About The Position

The Advanced Practice Provider (APRN or Physician Assistant) – Open Access provides comprehensive, patient-centered medical care across the continuum, with a primary focus on improving access, care transitions, and clinic efficiency. The role supports same-day access, post-hospital follow-up, pre-operative optimization, and overflow care for established provider panels.

The Open Access APP functions similarly to a primary care provider in clinical scope but does not maintain an independent patient panel. This role serves as a flexible resource to enhance patient access, reduce delays in care, and support continuity across ambulatory and inpatient transitions. The APP works autonomously and in collaboration with physicians and interdisciplinary teams to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic health conditions.

The APP is accountable for quality metrics, HCC coding, patient satisfaction, and chart closure data. In conjunction with the care team, the APP responds to patient messages, returns patient phone calls, and follows up on diagnostic testing. After-hours and weekend call is required and distributed evenly among all primary care providers. The position plays a critical role in improving patient outcomes, reducing hospital readmissions, and optimizing clinic throughput.
