Orientation: Will need 2 days of orienting prior to first scheduled shift.
* Support staff: Varies per site.
* # of patients per day: Varies per site
* Hospital bed size: Adult Inpatient (50 beds) OR Child/Adolescent Inpatient (30 beds)
* Credentialing timeline: 60-90 days
* Vaccine Requirements: Covid + Booster
Additional job specifics:
* On weekdays, the Adult Unit is staffed with 2 MDs, 2 APPs, and Residents. There is a morning meeting at 8:30 every day to discuss the entire census with nursing and social work. On weekends, the Adult Unit is staffed with 1 MD, 2 APPs and Resident.
* Adult Unit sign-out: you will receive and provide sign-out on the “psychiatry communication” column on the epic census.
* Supervision: you must see and staff each patient the residents are assigned. You do not have to see each patient assigned to the APP, but you must staff each of their patients.
* IVC: 1. For patients who are admitted as IVC, you must complete the 2nd exam within 24 hours of admit to the unit. 2. For patients who are discharged, you must fax the “rescind IVC” form for each IVC patient to let the court aware of their discharge. 3. For patients who are admitted as voluntary but IVC during their admission, you must complete the first petition for IVC, and have another provider (or resident) complete the 2nd evaluation after the patient has been served by the sheriff. The AC can coordinate the faxing of the IVC petition and the serving of papers.
Consult info:
* Facility Bases Crisis (FBC) / Consults
* Review patients prior to bed progression meeting at 9:00 AM.
* Check in with FBC residents for supervision / staff patients and discuss any difficult cases. Ensure that the residents have your contact and know that they should contact you throughout the remainder of the day.
* Receive or print out consult list. These patients will need to be seen in person at the MC/WL campus.
* TTS inpatient consult delineation is by whether patient has been admitted to the hospital, not the physical location of a patient. This means the inpatient consults attending will need to see some people physically in the EDs if they have been admitted medically.
* If a patient consult is placed before 12noon and you are unable to see the patient for any reason, it is helpful to have a note in the chart both to keep the Monday team appraised of efforts, and for chart look backs (looking at time from consult order to first note). This can be very brief, for example: brief psychiatry consult note.
* ED weekend coverage (via phone)
* Start the morning reviewing charts for patients in the EDs, as you will be responsible for staffing those throughout the day. Attend Bed Progression Meeting @ 9am to discuss disposition, assisting the EDs from getting backed up.
* Routing notes = still medicolegally responsible for the care of those patients, and it's disingenuous to present it as it is written below:
* “No requirement to attend meeting, notes routed to attending without discussion.”
* At minimum, all discharges should be staffed with an attending before they happen.
