Therapy Support Specialist

Success in this role is measured by proactive and consistent patient outreach, accurate documentation, therapy and product fluency, patient satisfaction, and disciplined scope-of-practice adherence. Specialists use approved communication protocols as a framework rather than a rigid script, adapting conversations to the patient while reinforcing clinician-prescribed instructions. The role does not diagnose, alter a care plan, make new clinical recommendations, or independently troubleshoot device malfunctions.

Core Competencies

• Clinical Fluency & Scope Awareness — Discusses prescribed therapy confidently within approved boundaries, reinforces clinician instructions, and recognizes when questions must return to the prescribing clinician.

• Proactive Patient Outreach — Builds positive patient relationships through consistent telephone, email, and chat outreach focused on therapy engagement, efficacy, and satisfaction.

• Patient & Customer Focus — Responds to concerns promptly and professionally while supporting a positive experience for patients, clinics, coworkers, and internal partners.

• Therapy & Product Knowledge — Applies approved knowledge of Altivera therapies and products to patient education and therapy-support conversations.

• Relationship Management & Coachability — Builds trust quickly and uses coaching and feedback to continuously improve conversation quality and patient support.

• Collaboration & Handoffs — Coordinates cleanly with Product Support, Quality Assurance, clinicians, and internal partners when patient needs fall outside role scope.

• Documentation Accuracy — Maintains complete, timely, and professional records of patient interactions and follow-up activity.

• Prioritization & Time Management — Manages a consistent daily outreach volume while maintaining quality, responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail.
