Telemedicine APP (NP/PA) – SNF & Post-Acute Care
Telemedicine Advanced Practice Provider (NP/PA) – Skilled Nursing & Post-Acute Care Position Overview We are building a collaborative team of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants passionate about delivering high-quality overnight care to skilled nursing and post-acute patients through telemedicine. This role is ideal for clinicians who enjoy acute clinical decision-making, autonomy, and meaningful collaboration with bedside nursing teams while helping support safe treat-in-place care and appropriate escalation when needed. Providers care for a geriatric and post-acute population with varying degrees of illness severity, supported by structured protocols, ongoing mentorship, and a team-oriented telemedicine environment designed to help clinicians grow in confidence and independence over time. Whether you are an experienced clinician or a motivated new provider interested in post-acute medicine, we are committed to creating a supportive onboarding and training experience that helps providers succeed in telemedicine care. Clinical Scope & Patient Population Providers care for a diverse geriatric and post-acute skilled nursing facility (SNF) patient population with a focus on:
- Responding to urgent and acute calls from skilled nursing facilities
- Evaluating and managing common SNF clinical concerns via telemedicine
- Providing clinical recommendations, treatment plans, and escalation guidance
- Determining when ER transfer or higher level of care is appropriate
- Documenting encounters accurately and efficiently within the EHR
- Collaborating professionally with nursing staff, facility providers, and telehealth leadership
- Following clinical protocols and workflows while utilizing independent clinical judgment
- Participating in onboarding, training, and occasional team meetings
Providers primarily deliver overnight telemedicine coverage (12-hour shifts, 7p–7a) for skilled nursing and post-acute facilities. Providers are expected to evaluate and manage acute change-in-condition scenarios through protocol-driven telemedicine assessments and clinical decision-making. Providers must be comfortable independently managing acute overnight clinical concerns in the SNF setting using telemedicine workflows, nursing collaboration, and established escalation protocols. Common Overnight Clinical Scenarios Include:
- Altered mental status and delirium
- Fever and infection concerns
- Respiratory symptoms
- Falls and injury assessment
- Hypertension and acute vital sign abnormalities
- Dehydration and poor oral intake
- Chest pain and cardiovascular concerns
- Urinary symptoms and possible UTI evaluation
