What You Will Do

• At the physician’s discretion, the FLOW COORDINATOR shall accompany the supervising physician during a patient’s history taking and examination. The physician will personally elicit the patient’s HPI, which will be recorded by the FLOW COORDINATOR.
• The FLOW COORDINATOR will record onto the ED electronic medical record (EMR) the details of the patient’s visit as directed by the physician. The physician may elect to personally document any part of any patient’s record, or to complete it in its entirety.
• After the FLOW COORDINATOR and the physician leave a patient’s room, the physician will review the documentation entries recorded by the FLOW COORDINATOR during the encounter, and will make any and all necessary amendments to the patient’s medical record so that it is accurate and complete. The physician retains exclusive responsibility for the documentation of all patient care information recorded by the FLOW COORDINATOR during each patient encounter and at all other times.
• The FLOW COORDINATOR can assist the physician with researching and recording a patient’s PMH by assembling and reviewing nurse’s notes, EMS reports, referral notes from other health care facilities, and hospital records (e.g., prior admission notes, discharge summaries, operative/procedure notes and ED records).
• At end of the physician documentation, beneath the signature lines, the FLOW COORDINATOR will electronically Esign the record in addition to the physician’s signature.
• Secondary Duties (Occasional) 1. The FLOW COORDINATOR may advise the physician when test results are available, when a patient is ready for disposition (i.e., all tests are resulted), when a critical value has been flagged/reported, when a patient is ready for a procedure (i.e., the appropriate cart is in the room and ready for use), and when there has been a delay in completion of ordered tests (e.g., a urine has not been obtained, blood has not yet been drawn, etc.). 2. The FLOW COORDINATOR may perform a “patient ambassador” function on behalf of the physician, checking to see if patients are comfortable, have had adequate pain relief, etc. The FLOW COORDINATOR may obtain blankets and pillows for patients, as well as nourishment (following approval by the physician or the patient’s nurse). The FLOW COORDINATOR will inform the physician if the patient has, pain, nausea or any other condition or request that requires attention. 3. The FLOW COORDINATOR may serve as a liaison between the physician and nurses, clinical associates and Health Unit Coordinators (HUCs) by forwarding messages between the parties (e.g., a request by the physician to prepare a patient for suturing). The FLOW COORDINATOR may not communicate messages regarding direct patient care (e.g., medication or IV orders). 4. The FLOW COORDINATOR may also perform the above functions in collaboration or in support of the resident working with the physician. 5. The physician will personally enter all orders for patient care utilizing EPIC. FLOW COORDINATORs will not enter such orders. 6. All medication and nursing orders for patient care are to be personally communicated to a nurse directly by the physician, and not by a FLOW COORDINATOR. 7. The FLOW COORDINATOR may, at the Physician’s direction, assist with the discharge process by selecting and preparing the discharge instruction and follow-up FLOW COORDINATORP or Specialist Referral in EPIC. The FLOW COORDINATOR may not prepare any prescriptions. 8. The physician will sign each patient’s medical record when it is complete and after he/she has reviewed and, if necessary, amended the document for accuracy.
