01
where the work gets held up
Medical office work involves sensitive information. Before assigning a queue, determine which details the assistant can access, how identity is checked and when a caller must be transferred. Clinical questions need a different path from appointment requests.

03
how we approach the work
When we discuss support for your business, we start with the handoff—not a long list of job titles. Begin with a narrowly defined administrative task. Confirm privacy requirements, access controls and any required agreements before sharing patient information. Provide transfer rules for symptoms, emergencies and questions only a clinician can answer.
04
what stays with your team
This guide does not claim HIPAA certification or compliance for Continental Communications Solutions. Confirm all applicable safeguards, training and any required business associate agreement before work involving protected health information begins. Assistants do not provide medical advice.
05
