- Care coordination
- patient records
- scheduling
The systems above are examples. Name your actual tools, access requirements and training arrangements in the brief.
How can we assess the work?
Use fictional or appropriately de-identified records. Review accuracy, confidentiality and the boundary between administration and clinical judgement.

Ask the candidate to explain the inputs they need, their approach, the checks they would make and the handover they would provide.
