Nurse Manager, OP

UPMC•McKeesport, PA

About The Position

The Nurse Manager supports three collaborative mobile teams: Mobile Medications (MM), the Geriatric In-Home Services Program (GIHSP), and the Mobile Behavioral Health Team (MBHT). Although each team provides distinct services, they collaborate to support one another and deliver coordinated care. The MBHT is the only team providing this specific mobile behavioral health service in Allegheny County. The teams are based within outpatient locations, where they regularly interact with supervisors, colleagues, and other programs. The role includes a limited on-call commitment, generally no more than six calls per year; most needs can be addressed remotely through coordination with the pharmacy or other appropriate resources. The Nurse Manager oversees daily operations, staffing, patient flow, clinical activities, budgets, resources, scheduling, and operational priorities. The position leads staff hiring, training, development, performance management, and engagement, while fostering a collaborative, supportive, and accountable work environment. It promotes safe, compassionate, patient-centered care and evidence-based practices; monitors outcomes; and implements quality, safety, and process improvements. The role ensures regulatory compliance, staff competencies, training, and workplace safety, and collaborates with physicians, leadership, and multidisciplinary teams to achieve practice goals. The Nurse Manager uses clinical, financial, and satisfaction data to improve workflows, staffing, and patient care, and supports efficient documentation, billing, resource utilization, and overall practice performance. The individual must demonstrate the knowledge and skills to interact appropriately with patients of the ages served by the assigned unit, understand growth and development across the lifespan, assess patient-status data, identify age-specific needs, and provide care according to department policies and procedures.
