_STGi is actively seeking a qualified Mental Health-Advanced Provider to provide services at our Hopkinsville, KY CBOC. _

The APRN working in an integrated care setting functions differently than providers working in general or subspecialty mental health. In PCMHI, the APRN is part of a primary care team and functions in a consultative as well as direct treatment role. While PCMHI is primarily a population-based approach focusing on uncomplicated mental health conditions commonly encountered in primary care, the addition of a psychiatric APRN allows for co-management of more complex conditions when indicated. It is critical that the psychiatric APRN in PCMHI has a broad base of knowledge, skills, and abilities to address the wide variety of mental illnesses that may be encountered in the population. The psychiatric APRN is a key member of the overall mental health team and serves a critical role in the continuum of care. The role and responsibilities of the psychiatric/mental health advanced practice registered nurse includes mental health screening and evaluation, comprehensive mental health assessment, differential mental health diagnosis, formulation of a treatment plan, psychotherapy interventions, psychobiological interventions, case management activities, clinical supervisory activities, mental health promotion activities, and preventive interventions. Duties include, but not limited to the following:

• Provides ongoing support to other PACT members. While primary care providers often provide routine medication initiation and management, in many instances it may be preferable for the psychiatric APRN to initiate medication and either treat to target or support PCP continuation of medication, either directly or by supervision of care management.
• Performs direct in-person or virtual face to face assessment and treatment when indicated. This assessment includes a mental status examination and DSM diagnosis.
• Communicates frequent with other primary care staff and attends primary care service meetings.
• Provides chart-based consultation, including E-consults as needed/requested.
• Maintains availability for informal and "curbside" consults as needed by PACT members. Ensures ongoing availability for urgent or emergent situations.
• Provides diagnostic clarification when needed.
• Routinely attends PACT huddles for informal consultation and education of the team. - Offers and provides formal education sessions as desired by other team members.
