Psychiatrist - Impact Health PC

Job Description: Board Certified Psychiatrist – Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)

Impact Health Psych is an affiliate of Impact Health PC, an independent Nurse Practitioner Group that provides contracted support to skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities throughout the Northeast. Our Psychiatric division operates in Connecticut and currently is developing an aggressive growth plan. Come be a part of this exciting opportunity!

We are currently seeking a Psychiatrist, primarily for consultative support, with at least 3 years’ experience in the skilled nursing facility space. Establishing yourself as a mentor, providing consultative support for our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, LCSW’s, Psychologists and Geriatricians will ensure Impact Health maintains high standard of practice our accounts rely on. Our team needs an experienced voice to provide consult regarding best approach for medication prescribing, treatment and care.

Impact Health will support and encourage a creative approach when faced with challenging case(s) or situations that require insight, patience, and diplomacy. While our providers are the go-to practitioner on-site, some situations require the expertise of a higher license. We are looking for an individual who demonstrates independence, leadership, and acts as a mentor to the team.

Working in today’s SNF’s requires keen insight and ability to anticipate outcomes and put an actionable plan in place to either avoid or achieve those outcomes. At times, your role may require liaison with facility Directors to align our team with their initiatives. A strong understanding of policies, procedures, and regulatory State statutes of SNF’s is a plus, along with experience related to compliance of coding, billing, prescribing, documentation and conduct.

This is a consultative position that requires availability during the work week for calls, consultation and the occasional patient visit necessary for competencies or emergencies. However, our team of NP’s, LCSW’s and Geriatricians are the first point of contact and capable of managing a great deal. The amount of time needed for on-site will be limited to vacation coverage or situations that necessitate Psychiatrist.

This role is compensated monthly, based on time spent consulting, attending to patients on-site and/or education of teams.

If you are interested, we want to hear from you. We look forward to meeting you!
