    • Communicates trip information accurately and concisely to CCPT leadership when a price quote for service is requested. Follows up with the caller in a timely manner.
    • Works with other transport agencies or ride-share programs to obtain the most efficient and cost-effective service appropriate for the patient. Communicates the plan to the requestor and follows through to ensure the patient was transported as scheduled. Serves as a patient advocate by escalating or direct intervention when other agencies do not meet service expectations or timelines.
    • Demonstrates sustained proficiency in multi-tasking and prioritizing work. Minimizes delays by direct data entry into the system while the caller is on the line.
    • Reviews electronic medical records for demographic information, clinical information, or prior transport information to ensure an appropriate match of resources to patient need. Actively works to ensure the protection of private health information during this process.
    • Cancels and reschedules appointments in the dispatch software program, using attention to detail to ensure the right patient and the right cancellation reason.
