• Develop preventive strategies and implement workflow or SOP improvements within Clinical Coordination.
• Coordinate any workflow change affecting another department or external partner with the appropriate department leader or Account Manager before implementation.
• Support system optimization, automation initiatives, and process refinements in CareStack and Healier.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner across departments to resolve scheduling barriers, maintain clear ownership, and support consistent patient flow.
• Serve as an escalation point for complex scheduling needs or facility and provider concerns.
• Independently address department concerns, communicate risks and updates, and escalation to the Director when additional leadership support is needed.
