Join us in transforming healthcare! Landmark Health, not a part of
the Optum family, was created to transform how healthcare is
delivered to the most medically vulnerable members in our
community. Our medical group provides home-based medical care to
chronically ill patients, many of whom are frail, elderly, and
ill-equipped to navigate our overwhelming healthcare system.
Because many of our patients are frail and elderly, we deliver care
primarily in the comfort of their home. Our Program is also offered
to eligible patients at no incremental financial cost to them. We
are not a fee-for-service practice; we benefit economically only if
we deliver high-quality patient outcomes and satisfaction. As a
result, our clinical teams can spend quality-time caring for a
smaller number of patients, giving all patients the space, respect,
compassion and care they deserve.
Our model is finding success throughout the country; we are now the
nation's largest risk-based, in-home medical group, with operations
in numerous markets and states across the country.
At Landmark, our interdisciplinary teams collaboratively manage our
complex patient panels. These teams are led by Physicians, Nurse
Practitioners, and Physician Assistants, with supporting care
provided by RN Nurse Care Managers, Social Workers, Pharmacists,
Behavioral Health, and other employed team members.
The Urgentivist primarily provides medical care and management to
members served by the Landmark program who request urgent visits to
the NCM on call. This position prescribes appropriate diagnostics
and interventions to avoid unnecessary transfers and acute
admissions, and communicates and collaborates with the assigned
Landmark primary provider and interdisciplinary team in achieving
patient's care goals.
