Job Description
Assure Health was founded on a simple principle: People deserve high-quality healthcare every day, not just when they are in the doctor's office. Everyday care is our company North Star.

For our patients, everyday care comes to life through our chronic disease management programs, which combine leading-edge, yet patient-friendly, technology with real, dedicated care providers. Our programs keep patients healthy, provide the peace-of-mind that comes with regular clinician contact, prevent avoidable hospitalizations, and improve outcomes at lower costs. We are partners with major health organizations and serve thousands of patients in all 50 states.

For our employees, everyday care looks like our fun and collaborative work environment, competitive salaries, and generous benefits. Join us at Assure Health and be part of our mission to improve the lives of millions of patients, families, and caregivers while transforming healthcare delivery.

We're not just a healthcare company. At Assure Health, we keep people healthy. Because we care.

The Role:

The Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) will provide specialty level endocrine/diabetes care to a defined panel of patients using advanced Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) technology while working collaboratively with a dynamic team of clinical experts. The care team is composed of Registered Nurse Care managers (RNs), CDCES/RNs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), and patient coordinators, all of whom will work simultaneously to move patients to their targeted health goals under the direction of a Lead Endocrinologist. Applying clinical expertise and knowledge of diabetes management, the CDCES will deliver remote education and care management to patients with individualized care plans set forth by the Nurse Practitioner and Endocrinologist. The CDCES will provide independent patient monitoring, outreach, education and titration of medications using approved protocols with the support of physicians and NPs.

The Culture:

We call ourselves Assurians, and we believe in taking care of our people so that they can deliver the best possible care to our patients. Assure Health is proud of our culture of transparency and collaboration. We work hard but love to build our team bond with frequent discussions about food, pets, travel, and family. With a combination of remote and in-office employees, we communicate regularly through company newsletters and dedicated Slack channels that are designed to support employee well-being and foster community.

Responsibilities:
    • Identify gaps in diabetes knowledge to address and work to fully equip the patient with skill sets needed for self care.
    • Provide full DSMT (Diabetes Self Management Training) to patients remotely by using digital tools and virtual interactive platforms over a series of visits.
    • Support and educate patients on the use of diabetes technology: including proprietary blood glucose meters, commercial continuous glucose monitors and diabetes smartphone apps.
    • Using integrated remote patient data, the CDCES will assist in medication adjustment using validated titration protocols with support from the medical provider when needed.
    • Independent judgment will be used to identify the need for modification of the current treatment plan based on glucose trends. The CDCES will then work with the medical provider to explore other interventions or escalate therapy as needed.
    • Identify SDOH (Social Determinants of Health) and apply problem solving skills to ensure optimal outcome by coordinating referrals to community resource programs, such as rehabilitation, financial assistance, behavioral health and other social services when needed.
    • Serve as a resource to answer any clinical diabetes questions from the team and provide ongoing collaborative diabetes education to both internal and external health care team members.

    • Knowledge of diabetes technology including Dexcom sensors, Libre sensors/flash readers, insulin pumps, diabetes smartphone apps, insulin calculators

    • Passion for improving patient outcomes long term

Benefits:

    • Generous PTO policy so you can take time off when you need it
    • 100% of the premium cost of healthcare for you
    • Short-term disability insurance, paid for by the company
