• Document patient progress and treatment recommendations in EHR and other required systems to be shared with medical providers, psychiatric consultants, and other treating providers.
• Facilitate treatment plan changes for patients who are not improving as expected in consultation with the medical provider and the psychiatric consultant and who may need more intensive or more specialized mental health care.
• Actively participate in process improvement by identifying areas of inefficiency and contributes to opportunities for enhancement.
• Attend meetings and complete therapy primary by video conference with periodic (approximately once a month) visits in person to clinics to connect with the clinicians and administrators to ensure collaborative workflows are in place.
