Provide patient education on medication management, coping strategies, and discharge instructions. Assist in triage processes for emergency psychiatric cases and coordinate referrals for specialized services. Maintain compliance with HIPAA regulations and infection control standards throughout all patient interactions. Support long-term care initiatives in assisted living or memory care units by delivering tailored nursing interventions. Participate in quality improvement activities, including adherence to NCQA standards and ICD coding accuracy.

Familiarity with EMR/EHR systems such as Cerner or Epic; experience with medical documentation standards. Knowledge of psychiatric medications, including psychotropic agents and injection administration techniques. Strong understanding of mental health conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, dementia, and substance use disorders.

Excellent communication skills for patient education, team collaboration, and family interactions. Experience in trauma medicine, acute pain management, behavioral health interventions, and hospice/palliative care is advantageous.
