Remote Patient Monitor - Virtual Assistant

This is a remote position.

Virtual Rockstar is hiring a full-time Remote Patient Monitor on behalf of our client — a rapidly growing home-based healthcare organization headquartered in Arkansas. This role is ideal for a compassionate, detail-oriented professional with a nursing background and strong Athena EMR experience who’s passionate about improving patient outcomes through remote care.

As the Remote Patient Monitor, you’ll be responsible for tracking patient health data, conducting outreach calls, and ensuring accurate documentation within Athena EMR.

You’ll play a key role in supporting patients receiving home visits, helping manage their ongoing health data and coordinating communication with their clinical care team.

Their team of medical professionals brings high-quality, personalized care directly to patients’ homes, ensuring continuity and compassion every step of the way.

The organization’s mission is to make healthcare more accessible, proactive, and human by combining hands-on home visits with modern remote patient monitoring systems.
