Position Description: The Rapid Response Nurse supports effective transitions from acute to home care for the following target population: medically complex / fragile children, to ensure communication and linkages with
primary care, and provide timely and effective rapid response homecare. The Rapid Response nurse provides an in-home nursing visit within 24 hours from hospital discharge for high needs children. During this visit, the RN will confirm the patient hospital discharge care plan, complete a nursing physical assessment, and communicate the importance of connection to primary care to avoid re-hospitalization. Part of the assessment includes performing medication reconciliation and assessing medication management for the patient and family. The nurse will also complete teaching with the patient, family and caregivers related to their disease and/or chronic illness regarding how to manage their symptoms and when to seek medical attention. The nurse will collaborate with other members of the interdisciplinary team including care coordinators; hospital based nurse practitioners, pharmacists and contracted service providers.
