7. Contribute to Continuous Improvement - Identify recurring issues or patient feedback trends and share insights with internal teams (Product, Clinical, Marketing) to enhance the overall patient experience.

8. Ensure Compliance and Privacy - Uphold HIPAA regulations and internal privacy policies to safeguard patient information at all times.

What You Bring:

• High attention to detail and accuracy in documenting information.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Adaptability and a willingness to learn new systems and processes quickly in a dynamic environment.
