What are some typical challenges an RN Care Coach might face when coordinating care across multiple providers?

As an RN Care Coach, one common challenge is ensuring effective communication among various healthcare providers, patients, and family members to create a seamless care plan. It can be difficult to keep all parties updated, especially when patients have complex or chronic conditions requiring input from several specialists. Additionally, navigating different electronic health record systems and aligning on treatment goals can take time and attention to detail. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills are crucial for overcoming these hurdles and delivering high-quality, coordinated care.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an RN Care Coach, and why are they important?

To excel as an RN Care Coach, you need a valid RN license, strong clinical assessment abilities, and experience in care coordination or case management. Familiarity with care management software, electronic health records (EHRs), and telehealth platforms is typically required. Outstanding communication, motivational interviewing, and problem-solving skills help build rapport with patients and guide them toward healthier behaviors. These skills are essential for delivering effective patient education, supporting chronic disease management, and improving health outcomes.

Job description

This is a remote role. CircleLink Health is looking for passionate, tech savvy registered nurses to work remotely and serve patients enrolled in Medicare's Chronic Care Management Program. In this part time role (about 20-25 hrs. per week), an RN Care Coach will be assigned a group of patients that they will be following and calling each month. In these monthly calls you will provide education, coordinate care, close preventive care gaps, and coach on strategies for self-management to keep them out of the hospital.
This Role Requires Precision, Discipline, and Accountability
The Care Manager role is not a step back from bedside nursing - it's a step into a more complex, structured, and performance-driven environment. To succeed, you must bring more than clinical knowledge:
Excellent documentation skills - Your charting must be complete, timely, and accurate.
Strong time management - Case tasks must be prioritized and closed on schedule.
Ownership of outcomes - Each case is closely tracked for quality, compliance, and effectiveness.
Expectations are high, and performance is regularly reviewed. This is not a role where details can be missed or timelines pushed - we need professionals who take initiative, stay organized, and consistently deliver.
If you're ready for a challenging, fast-paced environment where your work is held to high standards and makes a real difference, we encourage you to apply.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Utilize our specialized care management software to call Medicare patients with 2 or more chronic conditions (Diabetes, CHF, Chronic Pain, COPD, etc.) on a monthly basis
  • Build and maintain rapport with patients to help coach them to improved health through SMART goals and education on self-management strategies
  • Implement and improve the Plan of Care by updating medications, appointments due, biometrics, symptoms, and interventions made
  • Connect the patient with community resources as needed, including transportation, personal care needs, prescription/DME assistance, social services, etc.
  • Conduct Transitional Care Management activities to high risk patients discharged from the hospital and the ER to reduce unnecessary readmissions.
  • Close care gaps by encouraging and assisting with preventive care measures, i.e. annual well visits, vaccines, cancer screens, follow-up/specialist appointments, etc.

Requirements
  • Fluent in English
  • Self-directed, able to work independently with little supervision while meeting performance metrics
  • Passion for nursing and improving patient outcomes
  • Good with technology and eager to learn and use new software
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills
  • Timely communication is essential, and nurses are expected to respond to all messages and emails within 24-48 hours.
  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills

Education and Experience:
  • Current, unrestricted Compact License / multistate RN license
  • Proficiency with electronic health records and web-based applications
  • 3+ years' experience as a Registered Nurse

Preferred Education and Experience, but not required:
  • Spanish fluency
  • Case Management or Chronic Disease Management experience highly preferred
  • Certified Diabetes Educator
  • Experience with Motivational Interviewing or other behavior change communication techniques

Scheduling and Other Requirements
  • RN needs a STRONG internet-connected computer
  • Minimum of 20 hours of availability per week required
  • You will commit to your own schedule using our software.
  • This is a 1099 contract position with no end date. Care coaches are responsible for their own taxes and insurance.

Benefits
Compensation:
RN Care Coach compensation is paid at the rate of $15.00 for the first 20-minute increment (20-min milestone), $12 for the second 20-minute increment (40-min milestone), and$11.50 for the 3rd 20-minute increment (60-min milestone).
A clinical encounter occurs after two criteria are met: 1/ A successful interactive clinical call with the patient or their caregiver. 2/ A 20-min, or 40-min, or 60-min milestone is met on the patient's chart. Example pay scenarios, but not limited to:
  • Two 20-min successful calls with 2 different patients pays $30 for the two 20-min visits. ($15+$15=$30)
  • A 40-min encounter with the same patient pays $27. ($15+$12=$27).
  • A 60-min encounter with the same patient pays $38.50. ($15+$12+$11.50=$38.50)

Pay Timing:
Monthly via direct deposit, 40 days after the last day of the month of service. This is due to the time it takes Medicare to process reimbursements. Your pay after the first check will be 30 days from the end of the previous month.
