Job description

Hybrid position- Must live within 100 miles of Rochester, MN, Mankato, MN, or Eau Claire, WI.

The Midwest Admission and Transfer Center (MATC) nurses must have a high acuity background with excellent triage and assessment skills. The MATC nurse is at the center of the patient transfer requests for Mayo Clinic Hospital- Rochester and multiple Mayo Clinic Health System hospitals, and patient safety must be the focus of all interactions. They will assess and triage patient clinical information as shared by the referring provider and utilize process flows, emergent and/or specialty algorithms and admission guidelines to assign patient at the right facility, at the right level of care with the right admitting service. The MATC facilitates conference calls between the referring provider and accepting physician. If patient concerns are identified, they communicate these concerns to the multidisciplinary team, including the referring provider and the receiving nursing unit for patient safety. The goals for the Midwest Admission and Transfer Center are: identification of the right patient; obtaining the right clinical information; determine the right level of care; the right accepting Mayo Clinic hospital and right accepting physician service. Determining the right level of care may necessitate the involvement of specific emergency telemedicine services. The MATC activates and supports emergency telemedicine services for specific patient populations. The MATC nurse maintains a comprehensive view of the patient admission and transfer process including helping to identify emergency transport needs and has a close partnership with the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) to expedite helicopter, fixed wing and critical care transport needs and requests.

The registered nurse (RN) is accountable for the coordination of nursing care, including direct patient care, patient/family education and transitions of care. The RN supports professional nursing practice across practice settings and across the continuum of care to meet the needs of the patient and family. The RN will function within the Mayo Clinic Nursing Professional Practice Model, which includes accountability for planning, implementing, evaluating and communicating all phases of nursing care for assigned patients. The ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice provide a basis for the practice of the RN. The RN provides leadership through activities such as preceptor role, informal and formal leadership roles, and quality improvement efforts. The RN delegates patient care according to skill level, experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability and availability of resources. The RN possesses excellent communication skills; is skillful in mentoring and teaching; and may participate on committees or projects. A subset of employees may be required to drive their personal vehicle as a part of the responsibility of their role.
