Imagine building a better healthcare journey for patients with cancer, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way.
At Thyme Care, we share a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience.
As a Thyme Care Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner, you will be a critical member of the clinical team caring for our members with serious illness. You will have three primary responsibilities:
See members for specialty palliative care outpatient appointments via video visits as part of an interdisciplinary team consisting of our Community Health Workers, Oncology Nurses, Social Worker, and Palliative Medicine Physician.
Provide oversight and direction of interdisciplinary case conferences for our members with advanced serious illness, in which individualized care plans for our members are created and monitored by our team of Community Health Workers and Oncology Nurses.
Provide education about palliative care to our team of Community Health Workers and Oncology Nurses, focusing on the outpatient management of cancer-related symptoms, serious illness communication skills, and advance care planning.
Within your first three months, you will:
Complete training and be up to speed on Thyme Care's systems, tools, technology, partners, and clinical expectations.
Complete virtual palliative care outpatient visits for our members with the highest degree of clinical rigor.
Lead interdisciplinary case conferences for members with advanced serious illness, guiding our team of community health workers and oncology nurse navigators in the creation of evidence-based, member-centered care plans.
Become the go-to person for our oncology nurse navigators and community health workers when they are working with a member who has advanced serious illness.
Follow policies and procedures, escalation pathways, communications best practices, and documentation standards.
To be successful in this role, you should be people-first, with experience as a nurse practitioner, preferably in palliative care. You should be organized, an effective listener and communicator, and comfortable with ambiguity. You should also be willing to learn new technologies and identify priorities and take action.
