Registered Nurse - Consultative Medicine - RN
The RN in this position collaborates with physicians, residents, mid-level providers, RNs, LPNs, and other allied health staff members to provide care in a team approach for patients traveling from the region, across the nation, or internationally to Mayo Rochester. Patients in this practice are either self-referred, or referred by a local provider for a consultative work up of multiple undifferentiated symptoms. Patients complete an outpatient evaluation with an internist from GIM as the coordinating provider of the episode, then return to their local care teams for longitudinal care.
The RN in this role collaborates with the multidisciplinary team to coordinate care for destination medical center patients. In addition, the RN provides care to patients utilizing face to face visits as well as non-visit care (telephonic and through online services). The RN is pivotal in coordinating care (including monitoring labs, consults, and tests), adjusting the plan of care, and triaging patient requests. Patient visits include, but are not limited to: review of patient health issues, personalized education, medication review/administration, and care planning. Non-visit care coordination consists of telephone triage, medical record review, pre-visit planning, and assessing symptom-based patient concerns. The RN collaborates daily with providers, licensed practical nurses, desk operations specialists, patient appointment service specialists, and medical secretaries.
