Responsibilities

Perform at the top of your license, performing best practice, holistic, patient-centered, evidence-based interdisciplinary palliative medicine.
Provide palliative care consultations and follow-up visits across the hospital continuum – from high-acuity ED and ICU encounters to ongoing management on medical, surgical, and specialty units.
Manage complex symptoms for patients with advanced illness and chronic disease.
Lead goals-of-care and advance care planning conversations with patients and families, coordinating with partner SNFs and/or hospices if and when appropriate.
Partner with the interdisciplinary team and hospital teams, fully integrating into hospital workflows and shaping the palliative medicine practice.
Complete timely documentation aligned with clinical, billing, and quality standards.
Spend as much time on discharge planning as on intake, managing transitions from inpatient to the patient’s next setting, considering each patient’s longitudinal preference and best interests.
