The clinical office RN will coordinate procedural preparation and follow up for patients with complex cardiac conditions. It is required that the RN collaborates with other health care professionals: Physicians, referring offices, schedulers, Cath lab nursing, diagnostic services, and pharmacists to provide a coordinated plan of care for our patients. He or she will review patient medical records from referring physicians and establish diagnosis and treatment plan with the medical staff. The coordinator may identify the need to order lab-work and other testing.

The position includes a thorough evaluation of medical history for out-of-state or long distant patient population using communication mechanisms including fax, telephone, and electronic mail.
