Iris Healthcare, powered by Aledade, Inc. is looking for a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) or Registered Nurse (RN) with a background in Advance Care Planning (ACP)/End-of-Life Care, to join our growing team. The Comprehensive Advance Care Planning (CACP) program focuses on empowering members through advance care planning. Advance care planning is defined as a process that supports individuals in understanding, and sharing their values, goals and preferences for future medical care. These care decisions are then formally documented within an Advance Directive; a forward-thinking legal document that empowers individuals, their loved ones and their care teams to make the best advance care planning decisions moving forward.
Our interdisciplinary team walks the member through every step of the advance care planning process, from exploration of values through distribution and revision of necessary documents. The primary role of the Facilitator is to guide members through this conversation and document their preferences. These conversations include providing education on the patient’s primary medical condition and on such medical interventions as feeding tubes, ventilation, and CPR. Member encounters are conducted remotely via telephone.
Iris Healthcare is an Austin-based company powered by Aledade Inc, offering an advanced care planning program by phone and video for people facing serious medical conditions. Learn more about us and our mission at www.irishealthcare.com. We help individuals to think through what kind of medical care they want or don’t want if they were ever unable to speak for themselves. We then help them document these wishes in advance care planning documents (such as living wills, medical power of attorney forms, or advance directives).
