At Franciscan Health, the Emergency Consult Coordinator (ECC) is responsible for completing an intake assessment to obtain the necessary information in determining what level of care the patient needs. The ECC will report their findings to the psychiatrist / physician on-call for their determination, and coordinate and communicate care with the Emergency Department, referral sources, and / or inpatient care. In some instances, assessments may require a licensed clinician's approval. The ECC will be expected to understand all levels of behavioral healthcare provided by Franciscan, and must be able to adapt quickly, work independently, be detail oriented, and well organized to be successful.
