Job description

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner - Flexible Telehealth

Brightside Health is revolutionizing mental healthcare by delivering life-saving, virtual care to those who need it most. Powered by cutting-edge AI, purpose-built technology, and a world-class clinician network, our care model rivals the best in-person treatment. By combining precision psychiatry with advanced therapeutic techniques, we deliver exceptional outcomes for individuals facing mild to severe depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Recognized by top publications like Healthline, Fortune, and Forbes as'Most Comprehensive'and 'Best Online Therapy for Anxiety and Depression'and named Indeed's top remote company to work for in 2024, Brightside Health is leading the way in innovative, compassionate care.

Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners Enjoy:

• Flexible & Remote Telemedicine: Direct-to-consumer access via telemedicine, including asynchronous case review, video consultation, and e-prescribing, lowers the barriers to accessing high-quality and affordable care.

• Measurement-Based Care: In line with best practice, 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, replacing 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 antidepressant prescribing (and we do not prescribe controlled substances at Brightside).

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.

Benefits:

• 100% remote, telehealth position

• Collaborating psychiatrists covered for all psychiatric nurse practitioners (nationwide)

• Ongoing collaboration and comradery with other Brightside providers

• Health Insurance personalized plan recommendations through Stride Health partnership

• State-of-the-art tools and customizable EMR, integrated with artificial intelligence to prompt check-ins, follow-ups, and much more with your patients

Responsibilities:

• Maintain all appropriate licensure to prescribe and dispense medications under applicable state and federal laws

• Have excellent grammar, attention to detail, and efficient at writing medical information at a patient level

• Must be technology savvy and excited about how technology can improve medical care

• Be pleasant, responsive, and willing to collaborate with our team

• Provide direct patient care via telemedicine (remote)

• Evaluate patient records, make prescribing decisions, and provide medication-related counseling as needed in a timely manner
