740 Independence Circle, Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23455, United States of America

Join DaVita in Revolutionizing Care for ESKD Patients: Nurse Practitioner Opportunity in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk market.

DaVita is pioneering a new approach to holistic care for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) directly within our dialysis centers. We're seeking a highly motivated and innovative Nurse Practitioner to deliver wrap-around care chairside to a high-need population.

ESKD patients are affected by more than just kidney disease – they almost always present with a consistent constellation of cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic diseases, also referred to as CKM. It is estimated that 30-50% of patients with renal failure do not receive consistent primary care or other wrap-around support, resulting in hospitalizations and mortality. Our goal is to: 

• Equip clinicians with the resources to focus on patient care: You will have a dedicated MA/Clinical Coordinator and leverage the Epic platform.

• Deliver care to the patient: Patients receive care in the health setting they spend the most time in: the dialysis unit. No additional patient transportation is required. 

• Foster seamless coordination: Many of the key care team members, including the nephrologist and dialysis team, are in the dialysis clinic. By working out of the clinic, you work as a true interdisciplinary team.

• Address CKM and other challenges: Thinking about the patient outside of the narrow lens of kidney disease supports the patient holistically.

The Opportunity: 

As a pioneering initiative, this role requires flexibility and patience, but it also affords an opportunity to play a pivotal role in defining the program’s clinical direction. You will have direct access to top DaVita leaders to provide feedback on innovation and care redesign. It also means that, pending performance, there will be future leadership opportunities as we scale the program.

A successful candidate will thrive in an environment that is positive, innovative, highly collaborative, flexible, and patient-centered. We are looking for someone who does not simply manage disease but actively looks for opportunities to improve care delivery and outcomes.

Role Specifics

Location: You will work from a portfolio of 5-8 DaVita dialysis centers within the Virginia Beach or Norfolk market.

Hours: Typically between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. However, some days may require you to come earlier or stay later if the dialysis patient has an early or later treatment time.

Expectations:  

• Deliver care chairside during dialysis treatments, minimizing disruption to the patient’s dialysis schedule.

• Average 10-12 patient visits per day. 

• Educate patients on the program and support patient enrollment.

• Coordinate patient follow-ups to proactively address patient concerns, including coordinating care with other providers, ordering key labs, and prescribing medication. 

• Build clinical relationships and collaborate closely with nephrologists, dialysis teammates, integrated care teammates, and local PCPs and specialists. 

• Conduct annual comprehensive health evaluations. 

• Provide comprehensive CKM disease management with an emphasis on prevention and early intervention.

• Identify clinical deterioration early and intervene before conditions escalate to an emergency department visit or hospitalization.

• Support transitions of care following hospitalizations and work to prevent avoidable readmissions.

• Utilize population health principles, clinical data, and evidence-based guidelines to proactively manage high-risk patients.

 

At DaVita, we strive to be a community first and a company second.  We want all teammates to experience DaVita as "a place where I belong."  Our goal is to embed belonging into everything we do in our Village, so that it becomes part of who we are.
