Clearlake, CA

5x8 hrs, Days

Description

"Coverage is roughly 8-5 M-F but the start is usually 830 with a 30 min lunch that varies between 11-130 depending on what is happening with the patients.

We have weekend coverage for physical therapy only, but the timing is not specific as it is based on the number of patients in the hospital that need to be seen. It is typically done at some point between 8-5 but occasionally runs late if the therapist has something else going on that day.

For a traveler – 25 bed Rural critical access hospital. 4 beds are ICU, 4 others assigned to women’s health (birthing suites). Activity/Rehabilitation room is in 319.

Scheduling is consistent but dynamic based on patient load. There is additional scheduled coverage from our outpatient clinic daily (2-4 hours), and need is determined daily during huddle in the morning and communicated with our Outpatient Lead Therapist. Weekend schedule is done by me personally, however; the time for the coverage is not specifically set.

Charting is done currently through powerchart.
