Responsibilities
The Primary Care Physician (PCP) in our organization demonstrates: Accountability for outcomes: The PCP demonstrates accountability for outcomes, strong clinical care, and cost-effectiveness for each patient in their panel of up to 450 patients. Coaching for health: The PCP acts as a health coach, rather than just a consultant for sickness, by helping patients set short and long-term health goals, partners with the patient to work toward the goals, and frequently follows up on those goals on the path to improved health for their patients. Simplifying for action: The PCP simplifies and prioritizes appropriately so that behavior change is more actionable, both for the patient in helping them achieve their goals, and when leading their care teams towards their performance goals. We are an outcomes-focused, value-based organization and for their panel of patients, the following metrics are regularly measured to help PCP’s become successful and reach partnership status: patient admissions/thousand, using between 18-21 appointment slots per day, CGCAHPS (patient experience), clinical gaps closures, and medical cost measures. Essential Job Duties/Responsibilities
The PCP independently provides care for patients with acute and chronic illnesses encountered in the older adult patient. The PCP will take full accountability for patient care and outcomes and will appropriately seek consultation from specialists when needed, though will still stay involved in, and be responsible for, the detailed care of the patient. The PCP is responsible for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, management, education, health promotion and care coordination and documentation for patients with acute and complex chronic health needs. The PCP leads their care team consisting of care promoter (medical assistant), care facilitator, and care coordinator for patients able to come to the office. For patients that are unable to come to the office—in hospital, SNF, LTC or homebound, PCP will engage with the transitional care team and others including case managers, acute and transitional-care physicians, and other resources that may be available depending on the market. PCP will have an active role in the management of their center and will help cover for other providers who may be out for various reasons. Supervises, collaborates with, participates with, or functions within a practice or collaborative agreement with an Advanced Practice Practitioner (APP) and remains accountable for the actions of the APP while employed with the company. Performs other duties as assigned and modified at manager’s discretion. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
Availability and Accessibility for patients to build trust from their patients. Service Orientation — PCP’s provide care that they would want for a family member or for themselves to each patient at every interaction. Evidence Based Medicine — The PCP remains updated on evidence-based medicine, but also recognizes that factors outside of traditional medicine, like lifestyle and nutrition, have a large impact on patient health outcomes. Physician Leadership is integral to good healthcare, so the PCP must be willing to continuously work to develop and improve leadership skills for the benefit of one’s patients, their team, their center and the company. Quality — Our patients deserve the highest quality of care. Influence — PCP’s must competently and compassionately influence their patients, their teams, and themselves to achieve the best outcomes. Self-Care — A PCP can take the best care for their patients when they are adequately caring for themselves. Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, plus a variety of other word-processing, spreadsheet, database, e-mail and presentation software as used in the company. Ability and willingness to travel locally as needed in their market, if applicable, nationally for initial training and then occasionally regionally and nationally for recruiting or training purposes. Fluency in English, verbal and written. This job requires use and exercise of independent judgment. Education and Experience Criteria
