Duties

The VA Midwest Health Care Network advocates for a Whole Health System of care in each of the Medical Centers. This is an approach to healthcare that empowers and equips people to take charge of their health and well-being and live their lives to the fullest. As an employee operating in a Whole Health System of care, you will operate in a model with three core elements, seeking to create a personalized health plan for each Veteran. This is done in the context of healing relationships and healing environments and a connection back to the Veteran's community. This aligns with the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Mission Statement to Honor America's Veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and well-being.

Duties include, but are not limited to:

  • Ensuring that the primary care clinic schedules are appropriate, addressing space issues, labor mapping, and resolving conflicts as they arise.
  • Responsible for the continued implementation of the PACT model of care at the main medical center and CBOCs. Provide general oversight of the medical center based educational activities within the Ambulatory Care Service Line such as the resident continuity clinic, NP/PA students, and medical students.
  • Responsible for all necessary administrative functions of the Ambulatory Care Service Line in collaboration with the Ambulatory Care Administrative Officer and administrative staff
  • Assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring outcome measures of healthcare problems of patients presenting with internal medicine concerns. A nonexclusive list includes the following: performing histories and physicals, initiating and adjusting therapeutic regimens, ordering diagnostic and therapeutic tests/studies, initiating consults to specialty services, prescribing medications/supplies in accordance with VA policy and the VA formulary, providing appropriate follow up care, and triage of patients with non-medicine complaints, diseases, and injuries to appropriate disciplines for diagnosis and treatment.
  • The physician will work in a team setting with other physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and support staff assigned to perform duties to accomplish the treatment of ICVAHCS veterans.
  • Computer skills are essential as the ICVAHCS is fully computerized for note documentation, entering orders and requesting consults.
