HUPlan RN - PRN

Summary: 

PENN E-LERT is a telemedicine critical care program that utilizes state of the art technology to provide a sophisticated layer of innovative clinical support to the intensive care units (ICUs) throughout the UPHS enterprise. Clinicians reside at a distant location on Penn Medicine campus and thus deploy software technology, hardware technology, and trended data analysis to proactively identify impending or evolving patient problems, continually offering real-time clinical decision support, in collaboration with the bedside clinicians, on conditions that require immediate attention. PENN E-LERT clinicians are experienced in critical care with a telemedicine-ICU subspecialty skill set. In addition to the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to function as a bedside critical care clinician, the E-LERT clinician must possess high-level skills in communication, collaboration, decision-making, systems-thinking, and computer literacy, necessitated by the remote nature of the practice environment. The E-LERT position requires visual acuity, keen hearing, clear distinctive speech, and manual dexterity. The E-LERT position requires long periods of continued sitting or standing at a desk in an office setting. The E-LERT position requires communication with bedside clinicians via two-way camera technology. The E-LERT clinician must be confident, composed, responsive, and approachable when diligently interacting with patients, families, and bedside clinicians via two-way audio-video technology.

Penn Medicine is dedicated to our tripartite mission of providing the highest level of care to patients, conducting innovative research, and educating future leaders in the field of medicine. Working for this leading academic medical center means collaboration with top clinical, technical and business professionals across all disciplines.
