About the Role

The Virtual Clinical Assistant provides patient-centered clinical, administrative, and operational support for Kind Clinic Virtual Services. This role prepares and maintains accurate patient information, supports provider workflows and follow-up, coordinates routine care tasks, and escalates clinical questions or exceptions to the appropriate clinician or Virtual Clinic Administrator.

Responsibilities

  • Support virtual patient intake by confirming and documenting demographics, medical history, allergies, pharmacy information, and current medication lists for clinician review.
  • Complete medication-reconciliation support within approved workflows; identify discrepancies and route clinical questions or concerns to the appropriate clinician.
  • Scrub schedules and review assigned Athena reports to identify missing information, scheduling concerns, and follow-up needs before virtual visits.
  • Assist with reschedule queues, obtain needed patient information, and complete appointment-confirmation outreach to reduce delays and missed visits.
  • Manage lab reminder workflows and contact overdue or lapsed patients; document outreach, troubleshoot/escalate non-clinical barriers, and escalate unresolved concerns.
  • Complete assigned TNP/TIQ workflows by identifying provider follow-up plans, communicating with lab partners, and coordinating next steps for patients.
  • Follow up on pre-check-in and digital tasks, including demographics, consents, contact information, insurance information, and chart reconciliation.
  • Provide virtual check-out support, scheduling assistance, and follow-up on end-of-visit digital tasks and instructions documented by the care team.
  • Monitor tickler lists and workflow dashboards and assist with provider inboxes, medical forms, Athena faxes, and pharmacy or clinic calls as assigned.
  • Provide organization-approved medication education resources and other patient materials only as directed by a clinician and within assigned scope.
  • Complete accurate, timely documentation in the electronic health record and operational systems while protecting confidentiality and complying with HIPAA, privacy, security, ethical, and organizational requirements.
  • Provide respectful, culturally responsive, patient-centered service; collaborate with the care team, promptly escalate exceptions/concerns, and participate in assigned training and quality-improvement activities.
  • Complete other duties as assigned.

Requirements

  • Applicants must currently reside in or willing to relocate to Texas prior to start of employment.
  • Ability to work full time from an approved HIPAA compliant private workspace with reliable connectivity and ability to use organization-approved equipment and communication platforms.
  • Ability to remain seated and use a computer, telephone, headset, and video-conferencing tools for extended periods, with the ability to change position as needed.
  • Ability to express and exchange detailed information by spoken word accurately, sometimes quickly, by telephone or video.
  • Hearing sufficient, with or without correction, to perceive and understand detailed spoken information and make fine discriminations in sound.
  • Perform repetitive motions with wrists, hands, and fingers and occasionally exert up to 12 pounds of force to lift, carry, push, pull, or otherwise move office equipment or objects.
  • Visual acuity, with or without correction, sufficient to complete administrative and clinical-support documentation and inspect information on computer screens.
  • Ability to work and concentrate in an approved private indoor workspace, manage frequent electronic interruptions, and move effectively among multiple tasks and systems.

Skills

  • Use the electronic health record, Athena workflows, virtual communication platforms, and standard organizational applications to collect, verify, and document patient-reported information accurately without independently interpreting clinical information.
  • Recognize questions or issues outside assigned scope and promptly escalate them to the appropriate clinician or leader.
  • Protect confidential information and follow HIPAA, privacy, security, and ethical requirements in a remote-work environment.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally in English by telephone, video, secure message, and written documentation while providing culturally responsive service to diverse communities.
  • Prioritize and complete multiple time-sensitive queues and follow-up tasks within required deadlines, with reliable follow-through and accurate status documentation.
  • Coordinate with virtual providers, laboratories, pharmacies, clinic staff, departments, and partners; troubleshoot routine workflow or access barriers and seek assistance when needed.
  • Maintain dependable attendance, work the assigned schedule including weekends when required, accept feedback, and complete assigned learning.
  • Bilingual English/Spanish proficiency is a plus.
  • Additional language skills are desirable.
