Duties
VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package: VA Nurse Total Rewards

It involves working across multiple care settings, to include accessing health care providers and other services in the community to help patients receive the care they need and want without unnecessary duplication of services or avoidable inconvenience.

The PACT RN Care Manager participates in population management, a data-driven process for proactively defining a cohort of patient who might benefit from a health care plan or reaching out to individual patients in the cohort to offer the right intervention at the right time, rather than waiting for the patient to self-identify and seek out health care.
