Job Description:
We---re unique. You should be, too. We---re changing lives every
day. For both our patients and our team members. Are you innovative
and entrepreneurial minded? Is your work ethic and ambition off the
charts? Do you inspire others with your kindness and joy? We---re
different than most primary care providers. We---re rapidly
expanding and we need great people to join our team. ChenMed, a
physician-led and mission-driven, primary care organization, is
currently one of the most successful full-risk Medicare Advantage
providers in the nation and has a vision to be America---s leading
primary care provider, transforming care of the neediest
population. Our mission is to honor seniors with affordable VIP
care that delivers better health. In order to achieve our vision
and deliver our mission, we need the best primary care providers
that are seeking to fulfill purpose and personal opportunity and
join the ChenMed family. 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. They understand that they can strongly influence the
patient---s outcomes by building a trusting relationship and
helping them change behaviors. --- 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 (each new patient count for 2 slots,
follow-up patients 1 slot), CGCAHPS (patient experience), clinical
gaps closures, and medical cost measures. Each PCP will have goals
for these metrics and will be expected to work towards those
targets with their center and market leadership as well as their
care teams. Culture is very important in the medical centers and
because PCP---s are leaders in our organization and centers, they
are expected to help champion a positive culture of love,
accountability, and passion along with center leadership. The PCP
will be required to demonstrate the ability to function both
independently and in collaboration with other health care
professionals. The PCP will work closely with the applicable
managers and medical directors to ensure compliance with guidelines
along with participating in risk and quality management programs,
clinical meetings and other meetings as required that promote
patient health and company goals. The PCP will adhere to strict
departmental goals/objectives, standards of performance, regulatory
compliance, quality patient care compliance, and policies and
procedures. 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. It is expected that the PCP will
engage with the hospitalist whenever one of their patients is in
the hospital (regardless of whether the hospitalist works for
ChenMed or not). 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. It is also expected that each PCP will take an
active role as needed in recruiting patients for the center and
additional providers for the company. Performs other duties as
assigned and modified at manager---s discretion. KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS
& ABILITIES: Competencies for Success Availability and
Accessibility for patients to build trust from their patients. It
is expected that PCP---s will make themselves as available to their
patients as possible by being open and available for walk-in visits
and answering phone calls and messages in a timely manner. 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. The PCP stays up to date on
clinical, nutritional, and lifestyle-based interventions to improve
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. This requires a willingness to work with
the care teams towards achieving high quality outcomes and quality
measures. At the same time, PCPs will always be looking for ways to
continuously and systematically improve their practice of medicine
and the operations of their center. 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. That means physically, mentally,
socially and spiritually. Physician wellness is important for
sustainability and promoting the health of physicians, staff, and
patients. Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite products including
