Licensure: Current, full, active, and unrestricted license to practice as a Registered Nurse.
Typical patient caseload: There are approximately 100 total tracked patients on our case management list, but they have very intermittent needs (many only require something once every few months)
Daily duties and work flow: Workload can vary from one acute issue to multiple small issues that you are working through (referrals, insurance, care coordination). We would want prioritization of any urgent issues, so that might mean holding off on non-urgent things for a few days.
What does the care team look like, and what kind of support is available from colleagues, providers, and management?
Kirtland only has one case manager position, but the Medical Management team that you would be a part of has two disease manager nurses, a social worker, a special needs technician, a nurse utilization manager, and one clinic nurse supervisor. Most people on the team have years of experience and all are absolutely willing to help. Each primary care clinic within the Medical Group also has several nurses. Our team works very well together and has been covering the absent nurse manager position for several months. Our entire Medical Group is happy to help ease you into the role and teach you about military-specific concerns, TRICARE, and our experience with the network.
Specific schedule: The Medical Group is open from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday-Friday. We are typically closed on Holidays and have half-days on Air Force Family Days, although you should check with your specific contract about work requirements during those times.
