Advanced Practice Provider (APRN/PA) - Open Access Primary Care - St. Petersburg

Job description

The Advanced Practice Provider (APRN or Physician Assistant) – Open Access provides comprehensive, patient-centered medical care across the continuum, with a primary focus on improving access, care transitions, and clinic efficiency. This role supports same-day access, post-hospital follow-up, pre-operative optimization, and overflow care for established provider panels.
The Open Access APP functions similarly to a primary care provider in clinical scope but does not maintain an independent patient panel. Instead, this role serves as a flexible, high-impact resource to enhance patient access, reduce delays in care, and support continuity across ambulatory and inpatient transitions.
The APP works both autonomously and in collaboration with physicians and interdisciplinary teams to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic health conditions. The APP will be held accountable for quality metrics, HCC coding , patient satisfaction, and chart closure data. The APP will work, in conjunction with the care team, to respond to patient messages, return patient phone calls, and follow-up on diagnostic testing. After hours and weekend call is required and is distributed evenly among all primary care providers. This position plays a critical role in improving patient outcomes, reducing hospital readmissions, and optimizing clinic throughput.
Current licensure as Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant in the State of Florida. FNP or dual Adult Gerontology Primary Care & Pediatrics board certification required for APRNs. At least one year of experience as an Advanced Practice Provider required.
