Our Community Care Record platform, Care Link, enables healthcare and community organizations to coordinate care for populations challenged with health-related social needs (HRSN). Path Assist is our tech-enabled Community Health Worker program for addressing HRSN utilizing an evidence-based, structured intervention. Our goal is simple: address individuals’ unmet HRSNs, increase health confidence, improve self-efficacy, and reduce inappropriate healthcare spend.

Role Overview:

This community-focused Registered Nurse (RN) will travel to members' homes across Massachusetts to complete in-person health assessments for a managed care health plan's dually eligible members.

• Conduct In-Person Assessments in the Field: Routinely travel to members' homes and community settings to engage directly with members and perform required assessments (e.g., Uniform Core, Functional, and Comprehensive Assessments) evaluating physical, cognitive, and functional status while respecting cultural and linguistic needs.
• Comprehensive Care Management Documentation: Document assessment findings accurately in the health plan’s care management platform (GuidingCare) following established workflows, and send prompt SOAP notes to the assigned Care Manager.
• Maintain High Quality & Timely Submissions: Submit complete documentation within 48 hours of each assessment, consistently meeting health plan quality standards and resolving any audit or review findings within two business days.
• Uphold Safety & Mandated Reporting Standards: Follow field-safety guidelines during independent home visits, elevate clinical or safety concerns appropriately, and adhere to state mandated reporter laws for abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
• Ensure Regulatory & Compliance Alignment: Adhere strictly to HIPAA privacy rules, NCQA standards, and applicable regulatory requirements while completing all ongoing mandatory training to maintain platform access.

• Location & Travel: Mobile, field-based role requiring 50%+ travel to members' homes and community settings across the assigned Massachusetts territory.
• Vehicle & Licensing: Active driver’s license, reliable personal vehicle, and proof of insurance required. Employment is contingent upon a clear driving record check and maintaining continuous auto coverage required.
