- Coordinate MA assignments and coverage based on provider schedules, patient volume, same-day add-ons, absences, and operational needs.
- Promote consistent use of APM Medical Assistant workflows, policies, documentation standards, infection-control practices, and patient-safety expectations.
- Support onboarding and training of new MAs and reinforce competency in rooming, provider support, UDS/lab workflows, chart preparation, documentation, patient communication, and clinic systems.
- Monitor staff performance, attendance, professionalism, teamwork, and completion of assigned responsibilities; provide timely coaching and elevate significant or recurring concerns through the appropriate management process.
- Assist leadership with staff feedback, competency review, performance evaluation, interviewing, and other workforce activities as assigned.
- Serve as a communication link between Medical Assistants, providers, front office staff, and leadership to resolve day-to-day operational issues promptly.
- Model APM standards for professionalism, accountability, teamwork, patient-centered service, and respectful communication.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Daily Clinic Leadership and Patient Flow
- Review the daily provider and patient schedule at the beginning of the shift and identify staffing, rooming, procedure, or workflow needs.
- Assign or adjust MA coverage to support timely patient intake, provider flow, procedures, breaks, same-day add-ons, and unexpected staffing changes.
- Monitor clinic flow throughout the day and intervene when delays, bottlenecks, incomplete tasks, or coverage gaps may affect patient care or provider efficiency.
- Conduct or support brief team huddles as needed to communicate daily priorities, staffing changes, provider needs, safety concerns, and workflow updates.
- Ensure clear handoff communication when unresolved work must carry forward to another staff member, shift, or clinic day.
2. Medical Assistant Workflow Oversight
- Ensure MAs consistently complete patient intake and rooming responsibilities, including identity confirmation, vital signs, height and weight, medication reconciliation, allergies, Health Assyst review, pill-count readiness, and required patient forms.
- Ensure providers are notified promptly when patients are ready and that room flags or other clinic signals are monitored and addressed.
- Monitor completion of post-visit responsibilities, including checkout, follow-up scheduling, imaging and laboratory scheduling, referrals, and EMR documentation.
- Ensure patient charts are prepared in advance of scheduled visits, generally 2-3 days ahead, with required records, imaging, labs, prior notes, insurance verification, and authorizations available.
- Verify that same-day changes and add-ons are incorporated into chart-prep and rooming workflows without disrupting patient care.
