Specifications include, but are not limited to: This request for proposal (RFP) seeks to obtain a family practice or pediatric medical provider (ARNP or physician) to deliver medical and health care services for the youth at Grays Harbor County Juvenile Detention Facility. The medical provider shall be serving as a consulting medical provider and shall provide consultation to the health service system in the Grays Harbor County Juvenile Detention Facility. The provider will see youth between the ages of 12-17 years at a 33 bed capacity facility. The average number of youth directly cared for each week is approximately 2-4. The provider will see both male and female patients and should plan to visit the center approximately once per week. Weekly visits typically take between 30 minutes and 2 hours to complete. Typical needs include STI screenings, depression/anxiety/psychiatric concerns, physical exams, and ordering TB testing for drug treatment program placement. Acute needs after hours or when the provider is unavailable can be directed to emergency services or urgent care clinics as appropriate. The provider may also be refilling prescription medications if the youth’s primary care provider is unavailable, or if the youth does not have a primary care provider. Direct communication with a youth’s parent and/or guardian is sometimes needed, depending upon which diagnoses the provider is treating. This position does require being on call 24/7 for a new youth coming into the facility who needs medication approval, or for any after-hours questions staff may have.
