Post Job Descriptions
Author: DebNicholson
Date: Mar 15, 2010 1:05 pm
Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone had any job descriptions they could share for their CRNP, RN Coordinator and Physicians? Any help with this as we are beginning to write ours would be greatly appreciated. Our model will be consultatin based, scatter bed, CRNP with Physician Medical Director, Hospitalist back-up.
Any response could be E-mailed to debbienicholson@catholichealth.net

Thank-you

Dear Forum Administrator,
Thank you for your direction to the toolkit on the CAPC site for building a PC team. Many programs list professional chaplains as only peripheral members of the PC team, even though PC focuses on the care goals which often reflect the patients' meaning/quality of life. This tells me that chaplaincy is a core discipline of the ideal team. Why isn't there a job description for a chaplain included in this list?

In our case, we have a designated physician, social worker and administrative assistant- but the chaplain is only consulted on a case-by-case basis, again due to funding issues like so many other programs. What do you recommend as a resource for writing our own job description currently, with the hope for a FTE in the future?

With appreciation,
Susan
