Job description

Overview

Find Your Passion and Purpose in a dual role of Hospice Medical Director and Team Physician

Reimagine Your Career in Hospice

As a medical professional, you know that what you do impacts you as much as your patients and their families, and at AccentCare, we are united in our relentless drive to reimagine care because we want to provide the service we would seek for our own families. We think it’s really special to be a part of our patient’s health journey and create incredible memories while providing world‑class patient care.

The Hospice Medical Director (HMD) will be responsible for the overall medical direction of patient and family services. The HMD will work with the Executive Director, Director of Clinical Services, and Team Directors to plan and evaluate clinical services, serve on the Executive Team, support Provider Relations activities, and provide input to the CPI Committee. The HMD will assume a leadership role on the Ethics Committee.

In conjunction with the HMD responsibilities, the Team Physician will partner with the interdisciplinary care team and be a strong leader in Interdisciplinary Group (IDG) meetings to ensure that a care plan is in place, that a patient’s needs are well anticipated, and that all regulatory requirements are met. Committed to each patient’s experience, Team Physicians are required to participate in in‑person visits and virtual visits when appropriate. Documentation of visits is required to ensure that all patients have access to their benefits. The Team Physician will participate in a Call Coverage Rotation to ensure any needs that have not been anticipated during IDG are met and to serve those newly admitted. The AccentCare Medical Group expectation is that the Hospice Team Physician will exemplify what it means to be part of a Care Team and will lead learning initiatives with the Interdisciplinary Team and the community around end‑of‑life issues.
