Maintain accurate patient records within the practice management and electronic health record systems.
Handle all patient information according to confidentiality and compliance standards at every step.

Demonstrated skill in scheduling appointments accurately across multiple calendars or providers.
Strong understanding of confidentiality requirements when handling patient information.
Proven ability to multitask across several scheduling and communication channels at once.
Working familiarity with practice management software, scheduling systems, and patient portal systems.
Experience with electronic health record systems and compliant messaging or reminder tools.
