Outpatient Services Coordinator

Description

The Outpatient Services Coordinator reports to the Chief

Nursing Officer and is a hybrid clinical-and-operations role: an RN who still provides direct

patient care but also coordinates staffing, scheduling, communication, and daily workflow for

an outpatient department. The weekly House Supervisor shift adds an after-hours leadership

responsibility from 3:00–7:00 PM (1500-1900).
