• Document assessments, clinical decisions, and disposition plans clearly and accurately in the EMR.


• Communicate effectively with patients, families, referral sources, and overnight clinical teams to ensure timely and coordinated care.


• Support safe dispositions, address emerging safety concerns, and provide thorough handoffs to daytime providers and interdisciplinary teams.
