Patient Care Advocate Kirkland, WA

The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience in the external and internal cardiac medical device markets. The company was founded in 2014 by industry leaders inspired by the opportunity to unite modern wearable technologies with proven device therapies. Kestra’s solutions combine high quality and technical performance with a wearable design that provides the greatest regard for patient comfort and dignity.

Innovating versatile new ways to deliver care, Kestra is helping patients and their care teams harmoniously monitor, manage, and protect life.

The Patient Care Advocate (PCA) is responsible for leading the efforts of patient connectivity to our remote patient monitoring system, Kestra Care Station®. The PCA facilitates usage by reaching out proactively to patients not transmitting data and attempting to reestablish connection. During these outreach calls the PCA will also address any patient issues, concerns, or needs.

Additionally, the PCA will support other administrative tasks such as identifying expiring Standard Written Orders (SWO’s), expediting potential ASSURE system returns, maintaining user access and notifications, and fixing technical errors with patient unique identification codes and other system errors. The PCA will serve as the primary point of contact for driving metrics on patient connectivity and compliance.
