Job Description

NURSE PRACTITIONER - Family Medicine at Greenhill (FMAG) is currently seeking an experienced nurse practitioner to care for a panel of primary care patients. Patients may be seen in one of our Wilmington two offices. The nurse practitioner will provide preventive and sick care as well as manage chronic diseases and some office-based procedures. Patients range from newborn to elderly, and we try to match the panel of patients with the interests and skills of each clinician.

WHAT MAKES FAMILY MEDICINE AT GREENHILL DIFFERENT?

Many nurse practitioners have become frustrated with the increasing administrative burdens, spending hours each day entering data into the EHR, completing forms, doing refills and returning phone calls. At FMAG we believe that clinicians should diagnose problems and treat patients and not be bogged down with administrative work.

Each clinician has a care management nurse to address patients’ questions and concerns and deal with refills and other requests, as well as clerical staff to complete preauthorization and other forms. Also, each clinician has the opportunity to have a scribe to write visit notes and retrieve data from the EHR while the clinician talks to the patient. We believe that clinicians are happier and more productive when they spend more time being clinicians and less time being data-entry clerks.

Access to Care

Our philosophy is to be as available to patients as possible, especially to populations that are more vulnerable and disadvantaged. We offer early morning and early evening appointments during the week as well as Saturday morning appointments and telemedicine appointments. We also offer daily walk-in slots where no appointment is needed.

Social Worker on Staff:
We believe in the importance of meeting patient’s mental health needs. We have hired a social worker who does counseling for our patients as well as assists with patients’ social problems and needs.

• Some early mornings and/or early evenings, and Saturday mornings once per month or less.
• Work collaboratively with team, including physicians, social worker, nurses, medical assistants, clerical staff, scribes, and managers.

Qualifications:

• Graduation from an Accredited Nurse Practitioner Program and current licensure to practice in the state of Delaware
