What is a hospice triage RN?

Hospice Triage RNs are registered nurses who provide telephone-based assessment, support, and triage for hospice patients and their families, often outside of regular business hours. They assess symptoms, provide guidance on medication and care, and help determine if an in-person visit is needed. Their role is crucial in ensuring patients receive timely, appropriate care while remaining comfortable at home during end-of-life care. They also serve as a resource for hospice staff, providing clinical advice and support.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a hospice triage RN, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Hospice Triage RN, you need strong clinical assessment abilities, hospice care knowledge, and an active RN license, often with experience in end-of-life or palliative care. Familiarity with phone triage systems, electronic health records (EHRs), and symptom management protocols is typically required. Compassion, excellent communication, and critical thinking are essential soft skills for effectively supporting patients and families remotely during critical times. These skills ensure timely, sensitive, and accurate care decisions, which are vital for patient comfort and family reassurance in hospice settings.

How does a hospice triage RN manage high call volumes and prioritize patient needs during busy shifts?

Hospice Triage RNs often handle multiple patient calls simultaneously, especially during evenings, weekends, and holidays. To manage this, they utilize strong clinical judgment and established triage protocols to quickly assess the urgency of each situation, ensuring that critical needs are addressed first. Effective communication, documentation, and collaboration with on-call teams and field nurses are essential to provide timely care and support. Developing strategies for staying organized and remaining calm under pressure helps triage RNs deliver quality care even during high-demand periods.

Hospice Case Managers are vital members of our care team, providing compassionate, skilled nursing support to patients and families during end-of-life care. As a Hospice RN Case Manager, you will oversee patient care, coordinate interdisciplinary support, and ensure comfort, dignity, and quality of life for every patient you serve.

Are You a Leader in the Field?

At Newport Hospice, we don't just hire nurses; we hire Clinical Directors of the Home. We are looking for an RN Case Manager who understands that they are the "Captain of the Ship" for every patient under their care. If you are a nurse who takes pride in clinical autonomy, rigorous documentation, and total patient advocacy, we want you on our team.

The Role: Total Case Management

In this position, you are not just making visits—you are managing the entire clinical ecosystem of your patients. You are the primary point of contact for the family and the central hub for the Interdisciplinary Group (IDG).

Your Responsibilities as Case Manager:


  • The Clinical Director of Your Team:     You lead and coordinate the care provided by your MSW, Spiritual Counselor (SC), and CHHA. You are responsible for ensuring their interventions align with your overall clinical strategy.
  • Direct Physician Collaboration: You work hand-in-hand with the MD. You don’t just report symptoms; you provide clinical assessments, suggest interventions, and secure medication orders and treatment plans immediately.
  • Comprehensive Assessment: Perform full-body physical and psychosocial assessments at every visit. You are responsible for identifying changes in status before they become crises.
  • The Plan of Care (POC): You own the POC. You develop, update, and maintain a compliant, individualized plan that reflects the patient’s goals and regulatory requirements.
  • Medication Management: You are responsible for the entire medication profile, including reconciliation, pharmacy coordination, and symptom management (GIP/Continuous Care triggers).
  • IDG Leadership: You lead the discussion for your patients during IDG meetings, providing the team with clear, concise, and professional updates that meet all CMS and Title 22 standards.

Responsibilities

  • Complete comprehensive nursing assessments and develop individualized plans of care in collaboration with patients and families.
  • Provide direct hospice nursing care to maintain the highest level of comfort and quality of life.
  • Manage and update care plans as patient needs change.
  • Communicate with physicians to obtain appropriate orders and report changes in patient condition.
  • Initiate interventions and evaluate outcomes to ensure optimal symptom management.
  • Educate patients, families, and caregivers about hospice care, medications, and symptom recognition.
  • Accurately document patient care and communicate updates to the interdisciplinary team (IDG).
  • Coordinate with external service providers as needed to meet patient and family needs.
  • Ensure availability of necessary medical equipment and supplies.
  • Assign and supervise Home Health Aides, completing supervisory visits every 14 days.
  • Serve as IDG coordinator, collaborating with all team members to ensure holistic care.
  • Participate in on-call rotation to provide 24/7 hospice coverage and support.

Qualifications

  • Graduate of an accredited school of nursing.
  • Current California RN license (BSN preferred).
  • Certification in Hospice and Palliative Nursing desired.
  • Minimum of one year of professional nursing experience within the last three years, or a BSN degree.
  • Strong clinical judgment, communication, and documentation skills.
  • Compassionate and supportive attitude toward patients and families facing end-of-life care.
  • Ability to maintain patient confidentiality and professionalism at all times.
  • Proficiency in computer use and electronic medical record (EMR) documentation.
  • Reliable, well-maintained personal vehicle with valid California driver’s license, acceptable driving record, and proof of auto insurance.
  • Spanish speaking a plus!
  • Licensure: Current, unencumbered California Registered Nurse (RN) license.
  • Hospice Mastery: Minimum 1–2 years of Hospice Case Management experience is required. You must know the "Hospice Benefit" inside and out.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs) and California Title 22. Or willingness to learn!
  • Triage Skills: Expert ability to prioritize acuity and manage a field schedule effectively.
  • Documentation Excellence: Proficiency in EMR (e.g., HospiceMD, KanTime, MatrixCare) with an emphasis on "gold-standard" clinical narratives.
  • Communication: Must be able to speak professionally with physicians and compassionately with families.

Schedule & Compensation

  • Full-Time:     Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
  • On-Call: 2 weekend shifts per month (as needed)
  • Holidays: 2 shifts per year (as needed)
