The Functional Status Assessment Coordinator - Cerner Enabled brings subject matter expertise in functional status data collection, assessment design, and workflow enablement.

This individual must also have working knowledge of durable medical equipment (DME), especially prosthetics, and leverage Cerner tools to support appropriate documentation, referrals, and service requests that ensure Veterans receive timely and appropriate support. The role includes identifying and resolving barriers in the capture and processing of DME-related data and workflows to expedite care, improve documentation quality, and enable accurate reporting. Applicants must have exceptionally strong communication skills and thrive in an environment of leading discussions and meetings with executive-level stakeholders.
