As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community. We place great value on being a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization as we aim to reflect the diversity of the patients we serve.

Job Summary
General Overview
The Surgical Home Hospital Advanced Practice Provider (HH APP) will be part of a clinical team that provides acute level care to surgical (operative and non-operative) patients in the comfort of their own home.


The MGB (Mass General Brigham) Home Hospital (HH) is an innovative strategic service line aiming to improve patient care by shifting
it out of hospitals and into the home-based environment, increasing hospital capacity and reducing total costs of care.


The Surgical Home Hospital Advanced Practice Provider will support the work of the Surgical Home Hospital by evaluating (either in person or virtually) and managing patients in their home as a direct Surgical Home Hospital
provider, supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes an Attending Surgeon (who oversees the direction of care for patients enrolled), a Home Hospital nurse, a paramedic (Mobile Integrated Health), an administrative
coordinator, and other allied staff as needed (e.g. home health aide, physical therapist).
The Surgical Home Hospital APP will work with the inpatient surgery teams at all five participating MGB Hospitals (MGH, BWH, Salem, Faulkner,
NWH) to identify patients (both operative and non-operative) admitted to the hospital-based Surgery Service or in the Emergency Department who can be admitted to the Surgical Home Hospital service.


The Surgical HH APP will screen for appropriate patients, communicate with the hospital-based Surgery teams about appropriate patients, consent patients for admission, and subsequently manage patients on the Surgical Home Hospital Service. These patients may be in the Emergency Department and deemed appropriate for direct admission to Surgical Home Hospital, admitted to the Surgery inpatient service and deemed appropriate for transfer to the Surgical HH Service &/or be elective surgery patients who in the pre-operative setting were identified as appropriate for transfer to HH in the postop setting.


Upon admission to the Surgical Home Hospital service, the Surgical HH APP will see the patient either in the brick & mortar hospital, in person in the patient's home or virtually.
