Job Details
Join Cleveland Clinic’s Martin South Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. This 100-bed hospital provides top-quality patient care to the communities in and around Martin County. Here, you will work alongside passionate physicians, nurses and other caregivers in a family-oriented, supportive environment.
As a Patient Transporter, you will be responsible for delivering exceptional service as you assist patients in receiving care. You will be the first or last person to connect with the patient, giving you the opportunity to truly enhance their experience and leave a good impression. Patients enjoy communicating with the transporters because the conversation is not clinically focused and can help to get their mind off of why they are there. In this role, you will quickly become familiar with all areas of the hospital while leaving lasting impressions on patients and visitors.
A PRN caregiver in this position works varying shifts between 6:30AM – 11:00PM, Monday-Friday, and 9:00AM – 9:00PM.
A caregiver who excels in this role will:
Transport patients to and from clinical, ancillary and support areas using wheelchairs, stretchers or beds, including patients with oxygen tanks, intravenous pumps, drips and special equipment.
Transfer patients to and from beds, wheelchairs or stretchers.
Transport patients during discharge to the hospital lobby.
Ensure proper oxygen levels in tanks before transporting patients.
Approach and help patients and visitors.
Verify and confirm standard precautions and correct patient identification by comparing information from the pager and patient wristband to obtain the correct medical chart and verify proper mode of transportation.
Disinfect and maintain equipment.
Perform environmental and safety checks, identify malfunctioning equipment, document findings and report malfunctioning equipment.
Move and deliver equipment and linen carts.
Complete three months of on-the-job training to learn multiple hospital and clinic locations, special procedures, patient and safety emergency procedures and proper body mechanics to safely move patients.
Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:
