• Collaboration with Healthcare Team:
• Work closely with physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers to implement and adjust patient care plans.
• Participate in daily rounds to discuss patient progress, care needs, and treatment adjustments.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including physical therapy, social work, and dietitians, to provide holistic care to patients.
• Emergency Response and Critical Care:

• Provide immediate interventions, including CPR, advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), or other life-saving measures, in collaboration with the healthcare team.
• Manage patients who experience acute changes in their condition, escalating care as necessary (e.g., transferring to ICU if required).
• Documentation and Reporting:
• Maintain accurate, timely, and thorough documentation of all assessments, interventions, patient responses, and communications in the electronic health record (EHR).
• Ensure that patient information is up-to-date and readily available for other healthcare professionals involved in patient care.
