Patient Engagement Specialist

Remote, United States

About Us

Galileo is a team-based medical practice working to improve the quality and affordability of health care for all. Operating across 50 states, Galileo offers high-touch, data-driven, multi-specialty, longitudinal care to diverse and complex patients—on the phone, in the home, and everywhere in between. Regional and national health plans, employers, and Fortune 500 organizations trust Galileo as the leading solution to improve population health. Founded by Dr. Tom X. Lee, the healthcare pioneer behind One Medical and Epocrates, Galileo is a team of leading innovators from healthcare, technology, and human-centered design. Our mission is to apply that talent and scientific thinking to transform society by solving our largest, toughest healthcare problems, while at the same time bringing patient and provider closer.

About the Role

At Galileo you have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients daily while motivating them to improve their health. The Engagement Specialist serves as the first interaction individuals have with Galileo. You will follow the patient’s health journey from initial contact through establishing care in our supportive primary care models. Through this role, you will utilize patient-centered communication skills to motivate potential patients to improve their health, perform preventative health screenings, and connect to care. 

The ideal candidate is someone who has a knack for building rapport with individuals over the phone and motivating them to take action. Healthcare experience is preferred but not required, as is familiarity with Population Health and HEDIS quality gaps in care. 

Here’s what you’ll do

  • Quickly build rapport with potential Galileo patients, understanding their needs and matching those needs to what Galileo can provide
  • Perform daily telephonic outreach to educate potential patients on Galileo services, with the goal of booking new patient visits and/or closing gaps in care (e.g., get an overdue preventative screening)
  • Field inbound interest resulting from outreach efforts and guide patients through sign-ups and scheduling. 
  • Drive positive outcomes that include, for example, clinical visit scheduling, account activation, and application download.
  • Support patients to close their gaps in care, and document progress towards gap closure
  • Collaborate internally with Engagement and Population Health leadership and with assigned local market Practice Manager
  • Be accountable to performance targets (engagement, quality gap closure) as an individual contributor
  • Leverage systems and tools (e.g. eligibility verification, demographic files, scheduling, etc.) to maximize problem solving ability

About You

You are passionate about connecting people to healthcare that meets them on their own terms. To be successful, you must be empathetic, resourceful, and influential with an aim to learn as much as you can about a patient and find their motivation to say yes to improving their health. You thrive in a performance-driven, flexible start-up environment where changing workflows, systems, and tools may be frequent. You are eager to offer suggestions for improvements and able to problem solve on the go.  You are someone who leads by example and loves to uplift and drive teams toward success.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
