• Perform initial TOC visits, including comprehensive post-discharge assessment of patients’ medical conditions, medications, functional status, and psychosocial needs.
• Complete a post-discharge medication reconciliation.
• Place appropriate orders (prescriptions, labs, imaging, referrals, home health, DME).
• Provide appropriate disease education and communicate contingency plans for worsening symptoms.
• Perform acute symptom TOC / virtual urgent care visits focused on addressing a patient’s acute need or new symptom.
• Participate in interdisciplinary TOC rounds to discuss patients at highest risk of readmission.
• Work in an interdisciplinary fashion with RNs, LPNs, and clinical coordinators.
• Assist with the clinical education of the overall team.

• Utilize our home-grown electronic health information system for visits while providing feedback on how to improve the interface.
