## Description

Waymark is a mission-driven team of healthcare providers, technologists, and builders working to transform care for people with Medicaid benefits. We partner with communities to deliver technology-enabled, human-centered support that helps patients stay healthy and thrive.

As an Outreach Specialist/Care Coordinator in the region, you will be Waymark's frontline presence in and alongside healthcare facilities, often our first point of contact with our patients, and a key member of a startup team helping to shape and refine our workflows and build strong relationships with primary care physician partners.

Responsibilities:

- Initiate outreach to new patients and facilitate connections to healthcare resources and support referrals to care team members telephonically, via SMS, via video, or in-person.

- Foster trust and improve patient engagement rates through effective, empathetic, and credible patient communication.

- Collect, review and analyze patient data from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) or other data sources to assist monitoring and prioritization of patient care and to improve utilization of preventative care.

- Communicate with primary care providers through multiple avenues (potentially including EHR messaging and in-person meetings with providers to review patient updates).

- Serve as a primary day-to-day contact, and build trusted, collaborative relationships with healthcare facility providers.

- Participate in weekly Waymark care team huddles and partner with the full care team (Pharmacists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and Community Health Workers) to support coordinated patient care.

- Accurately document each patient encounter in detail.

- Collaborate with the Waymark support team to test and refine internal workflows and co-design more efficient processes for supporting patient care.

- This is a hybrid role, involving remote work from home as well as working within healthcare provider facilities, as needed.

Minimum Qualifications:

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

- Comfort tailoring communication to credibly and concisely communicate with primary care physicians and to communicate with patients in an empathetic and accessible manner.

- Highly organized and self-motivated to work independently and manage schedules efficiently.

- Customer service and/or sales experience.

- Experience with Electronic Health Records.

- Experience in a healthcare delivery setting, preferably communicating with medical providers.

- Passion for working with diverse communities in an empathetic, inclusive, and professional manner.

- Friendly, energetic, and enthusiastic personality with a client service orientation.

- Comfort navigating a variety of technology platforms including Google Workspace.

- Reside in Greater Chicago, and have regular access to a car to facilitate travel within the region.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience in care coordination, patient outreach, call center or working in an outpatient clinic or doctor's office.
