• Escalate client concerns appropriately to clinicians or leadership

• Act as a communication liaison between ECC doctors, technicians, CSRs, leadership, and referral hospitals

• Support efficient ECC patient flow by monitoring admissions, transfers, discharges, caseloads, and ICU capacity

• Coordinate diagnostics, procedures, transfers, rechecks, and follow-up appointments as directed

• Ensure accurate documentation, record requests, referral communication, and complete charge capture prior to checkout
