7 months ago
Description
Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital program, is dedicated to healing the invisible wounds – including post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, depression, co-occurring substance use disorder, family relationship challenges and other issues associated with Military service – for Veterans of all eras, Service Members, Military Families and Families of the Fallen through world-class clinical care, wellness, education, and research.
Reporting to the Practice Manager, the Patient Service Coordinator (PSC) serves as a key member of the team that provides superior care and exceptional service to its patients. One critical dimension of this service focuses on patient check-in process and improving the human experience upon our patients’ arrival to our practice and throughout the duration of their visit. The Home Base PSC will play an important role in redefining and reinvigorating the patient welcome and check-in experience. The PSC will be the crucial “face and attitude” of this patient-centered practice. While also providing medical scheduling services, the PSC will have the unique opportunity to work within a supportive team setting enabled by systems and technologies that will allow the employee to provide patient care and services at their highest levels. In addition, the PSC will be responsible to assist in special projects when skillset and capacity allow, as deemed appropriate by the Practice Manager.
At Home Base, you are seen, heard, and treated with dignity and respect. We are committed to embodying values of anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion. We recognize and work collaboratively to address disparities. We strive to foster an inclusive team environment in which each person has an experience of being valued and respected regardless of their intersecting identities.
Home Base is part of Massachusetts General Hospital, an Equal Opportunity Employer. By embracing diverse individuals, skills, perspectives, and ideas, we choose to lead. Applications from protected Veterans and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged.
