Answer patients’ clinical questions strictly within the boundaries of the SOP.

Quality, Documentation & Team Collaboration

Support the APP in ongoing panel management and quality-of-care efforts; utilize HEDIS tracking tools to meet and improve HEDIS / STARS performance and close gaps, including medication adherence.
Contribute complete, accurate, and timely data to patients’ records and ensure all required clinical and non-clinical documentation is in the EMR; complete and submit all documentation daily.
