• Maintain continuity of care by reviewing patient charts and handoff notes ahead of each covered shift.
• Manage clinical inboxes, follow-ups, and messages across channels during coverage periods.

Product Launch & Virtual Care Experience

• Provide clinical feedback on virtual intake, triage, and visit workflows as new features roll out.
• Help identify where virtual care protocols need adjustment for quality, safety, and patient satisfaction.
• Support pilot programs and new service lines as Haven Health scales.

Collaboration & Culture

• Work in close partnership with physicians and medical assistants to ensure seamless patient flow.
• Contribute to a collaborative, inclusive, and affirming team culture.
• Provide input into clinical protocols and quality improvement initiatives.
