The position serves as a centralized clinical resource for provider-directed results, patient communications, portal messages, referrals, orders, clinical documents, follow-up needs, and other work routed to assigned provider staff buckets. The LPN prioritizes work according to clinical urgency, ensures time-sensitive items are addressed appropriately, tracks unresolved items through completion, and escalates concerns in accordance with provider direction, organizational policies, established workflows, and LPN scope of practice. This is a newly created position. The responsibilities, workflows, performance expectations, and processes associated with the role will continue to be developed and refined with input from the employee selected for the position. The employee will be expected to actively participate in establishing effective workflows, identifying barriers, and recommending improvements as the role evolves. The Chart Desktop Management LPN works collaboratively with the Nurse Manager, providers, and on-site clinical teams, allowing on-site staff to remain focused on direct patient care and efficient clinic flow.
