Digital Care Nurse (monitoring project) – general

Within Digital Care, we maximize the use of hybrid care at MUMC+: care where digital tools play a prominent role to give patients confidence and control over their own care process.

Additionally, we ensure appropriate care (the right care in the right place). We facilitate the healthcare professional in the role of coach for the patient, providing all the time and space to do so. Together, we are committed to sustainable, accessible, flexible, affordable, and future-proof care in a participatory care model.

As a Digital Care Nurse, you work at the intersection of nursing care, technology, and innovation. You can combine this job with your current nursing position. This way, you maintain your clinical expertise and physical patient contact, while simultaneously being able to contribute to new forms of hybrid care. However, it is also possible to support our team full-time.

You are involved in acute home monitoring, continuous monitoring in the hospital and chronic monitoring for patients at home. You will get the opportunity to think along and build new hybrid forms of care where the patient is central. You will join a project team for Monitoring of Digital Care and will collaborate with another Digital Care Nurse, E-docs, the Monitoring team, and other MUMC+ employees.

In the first phase, you will primarily contribute to new care processes from your nursing experience on a project basis. Afterwards, the focus will shift toward more digital patient contact and remote patient monitoring.

Your duties include, among others:

• Helping to shape and implement new care processes in various monitoring projects within the Monitoring project team.

• Contributing ideas for the design of the control room and digital nursing ward

• Contributing ideas regarding which patients are suitable for which form of monitoring and how care pathways can be designed more intelligently.

• Monitoring and interpreting vital parameters, symptoms, and patient-reported outcomes via digital monitoring platforms and the EHR.

• Clinical reasoning based on trends and signals, supported by decision support and (future) AI functionalities.

• Proactive follow-up of patients, both remotely and in the clinical setting, and timely escalation where necessary.

• Performing nursing interventions remotely, such as virtual consultations, education, coaching, and support for self-management.

• Actively contributing to implementation and innovation projects surrounding virtual nursing and hybrid care.

• Collaborating with nurses, physicians, MIT, project leaders, and other disciplines.

You work within an academic hospital where patient care, research, and education are closely interconnected. Care is increasingly organized in a hybrid manner: physical where necessary, digital where possible.

As a Digital Care Nurse, you will join a project team working around various branches of monitoring, including both acute and chronic home monitoring as well as continuous monitoring within the hospital. You will work from a control room, department, or hybrid setting and have contact with various specialties and care settings. You are part of a multidisciplinary team where nursing expertise, innovation, and technology come together.

You work exclusively regular shifts on workdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Irregular shifts, such as evening, night, and weekend shifts, are not applicable.

Depending on education and experience, the salary is at least € 3,171 and at most € 4,722 gross per month for a full-time appointment.
This salary is exclusive of holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% of your gross annual salary. 

This concerns a temporary employment contract of 1 year for an average of 18 to 36 hours per week in accordance with article 2.4.2 of the Cao umc.
