Job Description:
Mercy is currently seeking a board-certified Internal Medicine
or Family Medicine physician with acute inpatient care experience
to join our new and exciting Mercy Hospital-at-Home program in St.
Louis. Missouri. As part of Mercy's mission to transform the care
experience, we are launching a new Mercy Hospital-at-Home (HaH)
program, in partnership with Maribel Health, to provide acute-level
hospital care to patients in the comfort of their homes.
Mercy and Maribel - Hospital at Home
Patients who have presented to the Emergency Department and have
acute care needs that require hospitalization are thoroughly
screened and admitted in the Mercy HaH Program. Once "admitted",
these patients are transported home to receive all the acute care
services during the typical 3-5-day admission. This includes twice
daily nursing visits, daily physician visit, 24/7 medical direction
oversight, medication management, equipment, and all additional
program support during HaH episode of care.
Hospital-at-Home Physician
The HaH Physician is a physician leader with strong acute care
experience and comfort with providing high-quality patient-centered
care to acutely ill patients at home. In this role, the physician
will provide daily acute care to patients on the HaH services in
both a virtual and in-person capacity and oversee the medical
direction and overall care of the patients with support from the
HaH interdisciplinary team. The HaH Physician will provide
continuity between care settings, ensure home care and acute care
protocols are seamlessly integrated in the home settings, and
function as a lead clinician in the home environment.

About Mercy Virtual Care:
The first of its kind, Mercy Virtual Care Center began operating in
October 2015 without a single patient in the building. Mercy
Virtual delivers virtual care services to 600,000 patients across
seven states, improving patient outcomes and access while reducing
the total cost of care. Operating 24 hours a day and is staffed
with more than 300 clinicians, it's often called a hospital without
beds. The virtual care programs creatively combine people and
technology to extend Mercy's reach and services well beyond the
walls of doctors' offices, hospital campuses and other traditional
facilities.
Your life is our life's work
Working with Mercy provides all the advantages of a large
organization balanced by an uncompromising commitment to engage
physicians in leading and designing patient- and consumer-centric
care. You'll discover a friendly and collaborative environment
rooted in the belief that everyone deserves the most personalized
experience we can deliver. What sets us apart is our unique
approach, beginning with physician leadership at the senior most
roles within our organization and continuing into our care
