What are the responsibilities and job description for the RN Homecare - West of I77 position at Cleveland Clinic?
Registered Nurse (RN) Homecare – West of I77 Service Area
Join the Cleveland Clinic team, where you will work alongside passionate caregivers and provide patient-first healthcare. Cleveland Clinic Homecare currently serves 13 counties in the greater Cleveland and Akron areas. Divided into 4 teams (East1, East2, West and South), each team is then further divided into smaller geographical areas where each caregiver is assigned to a smaller service area within the team. The caregiver in this role will serve patients in the West area (areas west of I-77). The exact area you will work in will be discussed during the interview with the hiring manager.
As a Home Health Registered Nurse, you will be responsible for providing high quality nursing care to patients in the comfort of their own homes. As an RN, you will provide assessments, complex nursing treatments, and education to help avoid readmissions to the acute care setting. After seeing patients, Home Health RNs work remotely to complete documentation, make calls, attend meetings, coordinate patient care and arrange visit schedules. Cleveland Clinic Home Care provides a generous in-depth orientation that is tailored to each individual and their experience level. This position is eligible for student loan repayment.
A caregiver in this position works Monday – Friday starting around 7:00AM/8:30AM and is required to complete 52 units every two weeks. A unit is the value of a task in the homecare compensation model/productivity standard and allows for flexibility in day-to-day responsibilities as productivity is not counted per day, but rather per week. Caregivers in this role are required to work one weekend every four weeks, two holidays per year and one on-call shift per week.
