About the Role

In this varied shift environment, you will monitor patients using advanced systems, document findings accurately to initiate charges, and maintain detailed dispatch records. The role requires close collaboration with nurses, providers, and external stakeholders to ensure seamless patient admissions, transfers, and discharges. You will also play a vital role in maintaining emergency supplies and equipment, ensuring the department is always ready for emergent situations.
