Reporting to the Director of Nursing and Patient Services, Nurse Practitioner Specialists - Pediatrics (NPSSP) at Shriners Hospital will work within a subspecialty orthopedic clinic, enhancing the quality of the continuum of care for every patient and family who walks through the hospital's doors.

The NPSSP will advocate on behalf of patients while providing much of the care autonomously that the child needs according to his or her specialty class. When his field of expertise ends, his ability to navigate the healthcare system will enable him to coordinate and obtain the care each patient needs.

The ultimate role of the NPSSP will be to share their unique knowledge of the patient with other team members and, where necessary, ensure a meaningful, tailored and sensitive approach to treatment, truly embodying patient- and family-centered care.

The position provides leadership in updating evidence-based practices from academic sources related to clinical practice. It facilitates and promotes an environment of learning, continuing education, and research. It promotes the objectives set by nursing and patient services management and ensures the quality and safety of care.

The NPSSP must have a holistic approach to patient care and follow the “FOCUSED” model for care delivery and decision-making. They establish collaborative partnerships with patients and their families, physicians, the interdisciplinary team, and managers, ensuring good communication with these teams.
