We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must remove boilerplate: internal caregiver question, CLICK HERE, Exemption Status, Hiring Range? Actually Pay: we have Hiring Range: $15.00 - $23.32 (based on full time schedule). Also note final offer will vary based on scheduled hours. That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule Details: Holidays - Every Other Holiday, Monday through Friday, Weekends - Every Other Weekend Scheduled Hours: 11P-7A Shift: 3 - Night Shift, 8 Hours (United States of America) Hours: 40. So schedule info. Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of signing bonus maybe: "This position may have a signing bonus available a member of the Recruitment Team will confirm eligibility during the interview process." That's a benefit? Could be considered benefit. But it's vague. Might include Benefits section with signing bonus possibility. However rule: only include section when posting has real, specific content. Signing bonus is mentioned but not specific amount. Might still be considered content. Could include Benefits with that note. About the role: The introductory paragraphs about UMass Memorial Health, mission, etc. Also "Under the direction of the appropriate licensed clinician, the Patient Care Technician I performs a variety of patient care activities." That's about role. So we can put About the role. Responsibilities: The list of duties under "I. Major Responsibilities:" and later "Job Description I. Major Responsibilities:" duplicates. We need to preserve all substantive info but not duplicate lines. We'll combine unique responsibilities. Requirements: Might be separate from Qualifications? The posting has "License/Certification/Education:" then "II. Position Qualifications:" then "Experience/Skills:" then "For TA Purposes: PCA II". Also later "Required: All responsibilities are essential job functions..." etc. This is messy. We need to extract qualifications, requirements, skills. We can treat: - Requirements: Minimum of a high school education or GED. Basic Life Support certification within 30-days as a condition of employment. Ability to read, write and communicate in English in a clear and concise manner. Basic computer skills. Basic Medical Terminology knowledge. Must be able to remain calm when under stress or in emergency situations. - Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements? Actually "Position Qualifications" includes same as above plus maybe "Prior inpatient/outpatient care experience or clinical care training." Also "Demonstrated competency attainment in the Patient Care Technician I level, work a minimum of 800 hours and at least 6 months as a PCA I." That's for PCA II? Actually that seems for PCA II qualification. The posting includes both PCT I and PCA II? The role is Patient Care Technician I? The text includes both. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll include qualifications: Minimum of a high school education or GED. Current Basic Life Support. Ability to read, write and communicate in English. Basic computer skills. Basic Medical Terminology. Must remain calm under stress. Additionally: Demonstrated competency attainment in the Patient Care Technician I level, work a minimum of 800 hours and at least 6 months as a PCA I. Prior inpatient/outpatient care experience or clinical care training. Strong interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities. - Skills: Could list: Communication, computer skills, medical terminology, interpersonal, problem-solving, ability to remain calm, etc. Might overlap. We need to avoid duplication but preserve all info. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But rules ask to use headings for each if content exists. We can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections each with distinct bullet points. We need to decide what goes where. Let's parse: From early part: "License/Certification/Education: II. Position Qualifications: Required: Minimum of a high school education or GED. Basic Life Support certification within 30-days as a condition of employment. Experience/Skills: Required: Ability to read, write and communicate in English in a clear and concise manner. Basic computer skills Basic Medical Terminology knowledge. Must be able to remain calm when under stress or in emergency situations For TA Purposes: PCA II - Under the direction of the appropriate licensed clinician, and in keeping with unit specific standards, provides patient care to meet the personal needs and comfort of patients; and assists members of the healthcare team. In order to become a PCT II a caregiver must meet the full competencies outlined by the Nursing Professional Practice. As an integral member of the patient care team, serves both internal and external customers including patients, nurses, physicians and other colleagues who support the delivery of care and services. Job Description I. Major Responsibilities: ..." Later after responsibilities list again: "Required: All responsibilities are essential job functions. Minimum of a high school education or GED. Current Basic Life Support. Required: Demonstrated competency attainment in the Patient Care Technician I level, work a minimum of 800 hours and at least 6 months as a PCA I. Prior inpatient/outpatient care experience or clinical care training. Ability to read, write and communicate in English in a clear and concise manner. Medical Terminology. Computer skills. Strong interpersonal skills to gather information from individuals, build relationships that support collaborative work within the department and across the organization and provide exceptional service to patients. Must have proven problem-solving abilities for routine situations. Must be able to remain calm when under stress or in emergency situations. Unless certification, licensure or registration