Part-Time Remote Nurse Practitioner

Across the United States, 6 in 10 adults – or 133 million Americans, live with one or more chronic conditions. Chronic disease is today’s leading cause of death and disability in the US and the leading driver of the nation’s $4.1 trillion in annual healthcare costs. Patients who live with chronic conditions require far more touch points than our primary care physicians have time to deliver and the result is countless health emergencies and costly ER visits that could be prevented. Workforce shortages and lack of technologies make it difficult to give patients the attention they need. 

At Cadence, our mission is to deliver life-changing care to over one million patients living with chronic disease by the end of the decade. We mitigate the impact of chronic disease by using technology and a world-class clinical team to remotely monitor, manage, and support patients at home. Together with our growing network of health system partners, we deliver guideline-directed care to tens of thousands of patients today while producing best-in-class clinical outcomes. 

The Cadence Health team seeks a remote-based Part Time Nurse Practitioner to serve as the point person to help patients navigate their remote care journey. Our Nurse Practitioners are responsible for appropriately triaging patients based on vitals, and managing treatment plans and medications in collaboration with the patient’s physician/ provider. NPs are expected to function within the role as outlined in the job description.
