• Serve as a liaison and advocate with physicians, healthcare providers, and external agencies to coordinate services and promote consistent, quality care.

• Educate individuals served on topics such as self-medication, prescribed treatments, health education, and preventive care.

• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation while ensuring compliance with applicable healthcare standards.
