New York City Health and Hospitals CorporationOutposted Therapeutic Housing Units Program (OTxHU)Since 2016, Correctional Health Services (CHS) has been the direct provider of health care in the New York City jails. Deeply committed to human dignity and patient rights, CHS is part of the NYC Health + Hospitals system and is a key partner in the Citys efforts to reform the criminal-legal system. Our in-jail clinical services include medical, nursing, and mental health care; pharmacy services; substance-use treatment; social work; dental and vision care; discharge planning; and reentry support. Given the high visibility of this initiative, we are seeking the highest caliber health care professionals in key clinical services to staff our Outposted Therapeutic Housing Units (OTxHU). To be located in three NYC Health + Hospital acute care facilities, the OTxHU is a pioneering approach to safely increasing access to high quality clinical care for patients in custody who have complicated health conditions. OTxHUs will bridge the gap in the continuum between care provided in the jails and inpatient hospitalization, with admission to and discharge from the OTxHU in accordance with a patients clinical needs. CHS will be the primary health care providers on these units and the NYC Department of Correction will provide security and custody management. The OTxHU at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue in Manhattan will be the first of this unique, groundbreaking project to open with a planned completion date as early as the end of 2024. This is an incredible opportunity to be part of a passionate and motivated team providing care to some of the Citys most marginalized, vulnerable people. *To help support continuity of operations and care, staff selected to work in the OTxHU may also be required to work in CHS locations within the jails. Additionally, while CHS seeks the most qualified individuals for these positions, preference will be given to equally qualified, internal candidates.Position OverviewUnder general supervision of the Deputy Chief Officer, assists with the planning, organizing, directing, coordinating and evaluating of nursing service and education programs in his/her/their facility.  His/her/their job entails providing nursing care as well as administration and management within the facility. He/she/they uses discretion and independent judgment in supervising and managing a team of licensed and/or unlicensed medical staff. He/she/they works with the other team members who provide health care services to the patients to coordinate and manage the treatment process.     Performs related work.Responsibilities1.
