  • Assess patient appropriateness for home infusion therapy, including safety of the home environment, availability of caregiver support, and willingness of patient and/or caregivers to become as independent in therapy administration and monitoring of response to therapy as possible.
  • Obtain and document patient's medical history at the start of care and ongoing, particularly as related to the diagnosis being treated with the prescribed infusion therapy.
  • Complete all required clinical documentation thoroughly and timely, including nursing plans of care (POC), plans of treatment (POT), visit notes, clinical summaries, medication profiles, discharge summaries, and any updates provided to members of the patient's care team, as well as obtaining patient and/or caregiver signatures on relevant consents and required forms.
  • Participate in case conferences as needed to comprehensively plan patient care with the multi-disciplinary care team.
  • Provide skilled care to patients of varying ages and medical conditions, as outlined in the plan of care and in accordance with physician orders and the plan of treatment.
  • Establish, secure, and maintain vascular access devices as prescribed, including (but not limited to) peripheral IV (PIV) placement, PICC, and tunneled central venous catheter dressing changes, and implanted port access.
  • Administer medications as prescribed, performing therapy-specific clinical assessments in accordance with the Company's policies, procedures, and protocols, which may include frequent vital sign monitoring, management of acute infusion reactions, monitoring of side effects, and procurement of laboratory specimens.
  • Communicate observations of patient response to therapy and overall physical assessment/condition with members of the care team in a timely manner, which may include the nursing supervisor, dispensing pharmacist, registered dietitian, and licensed prescriber, among others.
  • Establish collaborative relationships with home health agencies (HHAs) delivering services on behalf of or in conjunction with the Company, providing agency education and support as requested by the nursing supervisor.
  • Maintain a comprehensive knowledge base of infusion therapies administered in the home and ambulatory infusion center, utilizing Company policies, procedures, and protocols in addition to all available training resources to ensure understanding of each therapy before initiating treatment.
  • Maintain current nursing licensure in all states in which patients are serviced, as required by the respective State Boards of Nursing and/or Department of Health.
  • Comply with all State and Federal regulations and laws, including employee health and safety protections mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), patient privacy and data security required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as well as all home infusion standards of practice.
  • Complete all training required upon hire and annually per policy, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification.
  • Serve as a professional representative of the Company when meeting with and/or providing education to external customers, payers, and referral sources.
  • Assist in staff orientation and training, serving as a clinical educator and resource as requested.
  • Drive personal/rental vehicle (per travel policy) in the completion of job duties, including (but not limited to) travel to the Company office, patient homes, area hospitals, physician offices, home health agency offices, and the Company's Ambulatory Infusion Suite (AIS).

As a Home Infusion RN at Optum, you will have the opportunity to work with a talented team of professionals, including pharmacists and technicians, physicians and other licensed prescribers, registered dietitians, home health agencies (HHAs), sales representatives, and others as needed to provide comprehensive care and support of patients and caregivers.
