Emilie Newsom
@emilienewsom
Registered Nurse specializing in pediatric home health, complex case management, MDS coordination, and Medicare/Medicaid compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a compassionate, detail-oriented Registered Nurse with experience across pediatric home health, skilled home health, and long-term care, with a strong focus on MDS coordination, quality assurance auditing, and clinical documentation review.
In my current role providing skilled nursing care for medically complex pediatric patients, I manage ventilator, tracheostomy, and G-tube needs at home. I perform respiratory assessments, medication administration, enteral feedings, wound and stoma care, and family education while maintaining patient safety and keeping interdisciplinary teams aligned through accurate EMR documentation.
I also bring a compliance-and-quality mindset from supervising nursing staff as a Charge Nurse/PRN MDS Coordinator and conducting Medicare/Medicaid/CMS and Joint Commission record audits as a Quality Assurance Auditor. I’m at my best when I can improve documentation accuracy, support regulatory compliance, and strengthen continuity of care through interdisciplinary collaboration.
