  • Work with BTBC case management staff to ensure appropriate discharge of TB patients from the hospital.
  • Accurately document all hotline interactions, including call details, information provided, and any follow-up actions taken. Assist in the collection of data related to hotline operations.

Preferred skills:

  • Required: Current New York State Nursing License.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills.
  • Excellent customer service skills.
  • Working knowledge of, or willingness to learn, infection control principles related to airborne isolation and tuberculosis.
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a team.