is required, an equivalent combination of education and experience which provides proficiency in the areas of responsibility listed in this description may be substituted for the above requirements. Department-specific competencies and their measurements will be developed and maintained in the individual departments. The competencies will be maintained and attached to the departmental job description. Responsible managers will review competencies with position incumbents." Thus we have two sets of requirements/qualifications. We can create: - Requirements: Minimum of a high school education or GED. Current Basic Life Support (or certification within 30 days). Ability to read, write and communicate in English. Basic computer skills. Basic Medical Terminology knowledge. Must be able to remain calm when under stress or in emergency situations. - Qualifications: Demonstrated competency attainment in the Patient Care Technician I level, work a minimum of 800 hours and at least 6 months as a PCA I. Prior inpatient/outpatient care experience or clinical care training. Strong interpersonal skills. Proven problem-solving abilities for routine situations. - Skills: Could be: Communication, computer skills, medical terminology, interpersonal, problem-solving, ability to remain calm, etc. But many overlap. Perhaps we can combine Skills with Requirements? But we need sections only if real specific content. We could omit Skills if it's redundant. However the instruction says to use headings for Skills if there is content. We could list skills like: Effective communication, basic computer proficiency, medical terminology, interpersonal skills, problem-solving, ability to stay calm under stress. That's distinct enough. But we must avoid duplication: we already listed communication, computer skills, medical terminology, calm under stress in Requirements. If we also list them in Skills, it's duplication. Maybe we can put only the additional skills not covered: Strong interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities. But those are also in Qualifications. Hmm. Better to combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Requirements & Qualifications"? But the instruction says use headings for each of those categories if content exists. It didn't forbid combining but we should follow headings. We could make: - Requirements: Minimum of a high school education or GED. Basic Life Support certification (within 30 days). Ability to read, write and communicate in English. Basic computer skills. Basic Medical Terminology knowledge. Must be able to remain calm when under stress or in emergency situations. - Qualifications: Demonstrated competency attainment in the Patient Care Technician I level, work a minimum of 800 hours and at least 6 months as a PCA I. Prior inpatient/outpatient care experience or clinical care training. Strong interpersonal skills. Proven problem-solving abilities for routine situations. - Skills: Effective communication, basic computer proficiency, medical terminology, interpersonal skills, problem-solving, ability to remain calm under stress. But that duplicates. Maybe we can define Skills as: Communication, computer skills, medical terminology, interpersonal, problem-solving, calm under stress. It's okay if some overlap; but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited explicitly, but we should avoid repeating same lines. Overlap in meaning but different phrasing might be okay. However better to avoid duplication. We could decide to omit Skills section because its content is covered elsewhere. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section maybe called "Requirements". But they ask to use headings for each of those if content exists. However we could still have only Requirements and Qualifications if we think they are distinct. Let's keep both. Now Benefits: we have signing bonus possibility. Also maybe other benefits not mentioned. We'll include Benefits with note about potential signing bonus. Pay: we have hiring range $15.00 - $23.32 based on full time schedule; final offer varies based on scheduled hours; part-time prorated. Schedule: Holidays - Every Other Holiday, Monday through Friday, Weekends - Every Other Weekend; Scheduled Hours: 11P-7A Shift: 3 - Night Shift, 8 Hours; Hours: 40. Now About the role: we need to capture the descriptive paragraphs about UMass Memorial Health and the role description. Let's craft About the role: "UMass Memorial Health is a premier health system of Central Massachusetts with over 20,000 employees dedicated to exceptional patient care, academic excellence, and leading-edge research. Under the direction of the appropriate licensed clinician, the Patient Care Technician I performs a variety of patient care activities, receives workplace education and training to assist the healthcare team in patient care." We can also include the mission statement about everyone being a caregiver. Now Responsibilities: list bullet points from the responsibilities sections, deduplicated. Let's extract unique responsibilities: From first list: - Provides clear, timely communication to the RN regarding observations and changes seen in patients (examples: changes in skin condition, vital signs, and/or mental status). - Provides constant observation of high-risk patients as assigned by the Resource Nurse or designee. - Participates in the development and maintenance of a safe environment. - Works to utilize interventions to de-escalate patients and if unsuccessful participates in restraints in accordance with training and education as directed. - Assists patient with daily living activities such as personal hygiene, ambulating, meals and nourishment. - Assists in moving, lifting, positioning, and transporting patients by utilizing proper safety techniques and body mechanics in all work-related activities.
