Description

Job Summary:

The oversight of pain management and responsible opioid prescribing is an essential clinical practice. The Rehabilitation Medicine Associate’s vision is to inspire positive change in skilled nursing facilities and empower these facilities to provide the best pain management outcomes possible for patients. We provide on-site pain management care, working side by side with primary care providers to prevent functional decline, decrease pain, and reduce hospital admissions.

Rehabilitation Medicine Associates is seeking a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant who is passionate about quality of life and pain management. As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in providing quality care to patients in skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities. The position is Monday-Friday business hours. We offer flexible FTE or Part-time positions.

Job Description:

At RMA, we pride ourselves on managing acute and chronic pain onsite in skilled nursing facilities. Having pain providers on-site to treat pain is critical. APPs will provide specialized care to patients who suffer from various pain conditions, such as musculoskeletal, neuropathic, or centralized pain. APPs assess the risk of opioid-related problems and implement strategies to prevent or address them, including urine drug screening, risk assessment tools, prescription drug monitoring databases, and patient education.

APPs coordinate care with other providers such as primary care physicians and APPs, nurses, therapists, and palliative care teams, to ensure a patient-centered approach. Having pain management services onsite minimizes the need for families and staff to have to coordinate and pay for transportation to outside pain management facilities.
