Clinical Team Leader - Mental Health - Full time - Nights

Dayton Children's Hospital

1d•Onsite

About The Position

The Clinical Team Leader (CTL) identifies the procedures, processes, and patient care to be accomplished during the work period, as well as the resources that will be required to carry out the work of the unit safely in collaboration with the unit and organizational leadership teams. The CTL distributes the work in a manner that makes the best use of available resources, both personnel and material, and which considers the knowledge, skills, and abilities of those persons who will be integral to the patient care process. The CTL provides ongoing coordination of work and resources as necessary to meet changing requirements in the work environment. This includes working with clinical logistics and crisis services to optimally coordinate patient flow. The CTL is dedicated to safety, may serve as a de-escalation trainer, promotes utilization of Hospital Acquired Condition Prevention tools, and remains situationally aware of patient status and overall milieu acuity. On an ongoing basis, the CTL evaluates individual and collective outcomes of the patient care provided during their shift, compares patient care delivery to accepted standards, adjusts assignment of resources, and reports changing needs and outcomes to the staff. Because the CTL observes patient care delivery and outcomes as provided by coworkers, they may be asked to contribute observations to individual employee evaluations, suggest proficiency evaluations, or to advise and educate fellow staff. These functions should not, however, be constructed as supervisory in the sense of exercising control regarding employment decisions. The CTL is accountable for overall operation of an assigned unit during a specific time period but is not solely or personally responsible for the selection or discharge of employees of the health care facility.
