Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner

We are recruiting an acute care nurse practitioner for an employed, outpatient primary care position with a value-based senior care group in Independence, Missouri. Full-time, onsite.

The role

This is the acute-care arm of a center care team rather than a paneled primary care position. You would carry the urgent side of the practice so paneled providers can hold their schedules.

• Walk-in visits, same-day sick visits, and hospital follow-up
• Communicating plans of care back to members' primary care providers
• Working with center leadership to identify members who need acute support
• Directing and partnering with medical assistants and the wider care team
• Supporting patient access and keeping wait times down
• Participating in clinical and quality-review meetings, and in community outreach

Practice setting

• Outpatient primary care and consulting under physician supervision and collaboration agreements
• Purpose-built neighborhood centers serving a Medicare-age population
• Role covers several centers a short distance apart within the same market

Important to know

• This position carries night, weekend, and holiday call on a schedule set by the employer

What we're looking for

• Active, non-probationary Missouri professional nursing license
• Minimum one year of primary care experience in internal medicine, geriatrics, or family medicine
• Current BLS and ACLS certification
• Comfort managing a predominantly Medicare-age, medically underserved panel with multiple chronic conditions
• Strong command of examination technique and diagnostics
• Willingness to travel between nearby centers in the market
