Patient Specialist - Beaumont, TX (1099 Contractor, Per Diem/On Call)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description of company, role, duties, competencies, requirements, work environment, physical demands, travel, other duties, EEO etc. We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove duplicated lines (the first paragraph repeated). We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (education/experience required), Qualifications (maybe competencies?), Skills (maybe preferred?), Benefits (maybe "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided" - that's a benefit? Also "Paid per fitting position" indicates pay. Also "Competitive pay provided" maybe pay. Also "Flexibility of work schedule" maybe schedule. Also "Travel" maybe schedule? Actually schedule: maybe "Flexibility of work schedule". Travel is separate but not a required heading; we could include under Responsibilities or other.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "This is a paid per fitting position." and "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". So we have pay and schedule info. Benefits? Not explicit benefits like health insurance etc. Only "competitive pay" and "flexibility of work schedule". Could treat those as Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits maybe not present. So we include Pay and Schedule sections.
We also have "Work Environment", "Physical Demands", "Travel", "Other Duties". Those are not in the list of allowed headings but we could incorporate them under Responsibilities or maybe as separate sections if they have content. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we could use others? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
Thus we need sections: About the role (company overview + role summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (education/experience required), Qualifications (maybe competencies?), Skills (maybe preferred knowledge?), Benefits (maybe none), Pay (pay info), Schedule (schedule info). We need to decide if we have content for each.
About the role: we have company description and role summary: "The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience... The ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS) conducts patient fitting activities...". So we can put that.
Responsibilities: list of essential duties bullet points.
Requirements: "Education/Experience Required:" list.
Qualifications: maybe the "COMPETENCIES" list? Or "Preferred:"? The instruction says Qualifications is a heading; we can put the competencies there.
Skills: maybe the "Preferred: Knowledge of MS Office..." etc. Or we could put the preferred qualifications there. But we already used Qualifications for competencies; maybe Skills for preferred knowledge. However we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting has "COMPETENCIES" list (Passion, Integrity, etc.) and then "Preferred: Knowledge of MS Office, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Teams Direct cardiac patient care experience – RN, RT, CVIS, Paramedic, CRM". So we could treat COMPETENCIES as Qualifications, and Preferred as Skills.
Benefits: Not explicitly stated besides flexibility and competitive pay (which we will put under Pay and Schedule). Could there be any other benefits? Not really. So we may omit Benefits section.
Pay: "This is a paid per fitting position." and "competitive pay provided". So we can put that.
Schedule: "Flexibility of work schedule". Also maybe mention ability to accept assignments that could include daytime, evening, weekend hours. So schedule info.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from essential duties, requirements, competencies, preferred, etc.
We must remove duplicated lines (the company description appears twice). We'll include once.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, "OTHER DUTIES: This job description is not designed..." maybe we can keep? It's not a heading but it's substantive? It's a generic statement; maybe we can keep as part of Responsibilities? It's not a duty but a disclaimer. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "OTHER DUTIES:" paragraph is not exactly EEO but it's a generic disclaimer about job description not comprehensive. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO but it's a standard disclaimer. I'd lean to remove it as it's not substantive duty. Also the EEO statement at end: remove.
Also remove "Disclosure of personal NPI number (if applicable)"? That's part of requirements, keep.
Also "Completion of background check. Florida and Ohio must complete a level 2 screening paid for by Kestra." keep.
Also "Willingness to pay an annual DME fee which is deducted from the completed work order" keep.
Also "Ability to pay for vendor credentialing upfront during a 90-day probationary period" keep.
Also "Experience in patient and/or clinician education" keep.
Also "Valid driver’s license in state of residence with a good driving record" keep.
Also "Ability to consistently work in the field in and around the region." keep.
Also "Disclosures are required for any potential relationships and referral sources" keep.
Also "Must be able to achieve credentialing for hospital system entry including, but not limited to:" then list items: Documentation of vaccination and immunization status, Pass background check, Pass drug screening testing, Review and agree to hospital policies and procedures, Completion of online courses, i.e., HIPAA, Bloodborne Pathogens and Electrical/Fire Safety. Keep.
Also "Preferred: Knowledge of MS Office, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Teams Direct cardiac patient care experience – RN, RT, CVIS, Paramedic, CRM". Keep.
Also "WORK ENVIRONMENT Variable conditions during travel Minimal noise volume typical to an office or hospital environment Possible environmental exposure to infectious disease (hospital and clinic settings) Extended hours when needed Drug-free". This is not in allowed headings; maybe we could incorporate into Responsibilities or maybe as a separate section? But we only allowed headings list; we could incorporate into Responsibilities as part of duties? It's more about work environment. Could we create a section "Work Environment"? Not in allowed headings but maybe we can still use
for any heading; the examples are just examples. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for section headings (e.g. ...). It might be okay to use other headings as long as they are . However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we could add a section for Work Environment if we want. But the instruction earlier said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That seems to suggest those are the expected headings. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we need to fold work environment details into maybe Responsibilities or About the role? Could add a paragraph under Responsibilities about work conditions. But it's not a duty. Could add under About the role? Might be okay.
Physical Demands also could be folded into Responsibilities.
Travel also could be folded into Responsibilities.
Thus we will incorporate those details into Responsibilities as additional bullet points or prose.
We must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include those details somewhere.
Let's extract all substantive info:
