What you'll be doing
The primary purpose of an Advanced Trainee in Emergency Hospital in the Home (EHITH) Service is to provide high quality medical care under appropriate supervision to undifferentiated frail older and disabled younger patients at home. Trainees undertaking the care of medical patients should ensure that they operate within their own level of expertise within a collaborative clinical care model and to seek consultation with their colleagues when appropriate. Advanced Trainees work under a level of supervision according to their competence in the following activities:
- Taking a leadership role in coordinating the admission, assessment, management, and discharge planning of patients seen in their own homes
- Communicating assessment and management decisions to other staff including extended care paramedics, nurses and allied health practitioners involved in the patient's care.
- Communicating with the patient / family regarding the patient's condition and management plans
- Coordinating diagnostic tests and consultations with other medical specialists and other services as needed
- Arranging the patient discharge process and liaising with general practitioners, the patient’s specialists and community based care modalities for optimal post discharge care.
Sydney Local Health District's vision incorporates NSW Health Core Values and a commitment to equity, health improvement, timeliness and efficiency, recognising that evidence-based service delivery requires highly skilled and valued staff supported by research, education and state-of-the-art technologies.
Our strategic priority under this vision is our commitment to excellence in Patient and Family Centre Care. Staff are supported to ensure patients, their families and carers are considered as partners in care to achieve optimal patient outcomes and best possible healthcare experience.
