Skilled Nursing Facility Provider

Required Qualifications/Position Description: 

Morlen Health is seeking a Board Certified or Eligible Internist, Family Practitioner, Geriatrician or Hospitalist to join a dedicated team of SNF Physicians in the Continuum Complexivist department.

This is a permanent Morlen Health staff position working within the KPNW department

What You Can Expect:

This team includes nurses, therapists and social workers that provide after-hospital care in the SNF setting. We emphasize transitions of care from the hospital to the skilled nursing setting and from a skilled nursing facility to home or other settings of care. We provide a team approach, usually with one to two SNF physicians (MD/NP) and a Care Coordinator. You will care for a spectrum of medical complexities, ranging from straight-forward, elective orthopedic surgery patients to those with multiple, complex medical problems at each facility.

Our department goals include decreasing emergency room visits and re-hospitalization, as well as transitioning to palliative and hospice care, when appropriate. You will enjoy a predominantly weekday, daytime work schedule. You will work most of the time at one of our 9 SNF locations but also support a virtual care model that includes early, day, and evening shifts, once per week. You should be comfortable working across the Portland metro area. There may be some flexibility where most of the work could be focused in one primary SNF location.

When you work virtual shifts (from home), you will support our home health field staff, in members’ homes, as well as consults (physician consults to determine patient eligibility). You will also support our “Transition Nurse Team” for escalations of patients transitioning from recent Hospitalist discharges or SNF discharges. Virtual Shifts are roughly 10-20 percent of the work. You should have experience with digital technologies (AI platforms, telehealth and/ or digital health as examples). If you don’t have direct experience, then you will need to demonstrate both flexibility and adaptability to incorporate these into your practice as we continue to evolve our virtual care model. We also feature a robust, Epic Health Connect-based charting.
