Other Comments/Additional info: Providers with recent experience providing IP care (within the past 5 years) is highly preferred. Experience with IP care within the past 10 years minimum. Though Length of stay tends to be on the longer side, the department does turnover some patients quickly; many with psychotic symptoms, co-morbid substance use, and other medical problems. There is no coverage responsibilities, evening, weekend, or night calls unless requested as we have coverage for these times of day. Admitting patients will be rare as most admissions will be done by the evening/night or weekend staff, and no admissions after 3pm. There will be a lead nurse and the same social worker (unless on vacation or out ill) with your team that meet with you daily to review all patients.
