About The Position

The Clinical Team Leader (CTL) identifies the procedures, processes, and patient care to be accomplished during the work period, along with the resources needed to carry out unit work safely in collaboration with unit and organizational leadership teams. The CTL distributes work to make the best use of available personnel and material resources while considering staff members’ knowledge, skills, and abilities. The CTL coordinates work and resources as requirements change, including collaborating with clinical logistics and crisis services to coordinate patient flow.

The CTL is dedicated to safety, may serve as a de-escalation trainer, promotes use of Hospital Acquired Condition Prevention tools, and remains aware of patient status and overall milieu acuity. The CTL evaluates individual and collective patient-care outcomes during the shift, compares care delivery with accepted standards, adjusts resource assignments, and reports changing needs and outcomes to staff.

These functions are not supervisory control over employment decisions.
