Prisma Health Urgent Care • Charleston, SC

23h • Remote

About The Position

As a Prisma Health Urgent Care Remote Supervising Physician, you will provide clinical oversight, consultation, and support to Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Prisma Health Urgent Care policies and procedures, established clinical standards, and the operational needs of the organization. You will provide timely clinical consultation and support to APPs during assigned supervision or coverage periods, including by telephone or other approved communication methods when you are not physically present at the center. You will provide clinical guidance and review cases requiring physician involvement, including high-risk complaints, critical findings, abnormal vital signs, ECGs, and other situations requiring physician escalation. You will provide appropriate clinical direction when concerns arise, including recommendations for additional evaluation, treatment, changes to the plan of care, follow-up, or escalation to a higher level of care. You will review and cosign APP documentation when required by applicable law, credentialing requirements, or Prisma Health Urgent Care policy. You will provide additional clinical support and case review for newly hired, newly credentialed, or otherwise designated APPs during orientation or enhanced supervision periods. You will participate in applicable quality improvement and peer review activities related to APP practice, including providing clinical feedback and escalating significant quality or patient safety concerns through established processes. You will support APP practice within the provider’s authorized scope of practice and applicable requirements related to physician supervision, collaboration, delegation, and prescriptive authority. Prisma Health Urgent Care utilizes a team-based physician coverage model. Depending on operational needs, you may serve as the Daily Supervising Physician or Alternate Supervising Physician for your assigned center. In this capacity, you will provide clinical consultation and support to APPs within your center and, when needed, to APPs practicing at surrounding Prisma Health Urgent Care centers. Daily physician coverage and support responsibilities are separate from formal South Carolina Medical Board supervising or collaborating physician assignments and may not correspond directly with the APPs assigned to you under an individual supervising or collaborating physician agreement.
