Gratitude for Keeping the Clinical “Wheels on the Bus”

“We can coordinate the patient care and the day-to-day operations of the health care setting without help,” said no clinical team member EVER! 

 As we celebrate National Health Unit Coordinators Week, we need to thank our coordinators for:

• Scheduling patient admissions and discharges from hospitals. 
• Maintaining accurate and organized patient health records.
• Helping patients fill out their paperwork and answering questions about care facility procedures.
• Communicating important information about care requirements to patients, their family, and their medical team. 
• Planning events that bring joy to patients and staff.
• Stocking the office with pens, functional computers, hand sanitizer, medical masks, and other medical equipment.
• Welcoming patients, answering questions, and answering the phone cheerfully.

 We are so glad to have coordinators as critical members of the health care team, their organizational skills and friendly disposition are priceless.
