Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.

 

We believe that patients shouldn’t have to choose between exceptional care and the comfort of home. At Mass General Brigham Home Hospital, eligible patients receive expert, hospital-level care from trusted providers—safely and conveniently, right where they live.

Our interdisciplinary Home Hospital team delivers care to patients who meet national acute inpatient guidelines. Within this team, Nurse Navigators play a vital role by identifying and screening eligible patients in the Emergency Department and Hospital Inpatient units, coordinating admissions alongside the Home Hospital Provider, Case Manager, and Administrative Support Team.

As the first point of contact and the face of the Home Hospital program, the Nurse Navigator serves as a trusted liaison between the Emergency Department and Hospital Inpatient Care teams, patients, families, and Case Managers. This role requires a deep understanding of the program and the ability to clearly communicate its benefits, answering questions and easing concerns to ensure a smooth and confident transition.

Present and proactive in the Emergency Department and Inpatient Units, the Nurse Navigator actively participates in rounds and huddles and independently identifies candidates throughout each shift. This critical role drives the growth and success of the Home Hospital program by ensuring timely, patient-centered identification and engagement.

Are you ready to help us meet patients where they are and connect them with the right care, at the right time, in the right place? Join our team today!
