Does this count as clinical experience?

I am a premed freshman, and I currently volunteer at my local hospital's emergency department. I am a Medical Liaison for patients where I am ordered to call the names of patients from the waiting room, escort them to their triage rooms, and take them to their designated emergency rooms so they can be seen by a specialist. Would this count as clinical experience for med school? Thank you

EDIT: Thank you so much for all the responses! Was terrified that hospital volunteering wouldn't be counted as clinical experience, but I now know that it is!

I would say yes, (you can smell them), and also you posted this in the wrong forum thread.

Yes, it's volunteer clinical experience.
