Patient Advocate

As a Patient Advocate, you will work in a high-volume call center environment making outbound calls to patients recently discharged from the hospital and answering inbound calls from a queue.

You will ask non-clinical screening questions to determine if the Readmissions program could be beneficial to at home recovery or if other services are needed, such as transportation to doctors’ appointments. This outreach could be through manual outbound dialing, supporting inbound phone queues, and via a predictive auto-dialer. You will collect and document required data for end-to-end care to support the clinical program goals. For patients further along in the program, you will contact patients to ensure successful recovering at home.
