Admission Planner Orthopedics

Together, we are building a work environment in which you can further develop in your profession and also help contribute to our ambition: sincere attention to care and the best care in the best place in the region. In the short term, we are looking for an enthusiastic and accurate admission planner for our Orthopedics department. In this role, you play an important role in organizing and coordinating surgery planning, both for patients undergoing surgery and for the organization. With your organizational skills and eye for the patient, you contribute to a smooth admission process and optimal collaboration within the care team. This is how you make a difference every day for patients and colleagues alike.

• You are the point of contact for everything regarding surgery planning for patients within the Orthopedics specialty;
• You provide waiting list information and guidance regarding the routing of the preoperative trajectory;
• You schedule surgeries both at the desk and over the phone. This is quite a puzzle as you take into account the general OR planning, the specialists' surgery schedule, the priority of the surgery, bed capacity, and the materials/supplies required for the surgery. For this, you have contact with specialists, outpatient clinics, nursing departments, and the operating suite;

But your work does not stop there. Once you have an operation date for a patient, you check whether the patient has had all the necessary examinations and, if necessary, you schedule these appointments.
Just when you have finished the puzzle, an emergency surgery comes up or a patient cancels at the last moment. You do not let this throw you off and you look for a suitable solution!

• You have mbo/hbo working and thinking level and experience with planning, preferably in healthcare;
• You can communicate well (also in English) and have empathy to address patients in the right manner;
• You have extensive experience with automated systems such as Outlook, Excel, and (preferably) HiX;
• You are able to function in a dynamic environment and you are strong in planning and organizing;
• You are stress-resistant and you can switch easily and quickly between different tasks without losing sight of accuracy and a welcoming attitude;
• You are a persevering person, a team player, and have a high degree of responsibility;
• You are willing to follow training in the field of admission planning. Possession of the professional diploma Admission/OR planner from Hello! Planner is a plus;
• You are available at least on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Other working days in consultation.
