Responsibilities:

  • Clinical Care: The Physician Assistant (PA) or Nurse Practitioner (NP) conducts assessments, triages, and manages therapeutic interventions for patient and family needs throughout the healthcare journey as a vital member of an interdisciplinary team. Whether in inpatient, ambulatory, or outpatient settings, the NP/PA ensures optimal patient care, from diagnosis to prognosis. This individual collaborates with supervising physicians in accordance with state laws and hospital regulations, hospital policies, protocols, and clinical pathways, and may provide autonomous team-based care.

Additionally, the NP/PA may assist in operative cases as long as they meet position scope and educational prerequisites.
  • Patient Education & Psychosocial Support: The NP/PA educates patients and families about care and available resources. In collaboration with the supervising physician, this includes providing admission instructions, treatment plans, discussing potential side effects of treatments and medications, and discharge planning. The NP/PA also offers psychosocial support to patients and their families in a compassionate and professional manner.
  • Information Management: The NP/PA ensures accurate documentation in accordance with hospital and regulatory requirements, safeguarding all forms of information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
  • Quality Management: The NP/PA is expected to uphold high standards of ethical behavior, professionalism, compassion, and dedication to patient care, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulatory requirements and standards.
  • Professional Development: The NP/PA actively participates in projects that enhance and maintain professional competency. They may serve as a clinical resource for new staff and provide orientation pertinent to clinical education. The NP/PA consistently demonstrates reliability by reporting safety events and near misses, and engages in projects that advance their professional skills. They maintain all employee requirements set by hospital policy and may mentor NP/PA students and other healthcare professionals. Collaboration on research, quality assurance, and performance improvement projects is also encouraged.

EDUCATION:
Graduation from an accredited Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant Program.

EXPERIENCE:
Clinical experience as a NP/PA in the relevant specialty/service line is preferred but not mandatory.
