• Author timely progress notes and Medicare-compliant documentation to support medical necessity and audit readiness
• Conduct discharge consultations and author discharge summaries, including clinical outcomes and treatment value
• Communicate with referring physicians at key points in the patient journey and participate in care coordination for complex cases
