Utilize advanced electronic health record (EHR) systems like Epic, Cerner, or Athenahealth to document patient care activities comprehensively and accurately. Perform diagnostic evaluations including laboratory specimen collection, processing, and interpretation of results to support clinical decision-making. Provide acute pain management and assist with trauma medicine procedures in Level I or Level II trauma center environments. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams on discharge planning, case management, and long-term care strategies to ensure seamless patient transitions. Lead triage assessments in urgent care or emergency settings to prioritize patient needs effectively. Deliver specialized care for diverse populations such as pediatrics, geriatrics, behavioral health patients, or those with developmental disabilities or dementia.
