Who is typically responsible for coordinating a move when a medical practice relocates?

The office manager is typically responsible for coordinating a move when a medical practice relocates due to their role in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the practice. This includes managing logistics, organizing schedules, and ensuring that all aspects of the practice run smoothly during the transition. The office manager often communicates with various stakeholders, including staff, vendors, and related services, to facilitate a seamless move. Their organizational skills and understanding of the operational requirements of the practice make them the ideal candidate for this responsibility.

While the clinical medical assistant generally focuses on patient care and clinical duties, and the provider is primarily concerned with medical aspects of practice, the office manager’s expertise in administrative and logistical tasks positions them as the key individual to handle the complexities of relocating a medical office. The administrative medical assistant also plays a supportive role in office functions but is not usually in charge of major operational decisions like coordinating a move.
