Specialty: Family Practice Discipline: Nurse Practitioner Duration:
Ongoing Employment Type: Staff Salary will be competitive and based
on equitable consideration of qualifications and experience. 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
