The Iora Health model of care changes everything. Will it change you?

Iora Health is a Boston, MA-based company with one mission: to restore humanity to health care. Our aim is simple: to deliver robust, dynamic primary care that transforms our patients’ lives. We seek a family nurse practitioner to join our practices in the Tucson, AZ area.

About Iora Health

We believe the only way forward is to start from scratch - to build a new model of primary health care delivery from the ground up to ensure radically improved customer service, high patient engagement, better health outcomes and lower overall health care costs. To that end, we uniquely combine the deep-seated social mission common to the not-for-profit sector with the resources, discipline and sustainability of a high-growth business. 

The Iora Health model of health care changes everything – payment, staffing, processes, IT systems, and culture. We have no status quo to defend, no arcane rules we must follow. We are a fast-paced, fresh-thinking, high-growth company building a better model of health care delivery.

The Iora model puts patients first, freeing us from traditional fee-for-service payment and its constraints on creative patient care, documentation and team staffing. Our teams of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, behavioral health specialists and health coaches work closely together to push the boundaries of what is possible for our patients. To that end, we combine the best of modern technology, evidence-based medicine and advances in teamwork to create a culture that grows and learns together. 

Iora Nurse Practitioners enjoy the benefits of smaller panel sizes, closer relationships with patients, no billing and the opportunity to lead systemic change in health care delivery while working with a true team.

Most importantly, Iora patients enjoy the benefits of improved access to care, no co-pays, options for non-office based encounters (e.g. phone, text messages, and email), group visits, yoga, cooking classes, an accessible and transparent medical record, and robust educational offerings. Our teams work collaboratively to creatively remove the barriers between patients and their health. 

Our team members develop and support medical practices that put patient relationships and service quality first -  and have the opportunity to lead systemic change in health care delivery in a dynamic, high-growth environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

The Family Nurse Practitioner will work with the Lead Provider to play a critical role in both care delivery as well as the ongoing design. This position will Float between all 3 Tucson practice locations. Specific tasks will include:

• Delivering Primary Care within the practices, through both traditional face-to-face visits as well as non-visit based interactions (e.g. phone, email, groups, home visits, video chat).
• Collaborating with a team of health coaches, who, based on a community health worker / promotora model, will help patients to set self-management goals, improve patient self-efficacy, and support physicians.
• Participating in development of robust group visit offerings, including educational classes, integrative yoga and fitness classes, etc.
• Taking a population management approach to care by viewing the entire community of patients as recipients, and using technology and team resources to direct care towards those most in need.
• Participating in communicating and marketing the practice model to new patients as well as other stakeholders such as the medical community, payers, and the press.
• Carrying out other appropriate professional duties as may be necessary, including liaison with outside medical consultants, hospitalists, emergency room providers, etc.
