Job Description
Position Summary:
In collaboration with physicians, manages care delivery for critical care and surgical patients, and coordinates services provided by multiple disciplines within and outside the health system. Exercises independent judgment in the assessment, diagnosis and initiation of selected protocols/procedures. Provides educational support for patients/significant others, health team members and the community and coordinates QA/QI studies to measure outcomes of care.
The Gerber Foundation Neonatal Center is a Level IV neonatal intensive care unit and is the only hospital in West Michigan to offer this level of care. We also have the largest neonatal unit in the state of Michigan and are one of the nation's top 10 largest contiguous neonatal centers.
As a Level 4 unit, we are different from other units in that we are located within an institution with the capability to provide surgical repair of complex congenital or acquired conditions. In addition, we educate nursing students, medical students and medical residents. We are able to transport ill infants from outside hospitals. We also provide ongoing education for hospitals in our region in Michigan.
We are also one of the few neonatal centers in the country to have a designated space within the NICU for micro-preemies (babies born weighing less than two pounds). The small baby unit is designed specifically to meet the medically complex needs of these babies born at or before 27 weeks. All the staff working in this area have received extensive training in the complex care of these very fragile babies.
