Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent
• 1+ year of scheduling, coordination, or healthcare admin experience (hospital, clinic, or procedural setting preferred)
• Strong computer skills (scheduling systems + Microsoft Office)

• Familiarity with insurance authorization workflows and/or pre-admission testing coordination
• Epic/ORM, Cerner, Meditech, or similar hospital scheduling system exposure
• Strong Excel skills (filters, lookups, basic reporting)

Responsibilities

• Build, update, and maintain OR/procedure schedules; manage changes, add-ons, cancellations, and urgent updates
• Verify scheduling details (procedure, surgeon, duration, special equipment, implants, patient status, etc.) and resolve gaps fast
• Coordinate with Pre-Admission / pre-op processes so patients are properly routed and prepared.
• Communicate schedule changes to stakeholders in real time (charge nurses, anesthesia, SPD, PACU, endoscopy/procedure areas as applicable)
• Maintain scheduling accuracy in the system (case logs, block utilization support, basic reporting/cleanup as assigned)
• Provide excellent customer service to patients and clinical teams—calm, clear, and solutions-first
