Virelia Health connects registered nurses with opportunities across virtual care coordination, telehealth care management, and digital care programs.

We are seeking qualified Telehealth Care Coordinator RNs for remote opportunities supporting virtual care companies, health systems, health plans, accountable care organizations (ACOs), and digital care organizations.

A Remote Telehealth Care Coordinator RN supports virtual care coordination — RN-led virtual care coordination, interdisciplinary care team coordination, and virtual care planning. Working within their state licensure and clinical scope of practice, the telehealth care coordinator RN supports members through virtual care planning, interdisciplinary team coordination, care navigation, and care plan reinforcement.

This position is well-suited to a registered nurse with care coordination, virtual care, telehealth, chronic care management, or ambulatory care nursing experience who wants to practice in a virtual setting — providing meaningful clinical coordination work with schedule flexibility and without the demands of a facility-based environment.

The specific telehealth care coordination program, member population, clinical model, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.

This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote telehealth care coordinator RN jobs, work-from-home care coordination RN jobs, remote RN care coordinator jobs, virtual care coordinator RN, or remote telehealth care management RN roles.

• Conduct virtual member assessments — clinical, functional, and psychosocial needs.
• Develop individualized virtual care plans in collaboration with members, caregivers, and the interdisciplinary team.
• Coordinate care across providers, specialists, and community resources through virtual channels.
• Support members with chronic conditions — education, self-management support, and goal setting.
• Support care transitions — post-discharge, post-ED, and specialist referrals.
• Facilitate interdisciplinary care team coordination — virtual case conferences and care team huddles.
• Coordinate with virtual care teams — providers, care managers, and behavioral health.
• Reinforce provider care plans and clinical instructions.
• Document all member contacts accurately in the care management platform.
• Identify members with rising risk or unmet needs and escalate to the appropriate clinical team.
• Support members in crisis — following crisis escalation protocols.

Telehealth Care Coordination Focus

Virtual care coordination is a rapidly growing area of clinical practice — driven by increased demand for virtual care, payer investment in care coordination, and health system investment in digital care delivery. Telehealth care coordinator RNs extend clinical reach, improve care coordination, and support members through virtual channels.

Depending on the program, telehealth care coordination may focus on:

The telehealth care coordinator RN's role is to provide virtual care coordination within their licensure and scope of practice — including assessment, care planning, interdisciplinary coordination, care plan reinforcement, documentation, and care navigation. Clinical decisions, medication changes, and diagnostic decisions belong to the treating providers; the telehealth care coordinator RN supports the member's virtual care and coordinates with the care team.

This structure keeps the role focused on virtual assessment, care planning, interdisciplinary coordination, documentation, and appropriate clinical escalation.

Interdisciplinary Coordination & Virtual Care Planning

Effective virtual care coordination depends on strong interdisciplinary coordination and virtual care planning — the RN's clinical judgment and coordination skills determine how to help each member achieve their health goals.

Depending on the program and clinical focus, you may support members by:

• Conducting virtual member assessments — clinical, functional, and psychosocial needs.
• Developing individualized virtual care plans with members, caregivers, and the interdisciplinary team.
• Facilitating interdisciplinary care team coordination — virtual case conferences and care team huddles.
• Coordinating care across providers, specialists, and community resources through virtual channels.
• Supporting members with chronic conditions — education, self-management support, and goal setting.
• Supporting care transitions — post-discharge, post-ED, and specialist referrals.
• Reinforcing provider care plans and clinical instructions.
• Documenting each member contact accurately and consistently.
• Escalating concerning clinical findings to the appropriate clinical team.
• Following crisis escalation protocols when members report urgent clinical symptoms.

Clinical judgment, coordination skills, and clear communication are essential — virtual care coordination requires strong interdisciplinary collaboration and consistent member engagement across virtual channels.

A Remote Telehealth Care Coordinator RN may follow a structured workflow across each virtual care coordination encounter.

Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:

A Typical Day

A typical day may begin by reviewing your virtual care coordination panel — checking member names, recent clinical notes, upcoming care coordination needs, and any care plan goals that need follow-up.

You'll conduct virtual member outreach by phone or video — assessing clinical, functional, and psychosocial needs, and coordinating with members and their care teams on care plan development and reinforcement.

Between member encounters, you'll facilitate interdisciplinary care team coordination — virtual case conferences and care team huddles — coordinate care across providers and specialists, and document each member contact accurately.

Throughout the day, you'll support members with chronic conditions, coordinate care transitions, escalate concerning clinical findings to the appropriate clinical team, and follow up with members who need extra support.

The role combines virtual member assessment, virtual care planning, interdisciplinary care team coordination, documentation, and appropriate clinical escalation.

Unlike direct virtual care nursing roles, virtual care coordination focuses on the connective tissue of care — bringing together providers, specialists, community resources, and the member to support coordinated, whole-person care.

This position is designed for remote virtual care coordination delivery.

Depending on the employer, you may work with:

Candidates should have a stable internet connection suitable for real-time video, a private workspace suitable for confidential member conversations, and comfort with multiple digital platforms.
