Role Overview

Our client is seeking a Cardiology Patient Navigator (Coordinator) to support a busy cardiology care team. The role centers on patient communication, scheduling, care coordination, and clinical documentation. The ideal candidate brings a clinical background, experience in telephonic or remote care settings, and comfort managing a high-volume patient caseload across multiple priorities.

Cardiology-specific experience is preferred but not required. Candidates with strong backgrounds in care coordination, care management, med-surg, ICU, cardiac step-down, CCU, or home health will be competitive. What matters most is clinical credibility, strong communication, and the ability to keep patients connected to their care plan.

Care Coordination

• Track testing schedules, follow-up appointments, and remote patient monitoring workflows
• Coordinate with the clinical team to ensure continuity of care across a caseload of 150+ patients
• Escalate clinical concerns to the appropriate provider within scope (no diagnosing or prescribing)
  
  
  

Documentation & Compliance

• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation in EMR/EHR systems
• Ensure all patient interactions and records meet HIPAA compliance standards
• Support billing documentation and insurance coordination as needed
  
  
  

Who Will Succeed

This role is a strong fit for someone who is patient-first, organized under pressure, and genuinely comfortable on the phone. The right candidate thrives in a high-volume, remote environment where they are managing many moving pieces at once and doing so with warmth and clinical precision.

• Friendly, collaborative, and outcomes-focused
• Comfortable balancing 150+ patients across multiple priorities simultaneously
• Self-directed in a remote setting with evolving processes
• Proactive communicator with providers and patients alike
• Confident adapting to new systems, tools, and workflows in a growing environment
