• Identify reporting discrepancies, unusual trends, and operational concerns.
• Prepare accurate, timely reports for management with clear findings and actionable recommendations.

Patient Satisfaction & Referral Management

• Track patient satisfaction surveys, reviews, complaints, and service concerns.
• Identify recurring issues and coordinate follow-up on assigned corrective actions.
• Monitor referral tracking processes, outstanding referrals, incomplete requests, and administrative delays.
• Identify patient access barriers, scheduling bottlenecks, and opportunities to improve appointment availability.
• Provide regular reporting on referral activity, unresolved issues, and patient service performance.

Workflow Monitoring & Staff Accountability

• Identify aging items, incomplete tasks, administrative backlogs, and missed deadlines.
• Follow up with responsible staff to ensure timely completion of administrative responsibilities.
• Track unresolved issues, document follow-up, and escalated recurring problems to the Medical Office Manager.
