Hospitalist - Value-Based Care

Hospitalist  - Value-Based Care 

Be part of the solution: our current healthcare system despite herculean efforts on the part of clinicians, often fails to provide coordinated, seamless care.  We know there is a better way. Our complex care eco-system model integrates care across multiple disciplines, keeping the patient in the center.  We care for medically complex patients in the hospital and in a variety of unique outpatient acute care settings.  Our goal is to provide optimal, big picture medical care that meaningfully impacts lives. 

We are looking for a growth minded internal medicine physician to split their clinical time between inpatient hospitalist work and complex urgent care for seniors. The common denominator is caring for complex Medicare advantage patients in unique and innovative ways, including alternatives to hospitalization. 

The most desirable candidate would have a strong background in adult medicine (hospitalist or similar), experience with high acuity care in complex patients, and comfort with prognostication.

• You would enjoy a schedule of 14-16 shifts/month (pro-rated for less FTE), including some afternoon swing shifts but no full overnight shifts.

• Hospitalist care: The Medical Hospitalist Team is well supported with strong relationships with the ICU, ER, specialists and hospice.  Our team has deep ties to Washington State University and is a training site for the new WSU internal medicine residency program: teaching is part of the hospitalist role.  There is also an option to work as a virtual hospitalist in our hospital at home model.

• Senior Advantage Clinic role: This clinic cares for our senior patients as an alternative to hospitalization and offers intensive outpatient treatment (multiple visits for several hours/day if needed).  The clinic can handle IV diuresis, IV antibiotics expedited virtual specialty consultation, imaging (including X-ray and CT), procedures, etc. Residents in the Washington State University IM residency also rotate through the senior advantage clinic.

The schedule is integrated amongst the various roles, and providers enjoy a balanced lifestyle that allows them to explore the natural beauty here, travel abroad, and spend time with family while practicing excellent and innovative clinical care with a supportive environment.  With The Everett Clinic you will experience:
