Toronto Ontario CA, Ontario University Health Network Full time

The University Health Network, where “above all else the needs of patients come first”, encompasses Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, West Park Healthcare Centre and the Michener Institute of Education. The breadth of research, the complexity of the cases treated, and the magnitude of its educational enterprise has made UHN a national and international resource for patient care, research and education. With a long tradition of ground breaking firsts and a purpose of “Transforming lives and communities through excellence in care, discovery and learning”, the University Health Network (UHN), Canada’s largest research teaching hospital, brings together over 17,000 employees, more than 1,250 physicians, 8,000+ students, and many volunteers. UHN is a caring, creative place where amazing people are amazing the world.

Position Summary

The University Health Network is committed to high-quality and equitable care for all patients. Furthermore, UHN recognizes: the significant health gaps that continue to exist for patients with unmet health and social needs; the need for provision of health care at home for vulnerable seniors. To advocate for these patients, UHN established the new Gattuso Center for Social Medicine to transform how we deliver care for marginalized populations. In addition, the Toronto Western Family Health Team (TW FHT) operates a home-based primary care program to deliver primary care to homebound geriatric patients.

UHN’s Social Medicine Program/TW FHT is now hiring a Nurse Practitioner to address: the social determinants of health for patients with unmet complex medical and social needs; the health needs of homebound vulnerable seniors. The Social Medicine Program and TW FHT home-based primary care program are responsible for caring for patients who are high-utilizers of UHN Emergency Department and other inpatient units. As part of a team, the Nurse Practitioner will work closely with the Social Medicine Community Health Worker, the UHN Toronto Western Family Health Team, and provide mobile health services in the community and within patient’s homes.

The Nurse Practitioner provides advanced nursing care that optimizes patient outcomes, enhances safety, efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility to health care for these patients. The Nurse Practitioner works alongside other nurse leaders, physicians, and an interprofessional team both at UHN, the TW FHT, the Toronto Central LHIN as well as with Community Led Organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate best practices to deliver holistic care.

The Nurse Practitioner will collaborate with clinicians, Peer Workers, and community-led organizations on the development of a comprehensive plan to help address individual client’s social and complex medical needs. Further, the Nurse Practitioner will work as part of the TW FHT home-based primary care program. The Social Medicine Program and TW FHT utilize different health information systems; the Nurse Practitioner will be responsible for timely documentation in the respective systems. The Nurse Practitioner will be expected to perform cross-functional and/ or other duties consistent with the job classification; scheduling and hours may be flexible to meet program/ patient needs. Transportation will be required, in accordance with UHN’s reimbursement for mileage. The role will be split 50:50 between the Social Medicine Program and the TW FHT.
