The Nurse Practitioner works closely with the onsite EMT, offsite RN Coordinator, Chief APP, and Medical Director. Care is delivered within the provider’s licensed role, population focus, demonstrated competencies, and applicable Texas physician-delegation and prescribing requirements.

Essential responsibilities

• Order and review diagnostic testing and prescribe medications within applicable Texas authority, physician delegation, and approved clinical protocols.
• Assess and manage workplace concerns, including musculoskeletal injuries, wounds, burns, heat-related illness, and exposures, within demonstrated competency and established protocols.
• Recognize conditions requiring emergency evaluation, specialist consultation, or a higher level of care, and arrange timely escalation.
• Provide clear work-status recommendations, including functional restrictions, anticipated duration, and reassessment plans.
• Complete and submit the Texas Workers’ Compensation Work Status Report, DWC Form-073, when appropriately delegated and applicable to the employee’s claim, following required reporting timelines.
• Follow cases through recovery by reassessing symptoms and function, reviewing test results, adjusting treatment plans, and arranging referrals.
• Coordinate with the RN Coordinator on appointments, follow-up needs, and return-to-work planning.
• Escalate worsening symptoms, delayed recovery, complex cases, and clinical concerns to the Medical Director or other appropriate provider.
• Evaluate concerns referred by the onsite EMT or RN Coordinator and provide clear clinical instructions consistent with established protocols, physician delegation, and each team member’s authorized role.
• Document findings, treatment, work status, disposition, and follow-up promptly in the designated clinical system.

• Effective communication and coordination skills with employees, clinical colleagues, and employer representatives.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality while working in an employer-based clinical setting.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in occupational medicine, urgent care, emergency care, or a comparable adult injury-care setting.
