Description

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) - Flexible Telehealth

Brightside is dedicated to offering transformative mental health care to individuals regardless of their background, location, or circumstances. Our primary goal is to improve access to high-quality and impactful mental health care that is supported by scientific research and delivered with humanity. This is why we are revolutionizing the traditional approach by leveraging precision treatment that is rooted in evidence and tailored to each person's unique needs, ensuring that they receive the most effective treatment from the very beginning.

Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners Enjoy:

• Flexible & Remote Telemedicine: Evidence-based approach to psychiatric care via telemedicine, including asynchronous case review, video consultation, and e-prescribing, lowers the barriers to accessing high-quality and affordable care.
• Supportive and Collaborative Environment: To ensure the success of our patients and members, we have established dedicated teams for both member and provider support. Additionally, we facilitate collaboration between our providers and clinical leadership through 1:1 consultations, as well as encourage interaction among colleagues through internal communication forums.
• Measurement-Based Care: Our technology measures symptoms, adherence, and side effects weekly through the active treatment phase and automatically triggers treatment reviews if patients are not improving. We are redefining the provider-patient relationship, supporting encounter-based care with remote and proactive oversight enabled by technology.
• Machine Learning-Powered Clinical Decision Support: Contrary to conventional practice, data can help match patients to medications for better outcomes. Using machine learning and real-time data from patient monitoring, we are building a highly effective clinical decision support tool for prescribing.

Who We're Hiring:

We're seeking forward-thinking and experienced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners who understand the magnitude of the need and want to be part of the solution. Working with Brightside means the ability to practice with clinical autonomy alongside Psychiatrist support while creating a flexible work schedule.
