Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit at Cobb...

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)

Number of Positions: 1.0

Position Status: New

Location: Cobb Hospital (Austell, GA)

A member of the Mayo Clinic Network, WellStar Health System is an 11-hospital system, recognized as one of the most integrated health systems in the United States, and one of the largest health systems in Georgia. WellStar is committed to investing in the communities we serve. To this end, we continue to develop innovative care models, focused on improving quality and access to healthcare, including individuals experiencing symptoms of a psychiatric and/or substance use disorder. Continuing this work, the WellStar Medical Group and Behavioral Health Service Line is excited to announce an opportunity for a compassionate and highly-skilled psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP).

We are currently recruiting for a new PMHNP to join our team to bolster support for patients who are receiving care on our 34-bed inpatient behavioral health unit at WellStar Cobb Hospital in Austell, GA. WellStar Cobb offers an array of on-site behavioral health programs, including an inpatient adult psychiatric unit, a consultation-liaison psychiatry service for medically-admitted patients with psychiatric disorders, a proactive emergency psychiatry service to evaluate and treat patients in the Emergency Department, and an outpatient behavioral health clinic.

We are currently recruiting a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to join our Behavioral Health team to bolster support for our patients with primary psychiatric and substance use disorders. The PMHNP filling this new role will work a 7 days on/7 days off schedule to provide care to patients in the inpatient behavioral health unit who are experiencing psychiatric crises stemming from mood and psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, etc. In addition to the prerequisite skills and competencies noted below, we are seeking highly-compassionate PMHNPs with a clear commitment to quality/safety and an orientation to team. If this is you, we invite and welcome your candidacy.

Working as a member of a multi-disciplinary team with the support of Wellstar psychiatrists, the care provided to patients in this role will occur physically on-site at Wellstar Cobb Hospital between the hours of 7a and 7p. These positions will be staffed on a block schedule, meaning that PMHNPs will work 7 consecutive day shifts, followed by 7 days off. This schedule affords clinicians optimal flexibility to reduce the potential of burnout, while also optimizing work-life balance.

Duties/Responsibilities

WellStar Cobb’s inpatient Behavioral Health Unit has 34 licensed general adult psychiatric beds, serving a moderate-to-high acuity patient population. Patients admitted to the Cobb unit are adults ages 18 and above with psychiatric, substance use, and dual diagnosis disorders. Responsibilities of the PMHNP include a range of clinical competencies and functions. (S)He will attend (and at times lead) daily treatment team meetings with inpatient unit staff. In collaboration with a multi-disciplinary treatment team, (s)he will develop treatment plans that are individualized and designed to optimize patient outcomes. (S)He will issue admission and discharge orders, prescribe medications for a heterogenous patient population, and work with the Cobb behavioral health team to ensure the highest quality of care. Reporting to the Medical Director of Cobb Behavioral Health, (s)he should possess baseline knowledge regarding appropriate medical clearance with psychiatric patients needing inpatient admission. (S)He should be familiar with (or willing to quickly learn) the legal hold process in the state of Georgia. (S)He should leverage their medical understandings to identify and rule-out co-occurring medical problems that could compromise care or introduce physical vulnerabilities in this population. (S)He should document clearly and efficiently in Epic, Wellstar’s electronic health record. Whereas this role requires that the PMHNP work with a level of independence, (s)he should consult, as needed, with attending psychiatrists to ensure the delivery of optimal care pathways that increase the likelihood of desired results.

Although the inpatient behavioral health unit is the primary and intended site of care, as a member of the Cobb Behavioral Health team, the PMHNP may help support other behavioral health needs at Cobb, as requested by the Medical Director. To manage the day to day realities of working in an acute behavioral health setting and to support the broader needs of the Cobb Behavioral Health program, a flexible and team-oriented person will be best suited for this role. Personal resilience and understanding of professional boundaries is needed. Likewise, the PMHNP should have the ability to establish and maintain relationships with physicians, nurses, and other clinicians. Helping to develop and promote a healthy culture of care is an imperative.

Ideal candidates for this role should possess emotional flexibility, an orientation towards teamwork, a commitment to patient safety, and excellent clinical judgment. (S)He should possess a genuine respect for patients as well as other members of the clinical team, which includes clinical and operational leaders, colleagues working in emergency services and emergency departments, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, physician assistants, educators and other professionals involved in the care of our patient population.

Primary clinical responsibilities include the following:
• Conduct thorough record reviews
• Conduct mental status evaluations and comprehensive psychiatric assessments of patients presenting with acute psychiatric and substance-related conditions

• Coordinate care and treatment with social workers, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure seamless continuity of care
• Collaborate with outpatient mental health providers and primary care physicians to develop and implement individualized care plans
• Monitor patients' progress, identify barriers to recovery, and implement appropriate interventions to promote successful transition to community-based care
• Communicate effectively with external providers, community resources, and social service agencies to facilitate access to necessary support services

Other responsibilities include:

• Participate in the evening psychiatric call rotation
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date electronic health records, documenting patient assessments, treatment plans, interventions, and outcomes via Epic
