Nurse Practitioner Heart Failure Disease Management

The Advanced Heart Failure Comprehensive Care Center at UCSF Health is seeking an Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to support the Heart Failure Disease Management patient population.
The team consists of highly experienced physicians, surgeons, APPs, nurses, social workers, pharmacists and many others that provide quality care for patients with heart failure, who may or may not be on the path to a heart transplant, mechanical circulatory support, surgical, or medical therapy treatment.
The APP will be responsible for coordinating the care of patients referred for heart failure evaluation and management, including referral reviews and care coordination. The APP will also see patients in clinic independently, and with physician colleagues for evaluation and management. This role will help with patients who were recently discharged from the hospital, and triage patients who may need evaluation, fluid management, or medication management to avoid hospitalization.
