Massachusetts Hospitalist Opening
- A 160-provider multispecialty group in southeast Massachusetts is seeking to add a full-time Hospitalist physician to their established team.
- The position is open immediately upon licensure in Massachusetts and credentialing at the 2 local hospitals.
- They admit patients to both community hospitals in their area one is 350 beds and the other is 185 beds
- ICU admissions by the Hospitalists are rare, with no invasive procedures, intubations, or ICU management required.
- There is no major trauma, and Brown University (Rhode Island Hospital) or the Boston hospitals are resources for tertiary care.
- Their specialists are readily-available to assist in patient management, as are case managers and other support staff.
- Hospitalists work 7-on and 7-off, assigned to either of the hospitals for their week "block".
- There is a 12-hour rounding day shift (7 am 7 pm) and an admitting swing shift (1 pm 10 pm), and candidates must be willing to accept assignment to either shift.
- There are no required overnight shifts.
- For those Hospitalists who desire, opportunities may exist for additional shifts.
- Significant emphasis is placed on patient satisfaction, teamwork, and efficient care. The team is well-trained, supportive, and collegial.
- Salary is competitive, based on training and experience. Malpractice, health insurance, a 401k retirement plan, moving expenses, performance bonuses, and a CME allowance are included.
- The group is physician-owned and managed, so the Hospitalists are employed by the group rather than by the hospitals.
- They use an app-based charge-capture and billing system for their Hospitalists (MDCoder) in order to maximize efficiency and communicate using a HIPAA-compliant secure texting app.
- Both hospitals use Epic with voice-recognition software.
- This is a lovely area of the country, surrounded by water of various sorts. They are 20 minutes from Providence, Rhode Island, an hour from Boston, and 30 minutes from Cape Cod.
