Home Hospital Physician for Hybrid Work Model- Full Time and Part Time Opportunities

Mass General Brigham Medical Group is expanding our Home Hospital programs and are looking for physicians interested in delivering exceptional patient care in an innovative care model throughout the Greater Boston area.

INNOVATIVE HOME HOSPITAL ROLE FOR CREATIVE GENERAL INTERNIST

The Home Hospital Physician treats acutely ill patients in the home as a substitute for in-hospital care. The Home Hospital Physician is a forward-thinking, creative individual who wants to practice in an innovative clinical setting and values interdisciplinary teamwork and patient-centered care. The Physician will provide hospital-level acute care in a patient’s home and will be part of the Home Hospital team including Registered Nurses, Community Paramedics, Advanced Practice Providers, Pharmacists, Case Managers, Social Workers, Home Health Aides, Physical Therapists, and other operational staff. The Physician will be the attending of record for patients admitted to the Home Hospital service. Our program serves patients throughout the Mass General Brigham network, including Brigham & Women Hospital, Brigham & Women- Faulkner, Mass General Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and Salem Hospital.

Responsibilities of the Home Hospital Physician include medical decision-making, patient evaluations through a combination of in-person and virtual visits tailored to the patients’ needs, documentation, oversight of and collaboration with the Home Hospital team, periodic teaching to team members, and being “on call” for patient needs overnight with the support of a Community Paramedic team who makes in-person overnight visits. In addition to their clinical duties, Home Hospital physicians may have the opportunity to participate in care redesign initiatives and/or mentored research and innovation projects.

Full-time and part-time positions are available. Home Hospital physicians are typically scheduled for blocks of up to 7 days, which may consist of patient rounding (field-based), coordination and virtual team support, and admitting (primarily hospital-based). Virtual night-time coverage will be needed occasionally. Home Hospital physicians may provide direct care and/or collaborate with Advanced Practice Providers.
