Do you want to make a difference in healthcare?

Landmark Health 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 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.

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.

Join Landmark to be part of a growing company full of purpose-driven, action-oriented, and compassionate team members working to dramatically transform healthcare for our communities.

The Transition of Care Coordinator (TOCC) is a critical member of the Landmark Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). Reporting to the Health Services Director or Manager, this role will assist with standardizing the post-acute care process by tracking and managing the market’s census and post-acute statuses for the engaged and non-engaged patients. The TOCC will also support the market leadership team, Landmark clinicians, and other members of the IDT with important operational and clinical tasks, as well as proactively outreaching to local facilities to verify patient records and care statuses. The ideal candidate will draw on their critical-thinking skills, clinical experience, and positive attitude to coordinate with and support Landmark patients and Landmark team members in a fast-paced and evolving environment.

This position is full-time (40 hours/week) Monday - Sunday. Employees are required to have flexibility to work any of our 8-hour shift schedules during our normal business hours of 8:30am – 5:00pm. It may be necessary, given the business need, to work occasional overtime.
