  • Ensure shift reports, acuity levels, and treatment schedules are completed accurately and on time.
  • Orient new team members to the department, clinical units, and organizational policies.
  • Evaluate team member performance, provide coaching, and complete annual competencies.
  • Recommend corrective actions or disciplinary steps when appropriate.
  • Serve as a resource for staff, nursing, and physicians by applying strong problem-solving and clinical judgment.
  • Investigate concerns, complaints, or workflow issues and recommend appropriate interventions.
  • Maintain adequate equipment and supply levels; coordinate rentals and repairs as needed.
  • Review Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) controls at required intervals, maintain analyzers, and analyze CAP surveys.
  • Review and sign off on quality control documentation.
