Housed in the highly- regarded VCU Health’s Continuum Integration Center, in north Richmond, this exciting opportunity offers innovation and professional growth. Come join an extraordinary team playing a vital part of shaping the future of healthcare!
VCU’s Continuum Integration Center (CIC) vision statement is to be a world-class, virtually enabled 24/7 care coordination command center that employs a team of experts who manage a holistic patient experience of care ensuring the best outcome for each individual and the most efficient use of resources for the healthcare system. Our Hospital at Home program is one of our most innovative and most rapidly growing programs within the CIC that leverages both clinical and technological expertise to provide the ultimate holistic approach to inpatient care.
Combining both acute care and home care, the Hospital at Home Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) role is a unique, exciting, and truly holistic experience that provides direct inpatient level of care in the comfort of the patient’s own home. Hospital at Home programs are gaining momentum nationwide, because of the benefits for patients and health systems, including increased patient satisfaction, improved patient outcomes, better performance on value-based metrics and relieving facility capacity constraints. The model operates with a patient-centric focus and a comprehensive, team-based, outcomes-motivated approach to care using population health principles to keep patients healthy.
The CMA supports our nursing and medic visiting team during Hospital at Home visits through a paired visit model. The CMA is paired with a nurse or medic during their shift to complete Hospital at Home visits. These visits include management of the patient according to the medical and nursing care plan. Tasks that the CMA may complete include but are not limited to: Checking vital signs, reinforcing education on how to use the in-home technology for Hospital at Home, helping patients with ADLs, phlebotomy, and 12 lead EKG.
The CMA also supports the virtual command center when not out in the field doing home visits with such tasks as screening phone calls, stock/inventory of medical supplies, equipment, and food/nutritional items, and completing outreach to potential remote patient monitoring patients. Our transitional remote patient monitoring program provides nursing, case management, and provider support for patients graduating from the Hospital at Home program or discharging from a VCUHS hospital.
