About the role:
As a Virtual Float Advanced Practice Clinician (APC), you are a flexible capacity anchor and coverage partner for our longitudinal care pods. You do not carry a permanent, dedicated patient panel. Instead, you step into other providers' panels to deliver high-quality virtual care during their absences, working frequently alongside an in-home Health Advocate.
To ensure clinical continuity and smooth operational handoffs, each part-time clinician in this pool allocates a designated, set number of hours per week specifically to inbox management, urgent clinical triage, and results follow-up for the covered panels.
How Coverage is Scheduled:
- Planned Coverage: Your clinical blocks are confirmed at the start of each month to backfill known PTO and planned absences
- This forms the basis of your committed hours
- Dedicated Inbox Windows: A fixed portion of your weekly hours is pre-scheduled to manage the floating inbox queue, ensuring care loop closure
- Short-Notice Flex (optional): You may opt into pre-agreed day-time flex windows to be activated for same-day call-outs
- This is voluntary, defined in advance, and operates strictly within core weekday business hours
Responsibilities will include:
- Essential Functions
- Patient Care & Panel Coverage
- Conduct comprehensive virtual onboarding, annual, transition-of-care, and follow-up visits - facilitated by an in-home Health Advocate or fully virtual - completing biopsychosocial assessments and managing complex chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes, COPD, heart disease)
- Order and follow up on labs and imaging to inform immediate treatment plans
- Deliver targeted health coaching, lifestyle counseling, and disease-specific education to support patient self-management
- Execute thorough, documented clinical handoffs back to the primary longitudinal care pod at the close of each coverage block
- Systematic Inbox & Triage Management
- Dedicate a set number of scheduled hours each week to clearing the centralized Float Pool queue: signing off normal results, managing critical medication refills, contacting patients with updates on abnormal results , and routing complex issues to permanent care teams
- Provide rapid results management and urgent clinical triage for virtual and hybrid providers during their absences
- Quality & Collaboration
- Support preventative-care quality campaigns, including focused outreach and HEDIS/STARs gap closure
- Provide real-time clinical guidance to Health Advocates during virtual visits; coordinate with behavioral health, nursing, pharmacy, and external providers
- Possible attendance of weekly Multidisciplinary Care Conferences (MDCC) as needed to support care coordination for complex patients
- Maintain accurate, timely, compliant EMR documentation with rigorous diagnostic coding and adherence to evidence-based care plans
- Other Job Functions
- Performs other duties as assigned
What makes you a fit for the team:
- Clinical Detective: You excel at jumping into unfamiliar charts, investigating across systems quickly, and safely managing complex chronic patients with minimal ramp
- Highly Adaptable: You thrive amid shifting priorities and float comfortably between provider panels while maintaining clinical excellence
- Mission-Driven: Deeply committed to serving historically underserved populations through an integrated, tech-enabled model
- Tech-Forward: Fluent with telehealth platforms and enthusiastic about incorporating emerging tools, software, and AI-enabled clinical workflows into daily practice to maximize efficiency
Desired skills and experience:
- Required
- Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) license
- Active NP/PA licensure in at least one of the following core markets: MI, MA, or CO (with a willingness to obtain additional state licenses as requested)
- Active DEA registration and state controlled-substance license.
- Current BLS certification
- 3+ years of experience in adult primary care, family medicine, urgent care, or emergency medicine
