• Maintain accurate, timely documentation of session notes, care plans, medication decisions, and progress updates within Brightline's electronic health record system.
• Utilize Brightline's AI-assisted documentation tools — including an AI scribe — to support efficient, high-quality note completion without sacrificing clinical nuance.
• Adhere to Brightline's documentation standards and turnaround expectations, supporting seamless care coordination across the team.
• Partner effectively with non-clinical care operations staff on scheduling, patient communication, and care logistics.
• Engage with Brightline's evolving technology stack with curiosity and adaptability, including AI tools, telehealth platforms, and clinical decision support features.
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives, clinical trainings, and professional development opportunities offered by Brightline.
• Contribute clinical perspective to team discussions about care model improvement, protocol development, and patient experience.
