As a post-acute care medical director and primary care physician you will be a part of an integrated care team providing primary care services in post-acute care facilities including skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. Our patient population includes long-term care, short-term care, memory care, and clinically complex patients and residents. Our physicians are responsible for driving high quality, safe and cost effective care of patients in our local post-acute care communities. You will work on an interdisciplinary team rounding on all patients as medically necessary as required by CMS. This includes but is not limited to H&P, admission, progress, transfer, discharge, and acute/follow up. You will also work with the facility to transfer patients to the level and site of care most appropriate for their medical needs upon discharge including returning to home, independent living centers, assisted living, and/or memory care.
