Family Medicine Solo job located in Delaware

(Login for Information) (FMAG) is currently seeking an experienced Family Nurse Practitioner to join our family and care for a panel of primary care patients. Our philosophy is to be as available to patients as possible, especially to populations that are more vulnerable and disadvantaged.  We offer scheduled early morning and late evening appointments, walk-in appointments during the week as well as scheduled Saturday morning and telemedicine appointments. Patients may be seen in one of our two locations in Wilmington.

What makes (Login for Information) different?

Nurse Practitioners have become frustrated with the increasing administrative burdens and spending hours each day entering data into the EHR, completing forms, sending refills and returning phone calls.  We believe clinicians should diagnose problems and treat patients, not be bogged down with administrative work.  Our chronic care management team is here to address patients’ questions, concerns, refills and other requests, as well as clerical staff to complete preauthorization and other forms.  Also, each clinician can have a scribe to write visit notes and retrieve data from the EHR while the clinician talks to the patient.  We believe that clinicians are happier and more productive when they spend more time being clinicians and less time being data-entry clerks.
