Don't Just Be an Advocate - Be an Ally for Patients
At NYP, Health Priorities Specialists spend their days navigating a multitude of adventures: on the phone, on the floor, dashing across the Emergency Department (ED) and diving into the paperwork. They might be one of the first few people a patient sees and possibly the last person to smile and wave. But every minute, they're always Putting Patients First.
Health Priorities Specialist - Bilingual English/Spanish; English/Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) Required - ACN: ED - LMH - Evenings
Serve as a patient ally throughout the continuum of care. Coordinate the full breadth of the patient experience by ensuring that the patient is well educated and knowledgeable on navigating the healthcare system and has a comprehensive discharge plan once leaving the ED. Then, go a step beyond by providing non-clinical support to our patients by directing them to a primary, specialty doctor or the service(s) that they need. Tap into internal and/or community resources, like neighborhood clinics, to ensure that patients get the best clinical care and outcomes.
