As MRP, a physician will:
• Be responsible for ensuring coverage for the patients in their assignment, including but not limited to the following:

Conducting rounds a minimum of weekly before noon on the preassigned day. NOTE: exceptions to the preassigned day are acceptable provided they are communicated in advance to the Director of Care and/or Clinical Leader.
- Responding to phone calls from unit staff to address issues between 0800 and 1700 hrs on regular business days, and provide a hand-off to the on-call physician where needed/appropriate.
- Working collaboratively with co-MRPs to avoid having more than two MRP’s from the same floor on vacation at the same time. The MRP is responsible for ensuring coverage for their patients during their absences from within the group of credentialed physicians at SJCCC. NOTE: when another physician is covering for the MRP, he/she must attend the facility to conduct rounds to ensure a physical presence on the preassigned rounds day for that MRP assignment.
- Accepting phone calls or on-site requests for patients in other MRP assignments requiring urgent attention, and where the assigned MRP is not present and/or available.
- Conducting additional onsite visits and telephone follow-ups as required.
Visits should include appropriate assessment in the patient’s room, diagnosis, communicating diagnoses to patients and substitute decision-makers and discussing treatment options, ordering of necessary tests and procedures, obtaining consent for orders, reviewing test results and acting upon results.
Communicate as needed with physicians and other allied health professionals to facilitate the care of the patients.
Communicate with sending physicians/NPs for new admissions to address outstanding questions or missing information in the admission package.

Participate in discharge planning and communication to the patient/family, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary team.
Communicate effectively and collaborate with the patient and/or significant others, and interdisciplinary team in a timely fashion.

- Admission Note within 24 hours of patient admission that clearly sets out the reason for admission (unless History and Physical Exam and provisional diagnosis is recorded within this timeframe);
