The Community Health Program Coordinator will play a vital role in the Comer Mobile Unit Program, which provides essential primary care services to children, schools, and communities, primarily on the Southside of Chicago. This position involves assisting the Principal Investigator (PI) in the development of a Mobile Unit Program dashboard, which includes tracking clinical activities, performing data abstraction, and conducting data analysis. The coordinator will also be responsible for establishing and maintaining important relationships with community health centers, sub-specialty providers, and various community-based resources to enhance patient access to healthcare services. In addition to these responsibilities, the Community Health Program Coordinator will work closely with the Comer Mobile Unit team to streamline resources and ensure the effective delivery of healthcare and social services. This role requires a proactive approach to familiarizing staff and patients with available resources, such as a comprehensive web-based database for health and social services on Chicago's South Side. The coordinator will also be tasked with abstracting subject data from medical records and entering it into Redcap databases, tracking referrals, and conducting follow-ups to ensure patients receive necessary services. The position is funded by contractual grant funding, which is subject to renewal based on the grantor's provisions. Therefore, employment is contingent upon the continued receipt of these funds and satisfactory job performance. The coordinator will also manage patient incentive programs, maintain equipment and supplies, and assist in monitoring compliance with regulatory policies. Overall, this role is crucial for enhancing the health outcomes of children and families in the community by ensuring they have access to the necessary healthcare services and resources.
