- Make evidence-based recommendations for medication initiation, optimization, and titration, in collaboration with providers and nursing staff.
Patient Engagement
- Conduct telephonic medication reviews and patient education.
- Educate patients on purpose, benefits, side effects, and expectations of cardiac medications.
- Reinforce adherence and lifestyle considerations; help patients recognize red-flag symptoms.
Care Team Collaboration
- Work closely with RN Care Managers and Nurse Navigators to align medication plans with care goals.
- Communicate recommendations clearly to cardiologists and advanced practice providers.
- Participate in interdisciplinary case reviews and care planning.
- Document recommendations and patient interactions promptly in the care management platform / EMR.
Quality & Value-Based Care
- Contribute to performance on medication-related quality measures.
- Help reduce medication-related adverse events and prevent avoidable utilization.
- Apply sound clinical judgment within established clinical protocols.
