As manager of Sinai Deaf Health,

can you please tell me some of the most important things you do on a daily basis?

Yes, my job is to make sure that deaf and

hard of hearing people have communication access when they come here.

I supervise the interpreter services, I provide in-service training for

the staff, doctors, nurses,

all the people in the hospital, on how to work with deaf and hard of hearing people.

I do marketing to the deaf community to let them know about our services here.

And finally, I oversee the video remote interpreting which is technology that

allows the doctors to see and interpret a remotely, so

they can interact with patients anywhere from California to Washington DC.

>> So can you tell me what role you play and contribute to on the healthcare team.

>> As a deaf person I believe that my contribution to the team,

because I am working with staff, doctors, nurses,

they see me as a deaf person, and they have to learn how to work with me.

How to communicate with me.

And that helps them understand that they can interact more directly and

effectively with their deaf patients.

>> Thank you.

Can you tell me on a daily basis what you do as a Domestic Violence Coordinator?

>> Yes.

So the program of domestic violence for, it's for people with disability.

So we have a very specific population.

So we work with the city of Chicago to help

to help these persons find emergency shelter.

We also have a sort of hotline.

So it's just for emergencies calls.

So, they, it's people so

people with disabilities that may need in need of emergency shelters.

They may need transportation, just, or just emotional support.

And so the population that I work with the majority of the abuse comes for,

from their caregivers.

It's not only trying to meet their physical needs.

But also how do you save, like do safety planning with them and

their caregiver, if their caregiver is a user.

>> And can you tell me, as part of the healthcare team,

what is your contribution?

>> So as part of the healthcare team, I work with a lot of social workers.

I work with other people in other positions that can help me or

guide me through and

tell me more about resources in order to help domestic violence survivors.

>> Can you tell me some of the most important things you do on a day to day

basis as an admissions coordinator?

>> Well I so various things and so

one of the most important things is that I make sure that.

Everybody is aware when we get a referral, so referral come in a hospital.

Usually you'll fax it or call us in the referral and

make sure all the documentation has been uploaded and

all the responsible parties are aware that these documentations have arrived.

So that would be our liaisons, our doctors, and our specialists.

So what we'll do is we'll finish first ensure that the patient is medically

stable and a good candidate for our program.

Afterwards, we'll check insurance out, I'll check Medicares and Medicaids.

If it's, a little bit more complex insurance, like Managecare and

the Specialists, we'll then take the case.

Start the pre-certification process to make sure that the insurance will pay for

their stay here at the hospital.

>> Excellent.

Can you tell me what role you play on the healthcare team?

>> Okay, so

I make sure that the admissions office is I guess running efficiently.

I make sure that everybody is informed and that we don't have any surprises.

Make sure that all the documentations are uploaded.

All our i's are dotted, t's are crossed.

And just make sure everything's in my right place so

we can bring patients into the hospital.

[MUSIC]

>> Can you tell me a little bit about your role on the healthcare

team as a unit secretary?

>> As a unit secretary, we answer call lines.

We answer phone calls, we put in doctor's orders, we try to.

Meet the patient's needs, try to make sure all their needs in the rooms are,

are met and try to make sure they're, you know, we have, we go under the nurse.
