Job Description

The Clinical Administrative Supervisor (CAS) facilitates the smooth operation of the Nursing Department and the hospital in general in the absence of the department directors/managers.

The CAS works directly with the nursing staff and other members of the health care team to maintain standards, problem solve, and implement change in order to facilitate efficient and safe patient care.

While the position carries shift responsibility rather than 24-hour responsibility, the CAS is expected to participate in all aspects on problem resolution such as suggesting alternatives, communicating with key persons, and initiating action and follow-up.

These activities may go beyond the scope of the CAS shift. By virtue of his/her presence in the hospital after regular business hours, the CAS has the opportunity and authority to coordinate interdepartmental functions and make administrative decisions with regard to total plant operations, collaborating with management as necessary.

The CAS assists in the management and resolution of unforeseen patient care events that arise during his/her shift
