Coordinating Nurse for Home Monitoring

• You will be given the space to further shape and expand home monitoring
• You combine patient care with projects and healthcare innovation
• You can actually realize your ideas for better care
• You work closely with medical specialists and other disciplines
• You make a direct difference for patients receiving care at home

As a Coordinating Nurse for Home Monitoring, you combine direct patient care with a role that transcends the immediate team. You are one of the pioneers in the further development of home monitoring, and alongside your patient-related activities, you hold a pivotal role in projects, care pathways, and innovation.

A large part of your time is spent monitoring and guiding patients remotely. You analyze and interpret incoming, sometimes complex, health data. With your clinical eye and specialist nursing knowledge, you perform remote triage, determine urgency, and implement the correct intervention. You discuss your findings with the nurse practitioner or physician and advise, where necessary, on appropriate follow-up steps or adjustments in the treatment and/or medication policy. You coach patients and their loved ones in performing measurements and provide clear explanations about their treatment and health. In this way, you help patients to take control themselves and contribute to them being able to stay at home longer or return home sooner after admission.

Additionally, you have a role that transcends the team in coordinating and further developing digital and hybrid care pathways. You identify structural bottlenecks, initiate improvements, and guide the implementation of new working methods and technology within the team. During the development of new care pathways, you serve as an important substantive point of contact from the Medical Service Center. You contribute ideas regarding protocols, the design of digital care processes, and their translation into daily practice. You support colleagues with complex cases and help them master new working methods and care pathways. You also contribute to the quality and safety of home monitoring by evaluating protocols and work processes, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing those improvements. You will have the opportunity to follow the Luscii-builders training, so that you can develop new home monitoring trajectories in the app yourself. You work intensively with medical specialists, fellow nurses, and other disciplines to structurally improve remote care and optimally integrate it into existing care pathways.

Working hours

You work from Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 17:00. Additionally, in a full-time employment, you work approximately two weekend days per month. We work with self-scheduling, which gives you influence over your schedule within the framework of the team.

In this multidisciplinary team, you work closely with (coordinating) nurses, a team leader, a medical assistant, and an administrative employee. Together, you develop, implement, and improve home monitoring trajectories for various conditions. In doing so, you have a lot of contact with the project leaders of the Healthcare Transformation program, so that your practical experience directly influences how remote care further develops. You also regularly work together with Zorg bij Jou. Your permanent location is Utrecht; after a successful onboarding period, you can also perform part of your work from home.

In complex situations, you know when to coordinate with the nurse practitioner or physician.
