The incoming provider will come into a daily census of 5 to 10 patients per day, rarely does the patient volume exceed double digits. The hospitalists will be performing the admissions and discharge. This position is predominately consultative, with about 4-5 scope in the morning followed by rounding with APP support. Once the incoming provider has completed their rounds, they are free to go home. For ERCP calls, the provider must be within a 30-minute radius and is shared with Locum's provider. Although EUS is not required, it is preferable, right now ERCP is averaged to about 200 per year.
The clinic has four Endo Suites, but the incoming provider will only be running two of those rooms. This position is 100% consultative and may involve one to two procedures per day. We are open to an interventional GI or General GI, while the schedule is 7/7, we are open to a more general schedule of Monday-Friday, with the accepting of a four-day work week.
The current locums' provider handles all inpatients, with a few operations, but they take most of the calls. CRNAs are there, but 80% of the MSDC established physiologist but their protocol-based anesthesia so that's kind of the main thing most of them are looking whether it's conscious sedation versus anesthesiologist, basically they're all getting protocol.
The incoming provider will have their own dedicated team for at least half the day of the morning and afterward. If they continue to have their procedures most of the time, they could get the same team to continue. Sometimes we have to batch with other kinds of cases and things but most of the time they will have their own team starting from 7:30 am. Maybe a little bit more, depending on how early we know about their requirement cases and stuff. How many that's the kind of a plus point is that there are a lot of places that must wait around for other places to get done. Whereas here we have made it in a way that at least half a day they will have their anesthesiologist, Nurse tech everybody will be there at the hospital
