Nurse Practitioner, Care Transitions in Rockville, Maryland at Avail Health

Role Overview
Avail Health is launching a hospital-based Care Transitions Program supporting Medicare patients with complex medical, behavioral health, and social needs following discharge. The Nurse Practitioner, Care Transitions is the clinical anchor of the post-discharge episode - the billing provider for Avail Health's 30-day Transitional Care Management (TCM) program.

You'll deliver comprehensive post-discharge visits, primarily via virtual care, within 1–14 days of hospital discharge. Your work includes clinical assessment, medication reconciliation, risk stratification, and moderate- to high-complexity medical decision-making to support safe transitions and reduce avoidable readmissions. You'll work within a purpose-built interdisciplinary team alongside an RN Care Manager, SW Care Manager, and Care Coordinators, supported by HIE integrations and an ambient AI scribe. When patients can't be seen virtually, you'll conduct mobile in-person visits across the Montgomery County region.

This is a founding clinical role. The program infrastructure is being built around it.

• Support continuity of care for high-risk patients throughout and beyond the TCM episode, including warm handoffs into longitudinal care management programs
