The Patient Navigator plays a key role in ensuring seamless access to care by managing and triaging new patient referrals, coordinating appointments, and supporting clinical workflows.

  • Arrange follow-up visits and continuity of care for established patients.
  • Schedule imaging studies (MRI, Biopsy, Mammogram, US.) and other diagnostics as ordered by providers.
  • Coordinate appointment times with the provider’s availability and department resources.
Care Coordination & Patient Communication:
  • Serve as the point of contact for patients navigating the healthcare system.
  • Educate patients on the next steps in their care journey, including imaging prep and follow-up expectations.
  • Communicate imaging results to patients and provide instructions on next steps in the care process.
Administrative & Clinical Support:
  • Accurately document patient information and communications in the Electronic Health Record (EHR).
  • Collaborate with clinical and administrative teams to streamline care coordination.
  • Monitor pending referrals and follow up on incomplete scheduling tasks or outstanding imaging.
Medical Scribing:
  • Accurately document patient encounters in real time during clinic visits.
  • Assist providers with chart completion, orders, and follow-ups.
  • Maintain thorough and compliant medical records.

Qualifications:
Required:
  • Minimum of 1–2 years clinical experience in a healthcare setting (e.g. medical assistant, nursing assistant).
  • Working knowledge of medical terminology, referrals, and diagnostic imaging procedures.
  • Proficiency with Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and scheduling systems.
Preferred:
  • Certification as a Medical Assistant (CMA), or other relevant clinical experience.
  • Experience in care coordination, patient navigation, or referral management.
  • Experience in breast health, oncology, or women’s health.
Skills:
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Effective communication and interpersonal abilities with patients and medical staff.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work in a fast-paced environment.
