Hospice Liaison Nurse
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end; we must remove that. Also remove "Conditions of Employment" maybe? It includes valid driver's license and automobile insurance; that's substantive (licensure). Keep that.
We need to parse the posting into sections.
Let's extract:
About the role: The first paragraph: "The Gilchrist Hospice Care (GHC) Hospice Liaison Nurse generates & facilitates patient admissions from hospital-based referral sources, promotes growth of admissions, performs or coordinates clinical assessments of patients, and is responsible for meeting GHC goals for successful relationships within Gilchrist service area hospitals. The Hospice Liaison Nurse establishes and nurtures external professional relationships, maintains awareness of local medical markets, provides clinical or psychosocial assessments of prospective patients when necessary, and represents GHC and its spectrum of services in a competent, professional manner consistent with the organization’s goals. Admits patients accepted into the Mobile Hospice Response beds and continues to case manage throughout the GIP hospital stay and will foster and collaborate with hospital staff on appropriate discharge planning."
That's a good summary.
Responsibilities: The "Principal Duties And Responsibilities" section includes many bullet-like sentences. We can turn into list items.
Requirements: Education, Experience, Licensures, Certifications, Physical Requirements maybe. Could be separate but we can combine into Requirements.
Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements; but we can treat "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" as Skills section. Qualifications maybe. However the instruction says use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have Education, Experience, Licensure, Physical Requirements -> could go under Requirements.
Qualifications maybe include "Ability to market to and deal tactfully with customers..."? Actually that's under Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. But we could treat Qualifications as "Education Diploma, ADN, and/or BSN..." etc. However we already used that in Requirements. Might be overlapping. To avoid duplication, we need to decide distribution.
Better: Requirements: Education, Experience, Licensure, Physical Requirements. Qualifications: maybe "Ability to market to and deal tactfully with customers..."? But that's more skills. Hmm.
Alternatively, we could treat Qualifications as the combination of education/experience/license etc, and Skills as the knowledge, skills and abilities list. But then Requirements could be something else like "Must possess current Maryland State license as a Registered Nurse Valid driver’s license and safe driving record and an automobile that is insured in accordance with GHC requirements Physical Requirements ..." Actually those are also qualifications.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Education/Experience/License/Physical under Requirements, and put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Skills. Then we might not need Qualifications section (skip if no specific content). But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. If we skip Qualifications, that's fine.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay.
Check if any Benefits or Schedule: none.
Now we need to extract list items for Responsibilities from "Principal Duties And Responsibilities". That section includes many sentences; we can break each sentence into a list item.
Also we need to include "Account Management Responsibilities" and "Liaison Direct Patient Care Services" subheadings? But we should not add extra headings beyond h3 for sections; we can just list all duties as list items.
