About Envita

Envita Medical Center is a Scottsdale-based integrative oncology and chronic disease treatment center focused on personalized, precision-based care. Envita combines conventional medicine, advanced diagnostics, genomic science, targeted therapies, and a high-touch patient experience for patients and families facing cancer, Lyme disease, and complex chronic illnesses.

At Envita, patients are more than a diagnosis. Every patient should feel seen, heard, respected, supported, and guided through a care experience that can be emotionally, medically, and logistically complex.

Position Summary

The Patient Floor Coordinator (PFC) is the on-floor operational and relationship hub connecting the patient, physician, Patient Care Coordinator, and broader care team. The PFC is expected to notice what is happening before being told, prepare for each patient before arrival, keep multiple moving priorities organized, protect follow-through, and create a consistently calm, confident, high-touch experience.

This is not a basic clerical coordinator role. The strongest PFC combines self-confidence, thick skin, exceptional listening, executive-assistant-level organization, hospitality-level service, meticulous attention to detail, adaptability, compassion, and proactive ownership. The pace can change quickly. The PFC must be able to wear many hats, pivot without losing quality, ask questions early, learn from mistakes, handle objections professionally, and stay accurate even when multiple patients and leaders need help at the same time.

Role Success Definition: A successful Patient Floor Coordinator is a confident, proactive, detail-obsessed floor leader who creates trust immediately, anticipates patient and team needs, absorbs pressure without becoming defensive, closes communication loops, and maintains accuracy, compassion, and quality while priorities change rapidly.

How This Role Partners With Patient Care Coordinators

The Patient Care Coordinator often supports the front-end patient relationship, patient education, readiness, and ongoing communication.
The Patient Floor Coordinator supports the on-floor experience, in-person issue resolution, regimen coordination, physician and team communication, and real-time patient support.
Together, the PCC and PFC protect continuity so patients do not feel dropped, confused, transferred around, or forced to repeat concerns.
The PFC should reinforce the same Envita communication standard: warmth, clarity, empathy, accuracy, documentation, follow-up, and patient-first judgment.

Why This Role Matters

Envita patients may be facing serious illness, prior disappointment with conventional options, financial stress, travel strain, family pressure, uncertainty, pain, fear, and complex treatment schedules. Even when the clinical care is strong, the patient experience can suffer if handoffs are unclear, questions are not answered, delays are not explained, or concerns are not escalated quickly.

The PFC protects the emotional and operational experience of care. Average performers complete assigned tasks. Exceptional performers anticipate patient needs, prevent confusion, communicate with grace, and help the care team operate with more trust and less friction.

Key Performance Objectives

#	Objective	Performance Standard
1	Create immediate patient confidence and connection	Greet every patient with a warm, confident, attentive presence: acknowledge quickly, use the patient name when appropriate, make eye contact, listen without interrupting, and create clear ownership of the next step. Patients should feel seen, respected, and supported even when the answer is not immediate.
2	Prepare for every patient before the interaction	Review available schedules, notes, pending items, prior questions, and known sensitivities before patient contact. Enter interactions prepared rather than asking the patient to repeat information the team should already know. Surface gaps before they become patient frustration.
3	Manage high-volume, rapidly changing priorities without dropping details	Simultaneously manage patient questions, physician/PCC requests, regimen-related tasks, follow-ups, documentation, and interruptions using a visible prioritization system. Reprioritize quickly when conditions change while protecting accuracy, confidentiality, service, and commitments.
4	Listen deeply, document meticulously, and confirm understanding	Use active listening and paraphrasing to confirm the real question or concern. Capture concise, accurate notes and action items in real time or immediately after the interaction. Confirm owner, deadline, and next step before closing the loop.
5	Anticipate problems and act before escalation is required	Continuously observe the floor for emotional cues, bottlenecks, unclear handoffs, waiting patients, missed expectations, or emerging service issues. Proactively intervene within scope, notify the right owner, and prevent avoidable confusion or escalation whenever possible.
6	Handle demanding patients and objections with confidence and compassion	Remain calm, respectful, and non-defensive with upset, anxious, demanding, or skeptical patients. Clarify the concern, paraphrase it back, acknowledge emotion, use appropriate service-recovery techniques such as Feel-Felt-Found when useful, provide realistic next steps, and never argue, overpromise, or take criticism personally.
7	Protect clinical boundaries while owning the service experience	Resolve non-clinical issues directly when appropriate and escalate clinical, urgent, safety, or sensitive issues immediately to the correct team member. Stay involved through handoff and follow-up so escalation never feels like abandonment.
8	Collaborate as a flexible, trusted utility player	Work effectively with physicians, PCCs, clinical staff, leadership, and peers whose priorities and styles may differ. Step into additional responsibilities when needed, pivot without drama, communicate capacity early, and remain dependable when the team is under pressure.
9	Learn quickly, ask early, own mistakes, and improve	Demonstrate learning agility and open-mindedness. Ask questions before guessing, accept direct coaching without defensiveness, acknowledge mistakes quickly, correct them, identify the cause, and change the process so the same mistake is not repeated.
10	Deliver exceptional human care without compromising quality	Treat every patient interaction as if it may be one of the most important days of that patient’s life. Demonstrate compassion, kindness, patience, professionalism, accuracy, and follow-through while maintaining pace and high standards. Speed is never an excuse for sloppy work.
