Job description

Job Description:

Hybrid position combining field-based and remote work. Expected work allocation is approximately 70% in the field and 30% remote; actual allocation may vary based on business, operational, and member care needs. The Resource RN provides nursing support to members with low‑acuity, short‑term clinical needs. This role does not carry an assigned member panel; instead, the Resource RN works from a task-based queue to address targeted clinical needs. Responsibilities include providing clinical education, delivering focused interventions, and supporting care transitions following inpatient or emergency department visits. Care is delivered virtually and in person, as appropriate. The Resource RN also conducts chart reviews and evaluates clinical data to identify members who may require higher levels of care management or short‑term clinical intervention.

Key Responsibilities

• Outreach to members while admitted inpatient or after inpatient or emergency department discharge to conduct focused transitions of care assessments.
• Outreach to case managers for members that are admitted inpatient to assist with discharge planning as needed.
• Complete self‑efficacy and condition‑specific screeners including behavioral health tools like PHQ‑9, GAD‑7, AUDIT, or DAST‑10, to identify members requiring behavioral health programming.
• Conduct in‑person clinical exams if appropriate and collaborate with care team members to determine if a different intensity program placement is needed.
• Conduct comprehensive medication reconciliation and address contracted and company‑prioritized quality gaps, ensuring proper chart documentation and appropriate ICD or CPT coding as evidence of gap closure.
• Triage referrals from the Population Health Partner for short term clinical interventions and chronic disease management.
• Meet members in various community settings such as homes, shelters, or hospitals, serving as an extender of care team provider and performing tasks like administering injections, monitoring vital signs, and in‑home medication reconciliation.
• Review charts and data signals for potential transition to higher level of complex care management.
• Facilitate follow ups and hand offs to care team as needed.
• Utilize care facilitation, electronic health records, and scheduling platforms to collect data, document member interactions, organize information, track tasks, and communicate effectively with the team, members, and community resources.

Success Metrics

• Timely outreach to members and hospital case managers for transitions of care support.
• Completion of focused transitions of care assessments, ensuring accurate medication reconciliation and follow up visits are scheduled.
• Identification and timely escalation of members requiring higher‑intensity programs or behavioral health interventions.
• Completion of assigned queue tasks within established timelines.
• Efficient management of multiple short‑term clinical assignments without compromising quality.
• Effective communication and collaboration with care team members, Population Health Partners, and community providers.

Cityblock Health is the first tech‑driven provider for communities with complex needs—bringing better care to where it’s needed most, block by block.

Founded in 2017 on the premise that “health is local” and based in Brooklyn, we are backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country. Our mission is to improve the health of underserved communities. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower‑income Medicare beneficiaries, and we meet our members where they are, bringing care into the home and neighborhoods through our community‑based care teams and Virtual Care offerings.

In close collaboration with community‑based organizations, local providers, and leading health plans, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members.

Equipped with world‑class, custom care delivery technology, we deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services to deliver a radically better experience of care for every member and community we serve. Over the next year, we’ll grow quickly to bring better care to many more members and their communities. To do this, we need people who, like us, believe that everyone should have good care for what matters to them, in their community.

Our work is grounded in a belief in the power of a diverse community. To close gaps in care and advance equity in the communities we serve, we have to start with making our own team diverse and inclusive. Our ways of working are characterized by creativity, collaboration, and mutual learning that comes from bringing together a community from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to ensure that every person on the Cityblock team, and every Cityblock member, feels supported and included as a part of our community.
