PENN E-LERT® is a tele-ICU program that utilizes state of the art technology to provide a sophisticated layer of clinical support to the intensive care units (ICUs) throughout the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The program supports over 500 intensive care beds with Penn E-LERT deployed as a health system standard of care. Clinicians utilize 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 intensivist is a board-certified critical care intensivist physician with telemedicine as a subspecialty skill set. The intensivist must possess high-level skills in communication, decision-making, systems-thinking, and computer literacy, necessitated by the remote nature of the practice environment. The intensivist responds to routine, urgent, and emergent clinical problems and provides follow-up care to ensure resolution. The intensivist is an amicable member of a collaborative team responsible for providing tele-ICU services to a diverse population of critically ill adults across multiple hospital sites. The intensivist is confident, composed, responsive, and approachable when interacting with patients, families, and bedside clinicians via two-way camera technology. The intensivist requires visual acuity, keen hearing, clear distinctive speech, and manual dexterity. The intensivist role requires long periods of continued sitting or standing at a desk in an office setting.

Position is for a 7p-7a shift with all clinicians physically located in Philadelphia at the Penn Medicine Rittenhouse Campus. 

A career at Elert can help blend a mix of clinical skills and knowledge while being at the forefront of innovative technology. Our program will lend insight into building a more efficient alarm and best practice system to help guide real time decision making.
