The CHW may be based in Dayton, Columbus, OR Toledo.

The ConcertoCare Community Health Worker (CHW) serves as a key member of a multidisciplinary care team in an integrated care setting, addressing the needs of our most medically and socially complex patients. Our care teams work in concert to bring close attention to patient's social determinants of health needs and maintain an intense focus on engaging patients and caregivers in their care. Community Health Workers employ patient activation strategies to support patient engagement, patient education and coaching, and to facilitate access to, and care navigation of, systems targeted at improving health outcomes.

  • Maintain up-to-date community resource inventory to support timely and efficient connection to resources
  • Employ creative and adaptive strategies to support patients with health literacy needs while simultaneously coaching patients and caregivers to develop advocacy skills when engaging with systems of care
  • Perform home safety assessments to address barriers to patients remaining independent in their homes and other community residential settings
  • Demonstrate ability to engage patients in care by persistently forging trusting relationships through effective rapport building and use of evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing
  • Coach patients on problem-solving, self-care, and self-management to close care gaps and to teach skills for health promotion and prevention
  • Partner with patients and caregivers to address barriers that get in the way of adopting a healthier lifestyle (i.e., smoking cessation, weight loss)
  • Use digital tools such as a web-based resource finder to assist patients in improving health outcomes, supporting patient access, learning, and movement toward greater care management independence
  • Assist patients in accessing health-related services through activities such as appointment scheduling, transportation coordination, and assistance with completing applications for resources,
  • Document patient encounters, referral activities, and other pertinent information in electronic health records ensuring all encounter notes are completed and finalized per company policy
  • Other duties as assigned, including activities such as assisted telehealth and patient outreach and engagement in partnership with the market and care team
Requirements:
  • HS Diploma/GED Required; will consider candidates with lived experience
  • Prior healthcare experience preferred

  • Strong problem-solving and organizational skills
  • Geriatric care experience is highly desired
