alignment with PACE Program standards. Works closely with the
clinical care team to conduct assessments, reassessments, develop
care plans, and deliver comprehensive primary care. ESSENTIAL
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Provide high-quality primary care with
a strong focus on individualized evaluation, starting with a
comprehensive history and physical exam, rather than defaulting to
broad diagnostic testing panels. Collaborate closely with the IDT
before referring participants to specialists, ensuring referrals
are necessary and that continuity of care is maintained.
Collaborate with the Medical Director to manage specialist
referrals, initiate appropriate treatment prior to referral when
indicated, review specialist notes promptly, and develop and
communicate participant care plans that incorporate clinical
judgment and consult findings to ensure comprehensive care. Manage
and monitor all of your participants' medications, aiming to exceed
expectations in medication reconciliation, and medication
interactions. This can be done in conjunction with the Medical
Director and our collaborating Pharmacist vendor. Stay actively
informed of participant status during hospitalizations and facility
stays, providing appropriate guidance to ensure safe transitions
and care continuity. Assume shared responsibility for all
participants in the center, regardless of individual assignment,
supporting the IDT model of team-based care. Participate in and
contribute to daily IDT meetings, offering clinical insights and
collaborating on participant-centered care plans. Ensure accurate,
timely completion of all participant assessments and documentation
in compliance with policy, regulatory, and quality standards.
Review and respond to labs, imaging, and consults in a timely
manner, incorporating findings into ongoing care plans and
communicating changes with the IDT. Educate participants and
caregivers on self-care strategies, medication use, and wellness
practices, empowering them to participate in their own care. Use
the Emergency Department judiciously, prioritizing PACE resources
unless symptoms are potentially life-threatening. Accurately
document diagnoses with attention to proper coding practices,
supporting risk adjustment and quality reporting metrics. Provide
coverage for the 24/7 on-call rotation, addressing participant
needs promptly and ensuring proper hand-offs and communication.
Contribute to discharge planning, supporting smooth transitions
across care settings. Assist with staff training and mentoring,
contributing to clinical policy development and best practice
implementation. Participate in ongoing performance and quality
improvement initiatives. Demonstrate flexibility by stepping into
other roles, as allowed by licensure and experience, when needed to
support the team. Maintain and report clinical resource needs to
the Medical Director, supporting effective operations. Consistently
uphold all safety, privacy, and compliance standards. EXPERIENCE
