This part of the job may be a ton of work, so we would want to coordinator to lead it, but likely need other worker bees to actually do the grunt work.
2)Track and coordinate visits between the different services once an Inspire candidate has been identified. Make sure the patient makes the appropriate appointments and actually follows through.
3)Keep track of all the testing needed for each patient...sleep study appropriate and within the required time frame, pre op visit with clinician team, sleep endoscopy performed.
4)Coordinate submission of all the appropriate data to insurance or Inspire for approval for the implant.
