Registered Nurse (RN) – Telemedicine & Chronic Disease Care Specialist

Ansible Health is a virtual multi-specialty medical group that unites physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and tech experts from top institutions like Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Google, and Amazon to revolutionize care for chronic disease patients. Backed by Bessemer, First Round Capital, AlleyCorp, Breyer Capital, and Inflect Capital, Ansible Health is a Series A startup partnering with leading healthcare systems nationwide. Their mission is to genuinely improve patient outcomes, not just optimize metrics.

What is the Role?

You will be part of a team led by a nurse practitioner, consisting of respiratory therapists and registered nurses, to provide direct care via telemedicine to patients suffering from advanced chronic lung and heart disease. The patient population is elderly, medically complex, frequently hospitalized, and often burdened by psychosocial challenges.

Key responsibilities include:

• Performing telemedicine visits to provide education specific to patients' conditions.
• Leading exercise sessions with patients over telehealth.
• Assessing and triaging adult outpatients with multiple chronic medical conditions, with an emphasis on lung disease and heart failure.
• Coordinating care with primary care providers, specialists, and external care agencies.
• Advocating for patients experiencing major social stressors by activating community resources for access to medications, transportation, healthy nutrition, and safe housing.
• Serving as the continuous point of contact for patients and families across the entire care spectrum, from transitional post-acute care to advanced care planning.
• Engaging with an interdisciplinary team of physicians, engineers, designers, and other care team members to optimize patient care.

This versatile role requires blending aspects of medical care, education, case management, social work, marketing, and advocacy. Ansible Health believes in nurturing transferable skills within one individual rather than creating silos of expertise.

Responsibilities

You will join a diverse, talented, and meritocratic team of clinicians who are excited about working at the frontier of healthcare. This role involves a steep learning curve and a degree of organized chaos, as changing the culture of healthcare is challenging.

You will bring your energy, wisdom, and passion for learning, while Ansible Health will provide intensive mentorship to help you grow your skills and become the best clinician possible.
