• Coordinate with case managers, social workers, and community resources to ensure continuity and comprehensiveness of patient care
• Recognize and respond appropriately to changes in patient condition, escalating concerns to physicians or supervisors when clinically indicated
• Maintain complete, accurate, and compliant clinical documentation in the electronic health records system
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives and adhere to all regulatory and accreditation requirements governing home health services

Requirements

• Active and unrestricted Registered Nurse license in the state of Texas
• Minimum of two years of clinical nursing experience, preferably in home health, medical-surgical, or a related specialty
