About The Position

Saint Clare's Health is seeking a Monitor Tech to provide indirect care in a department setting. The role monitors cardiac rhythms using direct cardiac monitors and facilitates departmental communication. The Monitor Tech transcribes physician orders when CPOE and the EMR clinical documentation system are unavailable, verifies that laboratory and radiology tests have been ordered and completed, prepares and maintains ICU records, orders unit supplies, and prepares each patient's chart with the forms needed daily.
