Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant | Value Based Care - Bridge Clinic | Day | Full-Time
About The Position
This position is fully in the ambulatory or outpatient setting, with no inpatient responsibilities. The clinician will play an essential role on a multidisciplinary team, assisting in the delivery of care for patients undergoing care transitions (e.g., from the emergency department or inpatient stay to home), managing follow-up for chronic diseases, and closing health maintenance gaps. The role involves providing comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic health care services to patients, including but not limited to: taking medical histories, performing medication reconciliation, conducting physical examinations, ordering and coordinating lab tests and diagnostic studies, prescribing medications, and guiding patients on treatment plans and health education. Specific responsibilities include conducting post-discharge or transitional care management visits, Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, and chronic disease management visits. This work is conducted under the direction of UFHP and ambulatory care leadership and will interface with interdisciplinary teams across the health system. Patient interactions will primarily occur through telemedicine visits and telephone outreach (with the potential to see patients in-person one day per week), requiring strong electronic medical record (EMR) proficiency and excellent telemedicine communication skills with both patients and team members.
