• Case Review & Asynchronous Consultation – Review clinical information and medical records prepared by the care team, focusing on patients who are new to the caseload or not progressing under their current treatment plan. Provide clear, actionable next-step recommendations.
• Documentation & Timeliness – Complete all case consultation and patient visit documentation within 24 hours.
• Population Health Management – Partner with care managers to monitor caseload status, using FamilyWell’s registry to track patients, identify priorities, and guide treatment adjustments.
• Education & Mentorship – Equip care teams with training and resources to effectively diagnose and manage behavioral health conditions.
• Team Development – Onboard and mentor new psychiatric team members to maintain high-quality, consistent care.

• Leadership Experience – proven leadership or supervisory experience within clinical environments.
