Home Health and Medical Equipment Coordination: Work with home health agencies to establish Start of Care (SOC) dates, process skilled nursing orders, coordinate Durable Medical Equipment (DME) requests, and track authorizations through successful delivery and completion.
Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging Management: Coordinate laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging requests, monitor electronic results and incoming documentation, and ensure information is routed promptly to clinicians for review to prevent delays and potential patient safety risks.
Referral Management: Manage inbound and outbound referral workflows, identify appropriate in-network specialists, coordinate required authorizations, and obtain relevant medical records to support continuity of care.

Preventive Care and Quality Improvement: Review patient panels and disease registries to identify outstanding preventive care needs and support the closure of STARS/HEDIS quality gaps.
Preventive Screening Coordination: Help coordinate A1c monitoring, blood pressure checks, colorectal cancer screenings, diabetic retinal eye exams, mammograms, and Kidney Health Evaluations (KED).
Patient Education: Explain the importance of preventive screenings and facilitate access to in-home testing kits, mobile diagnostic services, and clinic appointments to improve patient participation and healthcare quality outcomes.
Patient Advocacy and Communication: Serve as a reliable point of contact for patients through inbound calls, outbound outreach, digital messaging platforms, and operational task queues, providing empathetic and responsive assistance.
Healthcare Navigation: Translate complex medical instructions, healthcare benefits, and care plans into clear, accessible information for patients and their families, helping them navigate fragmented healthcare systems.
Patient Onboarding and Engagement: Review internal program referrals, initiate welcome communications, facilitate virtual patient onboarding, and distribute relevant educational resources and care kits.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with physicians, advanced practice providers, registered nurses, pharmacies, family caregivers, and other healthcare professionals to coordinate care effectively.
Operational Flexibility: Support different clinical programs and operational workflows as needed, including primary care, acute care, and longitudinal care services, while adapting to changing organizational priorities.
Important scope clarification: This position does not involve independent clinical decision-making or activities requiring professional licensure. All delegated clinical tasks must be performed under the supervision and guidance of licensed healthcare professionals. Any clinical concerns raised by patients must be escalated to the appropriate licensed team.
