Outpatient Psychiatry - Collaborative Care Psychiatrist Position

Join 2 other psychiatrists and 1 pain management nurse practitioner. In this role the Psychiatrist will dedicate 50% of their time meeting with primary care providers and or Care Manager and 50% focused on patient chart review. This is not a patient facing role.

Our Integrated Behavioral Health Dept. is part of our Primary Care team and has created 2 behavioral health consultation services based on the University of Washington AIMs model. The services include one program, called Tandem Care, that handles complex patients with diabetes or cardiovascular disease and a behavioral health condition. In this program the Psychiatrist and the Care Manager meet with each of the primary care providers each week for 30 minutes to discuss each of their patients who are up for review. The psychiatrist and the primary care provider work together to make recommendations on medications and the care manager follows up with the patient.

In the other model, Collaborative Care, the patient can be referred without a medical condition and only a behavioral health condition that meets criteria for collaborative care. In this model the psychiatrist meets weekly with the Care Manager without the primary care team. Both programs have been well received by our primary care physicians.

Most of the work week would be in the psychiatry department. If desired, however, if also primary care boarded, opportunities for Saturday Walk in clinics, or same day primary care appointments can be explored.
