Position Overview:

MIST Registered Nurse (RN) - Position Summary
The Multidisciplinary Inbasket Support Team (MIST) Registered Nurse is a highly skilled ambulatory care nurse who provides comprehensive, remote clinical support to primary care patients and providers across Sutter Health. Working entirely in a virtual environment, MIST RNs deliver telephonic and electronic care using Epic and My Health Online (MHO), serving as an extension of primary care practices while ensuring patients receive timely, safe, and evidence-based care.
MIST RNs assess patient symptoms and concerns through telephone encounters and secure electronic messaging, utilizing the nursing process, clinical judgment, physician collaboration, and Sutter Health-approved telephone triage guidelines and protocols to determine the appropriate level of care, provider, and timing for each patient's needs. They play a critical role in improving patient access by directing patients to the right care, with the right provider, at the right time.
In addition to telephone triage, MIST RNs manage electronic in-basket messages, coordinate care across ambulatory and acute care settings, facilitate prescription renewal workflows in collaboration with licensed providers, identify appropriate hospital and community resources, coordinate referrals and consultations, and perform nursing follow-up to support continuity of care and positive patient outcomes.
As integral members of the primary care team, MIST RNs partner closely with physicians, advanced practice providers, clinic staff, and interdisciplinary teams to manage patient communications within the electronic medical record, optimize workflow efficiency, and ensure high-quality, patient-centered care. Success in this role requires strong clinical assessment skills, exceptional communication, independent decision-making, proficiency in Epic, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fully remote work environment while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.
