What is a PACT RN?

PACT RNs are Registered Nurses who work within the Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model, primarily in Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare systems. Their role focuses on providing coordinated, patient-centered care to veterans as part of an interdisciplinary team that may also include physicians, social workers, and other healthcare professionals. PACT RNs are responsible for managing chronic conditions, coordinating care, educating patients, and ensuring timely access to services. Their goal is to improve health outcomes through proactive, continuous, and comprehensive care.
