Job description
The provider will see acute patients in a 33-bed inpatient setting. The average daily census is 21, and patients will be seen M-F, during business hours (generally 9a-5p with some flexibility). Initial Psych evaluations (1-hour session) are to be performed on new admissions within 60 hours of admission. Subsequent follow-ups consist of 15-minute visits for ongoing medication management. The average length of patient stay is 7 days. Treatment team meetings are staffed once a week, every Tuesday, and can last 1-2 hours depending on caseload.
The provider is not required to perform history & physical; we employ hospitalists who perform the H & P, as well as treat any active medical conditions the patient may present with or require ongoing care for. Therapist level team members complete psychosocial workups within 72 hours, and provide ongoing individual/family counseling, and psychotherapy groups. Our interdisciplinary team of RNs, Mental Health Techs, Activities Coordinators, and other ancillary personal consists of approximately 80 additional team members.
Call rotation is 1 week on, 2 weeks off. During call, the provider can expect to receive calls related to the provision of emergency medications (i.e. chemical restraints) and requests for admission orders from the intake team. Staff is trained to minimize after-hours calls to physicians unless issues are imperative.
