Job description
Department: PHSO
Shift: Day
Working Hours: Monday - Friday 8 am - 5 pm
Summary:
The Palliative Care Navigator is a clinical navigator within the Population Health Services Organization, accountable to the ACO. The Navigator proactively identifies ACO-attributed patients on a readmission trajectory and delivers upstream palliative navigation - goals-of-care conversations, advance care planning, and coordinated transitions - for readmitted patients, rather than waiting for an inpatient palliative consult to be initiated. Operating under assigned clinical direction and PHSO operational supervision, the Navigator serves as a single, continuous point of contact across inpatient, outpatient, and post-acute settings to ensure palliative and hospice needs are recognized and addressed in a timely manner.
