Which item is NOT a function of the Outreach Specialist?

• A. Prepare and maintain records and reports for outreach activities
• B. Creates awareness in the community of agency's programs and services
• C. Schedules clinical visits with clients weekly
• D. Gathers applications from prospective clients and Homecare Aides and forward them to Vice President

Answer: (C)

The key idea is identifying what an Outreach Specialist does versus what falls outside that role. Outreach work centers on engaging the community, raising awareness about the agency’s programs, and moving people into services—often by handling outreach records and collecting applications to connect clients with care. Scheduling clinical visits with clients weekly, however, is a clinical/administrative task that belongs to care coordination or clinical staff, not outreach. It involves coordinating medical appointments and managing medical workflows, which goes beyond the outreach function. Therefore, scheduling weekly clinical visits is not a function of the Outreach Specialist.
