The Coordinator, Patient Transportation is responsible for arranging transfers that meet the care needs of patients and the operational requirements of Interior Health facilities.

• Uses various sources to gather operational information that is required to schedule inter-facility transfers in a manner that facilitates patient access and flow throughout the health care continuum (e.g. hospital bed capacity reports, daily bed management meetings).
