  • Document patient interactions, education provided, and outcomes accurately and timely in designated systems (e.g., Salesforce, EMR, or other approved platforms).
  • Support referral workflows by ensuring patients are appropriately educated, tracked, and followed through the kidney care continuum.
  • Utilize virtual tools, dashboards, and reports to track patient engagement, outcomes, and program performance, escalating concerns as appropriate.
  • Participate in the development, evaluation, and continuous improvement of virtual education materials, documentation, and on-demand content.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of kidney disease, treatment modalities, and Fresenius Kidney Care programs to ensure consistent, compliant education.
  • Identify patient barriers to care (social, logistical, educational) and connect patients with appropriate internal or external resources.
  • Support quality, safety, and compliance initiatives by adhering to all regulatory, privacy, and documentation standards.
  • Participate in team meetings, training sessions, and performance reviews as required.
  • Support patients longitudinally, reinforcing education, and navigating next steps in collaboration with the care team.
