Description

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 Supervisor (PCAS) will be responsible for leading the efforts of the Patient Care Advocate (PCA)
team. The key focus of this supervisory role is to follow the patient post fitting to determine usage of our product in our
remote patient monitoring platform called Kestra CareStation® and supporting the team to find a resolution, provide
technical troubleshooting, and drive maintenance on information such as patient identification numbers, clinics, end of
service, end of use, and end of monitoring data. The PCAS collaborates with the field sales leaders and team members to
ensure that post fitting follow-up activities are executed meeting performance expectations. The ability to work in
partnership with the internal teams such as Helpline, Billing, Returns, and sales can be leveraged for improved consistency
of field service operations initiatives.
The PCAS will strategically implement metrics to support our commercial growth while aligning to our patient first
culture. Expectations will be on developing key relationships and gaining a greater understanding of internal and external
stakeholders to ensure a high-performance environment is maintained and we continue to have cross-functional
effectiveness to achieve the same mission.
The team will be facilitating outreach to patients, facilities, and the field organization where additional information is
needed to effectively follow the patient and provide documentation for an improved patient experience, returns, and
revenue cycle management. Additionally, the team will support following the patient journey for other administrative tasks
such as helping to identify upcoming renewals, expediting potential ASSURE system returns, handling unreachable patients,
and supporting the Field Services team workflows. The PCAS will serve as the primary point of contact for the internal
teams in aiding to drive metrics on patient compliance and process improvement.
