Long Island Jewish Health Systems, Forest Hills Hospital, Forest Hills, NY Supervising Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

Monday - Friday
45-55 hours/week
I orchestrated and developed an acute nurse practitioner hospitalist service track. The role of the acute care nurse practitioners was measured to be essential in coordinating admissions, expediting care, reducing hospital length of stay, reducing hospital-acquired infections, and minimizing hospital readmissions. As the managing supervisor, I conducted grand rounds to strategize evidence-based care plans for the assigned nurse practitioner to collaborate with the attending physicians. Areas provided with nurse practitioner coverage included the emergency department and medical-surgical inpatients. Significant updates were immediately communicated with the attending, the hospitalist, and the multidisciplinary team as needed. Additional duties included scheduling staff, monitoring peer review, education, patient satisfaction, and quality improvement. The role of the nurse practitioner, as a hospitalist, has been successfully implemented throughout the healthcare system with significant quality improvement.
