Your Opportunity:
The Patient Coordinator (PC) is a trained Community Paramedic (CP) who is provided with extra training to work within the Mobile Integrated Healthcare- Coordination Center (M.I.H.C.C.). The Patient Coordinator (PC) will be responsible for a myriad of tasks and duties directly related to the Mobile Integrated Healthcare- Coordination Center (M.I.H.C.C.). The Patient Coordinator (PC) will work under limited guidance and supervision and will provide guidance and support to Community Paramedics (CP), E.M.S. crews, and regulated community healthcare providers. The goal of M.I.H.C.C. is to ensure that patients receive the right care, at the right time, by the right provider and are linked with appropriate resources to avoid reliance on the acute care system. The Patient Coordinator (PC) will be expected to make informed decisions and utilize clinical judgment when speaking with E.M.S. crews and other healthcare practitioners. The Patient Coordinator (PC) will be required to manage and appropriately triage emergency situations from callers and transfer information to 911. Candidates will be rotated through a dedicated Community Paramedic unit 25-50% of their rotation. This ensures that clinical competency and skills are maintained. A Community Paramedic (CP) will provide immediate or scheduled medical supervision and treatment(s) not currently in the community setting in collaboration with the patient's existing healthcare services. The Community Paramedic (CP) works collaboratively with other community healthcare services to provide care in place for patients who do not require immediate transport to an acute care setting for medical treatment or assessment. While the Community Paramedic (CP) 's primary role focuses on delivering primary and urgent care, they must still be able to provide emergency treatment should the situation arise.
