What you will do
Perform the intake and assessment of patients which will include a mental status exam, collection of relevant psychosocial history, diagnosis of psychiatric presentations, development of an appropriate individualized treatment plan (to include measurable goals, objectives and outcomes), and development of discharge plans that effectively support the patient at home or in the community.
The therapist will be familiar with the most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders for the purpose of developing accurate diagnosis of the patient. In addition, the therapist will be familiar with and have a basic understanding of psychological reports, psychopharmacology, and relevant treatment modalities specific to common mental health diagnoses (eg: depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, etc)
The therapist should be able to provide individual, family and group treatment when appropriate. The Director of Clinical Services may review treatment plans, and a high standard of practice shall be maintained at all times by the therapist.
A productivity standard will be met by the outpatient therapist. 80% of the therapist’s schedule will reflect direct patient care; this equates to a therapist having a schedule that reflects a minimum of 6 scheduled sessions per day. The therapist will be responsible for managing “no shows” and cancellations by patients. If a patient cancels with less than 24 hours it is to be counted as a “no show”.
The therapist will initiate discharge planning at the time of admission. The therapist will accomplish this by assisting the patient in identifying appropriate treatment goals, identifying reasonable timelines, providing the patient with education specific to their diagnosis and treatment and assisting the patient in developing realistic expectations concerning their treatment and prognosis.
Flexibility by the therapist will be required to meet the scheduling needs of the patient.
When required and as appropriate, the therapist will participate and present in multi-disciplinary team meetings.
The therapist’s services must meet the minimum requirements as specified by CMS, Kancare and all other insurance entities public or private.
The therapist must be able to meet organizational and department standards regarding punctuality and attendance, produce timely and accurate documentation, meet HIPPA and corporate compliance standards and support the overall mission and goals of Stormont Vail Behavioral Health.
As experts in Behavioral Health, therapists will work to educate the community and others in SVH about mental health issues and treatments. This includes trainings, committees and responding to media requests.
