enjoys teaching others, and takes pride in doing things the right way, we would love to have you join our team.
