Location: Family Medicine at Greenhill
Position: FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER - FAMILY MEDICINE AT GREENHILL
Family Medicine at Greenhill (FMAG) is currently seeking an experienced Family Medicine Nurse Practitioner to care for a panel of primary care patients. Patients may be seen in one of our Wilmington two offices. The Family Nurse Practitioner will provide preventive and sick care as well as manage chronic diseases and some office-based procedures. Patients range from newborn to elderly, and we try to match the panel of patients with the interests and skills of each clinician.
WHAT MAKES FAMILY MEDICINE AT GREENHILL DIFFERENT?
Assigned staff to assist with Administrative Burden and Care Coordination:
Many nurse practitioners have become frustrated with the increasing administrative burdens, spending hours each day entering data into the EHR, completing forms, doing refills and returning phone calls. We believe clinicians should diagnose problems and treat patients, not be bogged down with administrative work.
At FMAG, each clinician has a care management nurse to address patients' questions and concerns and deal with refills and other requests, as well as clerical staff to complete preauthorization and other forms. Also, each clinician has the opportunity to have a scribe to write visit notes and retrieve data from the EHR while the clinician talks to the patient. We believe that clinicians are happier and more productive when they spend more time being clinicians and less time being data-entry clerks.
Access to Care:
Our philosophy is to be as available to patients as possible, especially to populations that are more vulnerable and disadvantaged. We offer scheduled early morning, early evening, and walk-in appointments during the week as well as Saturday morning and telemedicine appointments.
Social Worker on Staff:
Our practice also believes in the importance of meeting patient's mental health needs. Our on-site social worker counsels patients as well as assists with their social problems and needs.
Responsibilities:
- Provide office based primary care to a panel of patients of all ages.
- See patients of other clinicians' panels as needed.
- Some early mornings and/or early evenings, and Saturday mornings once per month or less.
- Possibly provide primary care to homebound patients, depending on practice needs and employee's experience and interests.
- Work collaboratively with team, including physicians, social worker, nurses, medical assistants, clerical staff, scribes, and managers.
Qualifications:
- Graduation from an Accredited Nurse Practitioner Program and current licensure to practice in the state of Delaware
- Current unencumbered DEA and Delaware controlled substance license
- Minimum two years' experience in a primary care or comparable care setting
- Home visit experience a plus
- Experience with an electronic health record system (EHR)
