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

o critical analysis to maximize utilization of transport resources during peak demand periods;
o cost-effective utilization of transportation resources (i.e. reducing ‘dead-head’ trips);
o coordination of patients being repatriated from within and outside the health authority;
o real-time problem solving to address bottlenecks in patient flow that are related to the transportation system.
• Obtains patient care information from clinical staff and various electronic resources and inputs this data into the PTO software program for the purposes of optimizing patient transfers, quality assurance and invoice verification.
• Uses a customer-relations approach in working with clinical staff (e.g. nurses, physicians, social workers) to match the most appropriate transportation resource to the patient’s clinical needs.
• 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).
• Participates in continuous quality improvement activities by performing such duties as:
o auditing patient transfer activities;
o identifying, reporting, and investigating incidents and complaints involving the transportation system;
o attending regularly scheduled PTO team meetings;
o complying with PTO operational policies and procedures;
o performing other related duties as assigned.
• Maintains work area in a safe and tidy condition.
• In alignment with IH’s Occupational Health & Safety Program, employees shall adhere to all Occupational Health and Safety policies and procedures at all times and attend all required training.
