Posting Note: This position is based at our Thomas campus and provides primarily telehealth clinical care. The role follows a Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm standard schedule. Due to the nature of the schedule and responsibilities, strong clinical autonomy and independent decision-making skills are essential.
Position Summary:
The clinician in this role provides timely, expert response to patients who screen positive—both acute and non-acute—on the Ask Suicide-Screening Questionnaire (ASQ) across outpatient care settings. Responsibilities include prompt triage, comprehensive risk assessment, and delivery of ongoing therapeutic care.
In addition to consult coordination and clinical evaluation, the clinician will employ evidence-based therapeutic interventions focused on safety planning, means reduction, and discharge planning. This includes facilitating transitions of care and engaging patients and families in treatment planning as an independently licensed provider.
The role functions as part of an interdisciplinary team, delivering a continuum of care that spans inpatient and outpatient services. It requires proficiency in evidence-based treatment modalities, mandated reporting, resource navigation (including financial and community supports), advocacy within external systems, and collaboration with medical staff.
This position is evolving in response to patient volume trends and system-wide data analysis, with the goal of optimizing preventative care and maintaining responsiveness to the dynamic needs of our patients, families, and hospital system.
