Inboxologist

a specialist, typically a clinician like a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, who focuses on managing and organizing the electronic health record (EHR) inboxes of other clinicians, primarily physicians. They handle tasks like triaging patient messages, refilling prescriptions, reviewing test results, and other time-sensitive tasks, freeing up physicians to focus on patient care and other responsibilities

I retired from the hospital setting to work from home as an inboxologist, checking emails and answering patient questions.
