Patient Care Technician SNF

RTI Renal Treatment Centers - Illinois, Inc.
Kankakee Cty
Full-time

581 William R Latham Sr DrSte 104, Bourbonnais, Illinois, 60914-2439, United States of America

3 days per week, no on-call

Dialysis Experience Required

The CCHT will work in a den on-site at the Skilled Nursing Facility.

MUST BE CCHT CERTIFIED FOR THIS ROLE

Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week placing a significant burden on patients and adding significant avoidable costs to the health care system.

DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the Village.

What you can expect :

In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track.

PCTs will work in conjunction with dialysis RNs to provide dialysis care. The CCHT may be asked to help support other SNF dialysis dens in the region as needed.

Patient Care : Spending the majority of your day in direct one-on-one patient care to provide safe, comfortable and hygienic dialysis treatment.

Complexity : DSD Dialysis care is a complex but fulfilling service line. Meeting and / or exceeding clinical outcomes are the goals and multitasking is an expectation to meet the needs of the service, the patients and our SNF partners.

Autonomy and Critical Thinking : Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times.

You use your mind constantly. You apply your "core" skills to monitor patients before, during and after dialysis treatment including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup.

There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.
