Primary Care Plus is looking for a well-qualified FLOAT Nurse Practitioner to join our growing practice in Louisiana. Primary Care Plus clinics are part of a clinically integrated network (CIN) designed to provide enhanced care to Medicare Advantage, Quality plan, and ACO members by delivering high quality, coordinated healthcare that produces superior outcomes in a cost-effective manner. Our clinical team includes physicians, APRNs, RN Care Managers, clinic support staff, and a Quality Improvement team who work together to coordinate care for patients in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. A robust transitional care and high-risk outreach program provides physicians with additional information to support their patients outside of the clinic. Primary Care Plus also uses a sophisticated electronic medical record system and robust analytical data analysis to identify patients who are at high risk for poor outcomes to improve their quality of life. Consistent feedback is provided to the clinical team on all business objectives including quality measures, diagnostic accuracy, and hospitalization rates. Providers are not measured based on productivity or RVUs, but rather patient outcomes. Most appointments are scheduled for 30-60 minutes per patient.

The FLOAT Nurse Practitioner for our Primary Care Plus clinics will work collaboratively with the team in various clinics to provide health promotion, health education and manage and treat chronic conditions and acute illnesses to improve our patient's quality of life and to facilitate optimal health outcomes through cost-effective healthcare. The FLOAT nurse practitioner will provide medical services to our patients, diagnose, and develop care and treatment plans. The FLOAT nurse practitioner also will perform annual comprehensive wellness assessments and emphasize the importance of disease prevention by incorporating health goal review, teaching and counseling with patients and their families. For this role, the FLOAT NP will travel throughout the Greater New Orleans Area including but not limited to Slidell, Hammond and Houma. The FLOAT nurse practitioner may intermittently perform in-home and nursing home visits. Mileage is reimbursed.

+ Provide primary care, including ordering and evaluating diagnostic/screening/laboratory tests, and management of minor acute illnesses

+ Prescribe medications as delegated in the protocols and/or procedures within licensed prescriptive authority

+ Provide individualized patient teaching and counseling

+ Ensure coding and documentation of HEDIS, Quality STAR measures and Risk Adjustment diagnoses as appropriate

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.

**Required Qualifications:**

+ Successful completion of an advanced practice Nurse Education Program

+ Nurse Practitioner Certification as Adult, Geriatric, or Family NP

+ Active, unencumbered RN license to practice nursing in the assigned state

+ CPR certification

+ 2+ years of post-graduate experience working as a Nurse Practitioner

**Physical demands**

+ The work involves considerable physical exertion such as frequent lifting of patients and equipment, bending and stooping, and walking.

+ The work environment involves moderate risks or discomforts, which require special safety precautions, e.g., working with risk of exposure to contagious disease or infection, or working with emotionally, disturbed patients.

+ Precautions are routine for nearly all situations.

+ The nurse practitioner may be required to use protective clothing or gear to continuously maintain universal precautions.

+ Must be able to travel (i.e. using personal vehicle) within the market areas
