Who We Are & Why We're Different

Our company partners with nephrology practices to implement Value-Based Care (VBC). VBC prioritizes high-touch care coordination for patients with chronic illnesses like chronic kidney disease (CKD).

It is an interdisciplinary model where care is developed and perfected with the health of the patient as the primary driver of success.

For patients living with CKD, that means slowing the progression of the disease, reducing hospitalizations, and focusing on home dialysis treatment therapies and transplantation if a diagnosis of End Stage Renal Disease occurs.

Role Summary

The Licensed Clinical Social Worker will be at the forefront of this intensive, adaptive, and patient-focused model. Panoramic Health is looking for social work professionals that understand the importance of the "Quadruple Aim", where high-touch interactions between patient and healthcare provider enhance patient experience, improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and improve the work life of the provider.

This is done through assessments and care planning during remote engagements and home visits, and the results of validated measurement tools such as :

• The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) for measuring a patient's ability to self-manage their chronic illness.
• The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for identifying signs and symptoms of depression.
• The Accountable Health Communities (AHC) Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) Screening Tool for measuring patient's community resource needs as they relate to core social determinants of health.
