• Complete at least 32-hours synchronous video visits with Miga patients per week.

• Prepare for visits by reading chart notes from the rest of a patient’s multidisciplinary team (including a registered dietitian and health coach) so that other team members’ recommendations can be reinforced during visits.

• Clearly and concisely document video visits within 24 hours in a charting template so that the rest of the multidisciplinary team understands the content of the visits.

• Order and interpret labs and other diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and interpret home monitoring data (e.g., weight, blood pressure).

• Maintain high scores ( >4/5) on process, quality, and patient satisfaction metrics.

• Communicate with patients asynchronously using our provider app.

• Refer patients internally to registered dietitians and health coaches.

• Coordinate and communicate care plans with external medical providers, including primary care providers and specialists.

• Participate in weekly clinical meetings, educational sessions, and broader team meetings.
