    With a 35% increase in imaging volume over the past three years and growing complexity in patient care, this role is critical to ensuring safe, timely, and efficient management of contrast-enhanced studies (including CT and echocardiograms) and improving overall patient flow.

     

    The APP will serve as the primary clinical responder for any contrast-related events, enabling radiologists to maintain diagnostic focus and supporting a high standard of care within the imaging center.

    Key Responsibilities:

    + Act as the first-line clinical provider for all contrast-related reactions, including assessment, medication administration (e.g., epinephrine, antihistamines), IV access, and coordination of higher-level care or EMS transfer as needed.

    + Support clinical operations across six imaging modalities: CT, Echo, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, and X-ray.

    + Collaborate with radiologists, technologists, and nursing staff to maintain safe and efficient patient flow throughout the day.

    + Perform pre-procedure assessments and post-procedure monitoring for patients undergoing contrast studies.

    + Educate patients on procedure expectations, risks, post-care instructions, and address concerns related to contrast agents.

    + Accurately document all clinical interventions in the electronic medical record (EMR), ensuring compliance with Catholic Health policies and standards.

    + Serve as a clinical liaison, helping to bridge communication between nursing staff, technologists, and radiologists.

    + Participate in workflow optimization and safety initiatives to improve throughput and reduce exam delays or cancellations.

    Qualifications:

    Required:

    + Current New York State licensure as a Nurse Practitioner (FNP, AGACNP, etc.) or Physician Assistant.

    + National board certification (AANP/ANCC for NPs; NCCPA for PAs).

    + Active BLS and ACLS certification.

    + Minimum 3 years of clinical experience in acute care, emergency medicine, cardiology, or diagnostic imaging.

    + Proficiency in IV medication administration and emergency response.

    Preferred:

    + Experience with contrast agents, including CT and Definity-enhanced echocardiography.

    + Familiarity with managing contrast reactions and post-imaging follow-up care.

    + Prior work in an outpatient diagnostic or procedural setting.
