• Monday – Friday: 6:00 am to 6:00 pm (Occasional Weekends)
• Manages comprehensive sleep disorders and manages related medical conditions causing or contributing to the sleep disorder(s).
• Performs direct patient care as requested by VHA, but the specific division of synchronous care (clinics) and asynchronous care (sleep study interpretation, electronic consultations, and remote therapeutic monitoring) will depend on whether a provider is full-time or part-time. The expectation is the provider will complete new patient visits within 60 minutes and follow-up visits within 30 minutes.

• Evaluates patients (including physical examinations as necessary), orders appropriate testing, and facilitates order completion.
• Monitors status and completion of test results, reviews results, and discusses management plans with patients across a broad range of indications.
• Documents all patient interactions in the electronic health record (EHR). Providers will type their own notes into the EHR. EHR entries will be completed in the timeframe mandated by the patient's VA facility, typically within 24 hours of the clinical encounter.
• Communicates appropriately with Veteran's providers regarding sleep testing, follow-up, and management to ensure coordination of care.
• Functions efficiently and respectfully within a multidisciplinary and interprofessional sleep team.
• Appropriately documents and communicates all ordered test results to patients and providers within a timeframe consistent with VHA policy (within 14 days of availability of results or sooner if clinically indicated).
• Tracks completion of tests ordered and responds to inquiries and requests from schedulers as needed (e.g., for modifications to orders).
• Maintains board certification, meets CME requirements, and practices within scope of privileges.
