I possess the ability to identify patient’s concerns and react accordingly to patient’s needs. As a current MSA I’ve demonstrated this ability in many ways. For example, if a patient approaches me with a question and I’m unable to give them an answer right away I can direct them to the appropriate department. On the other hand, if I’m able to help the patient with their concern (i.e. scheduling an appointment) I will drop what I’m doing at the moment, returning to it later, and assist the patient immediately. I recently had a patient who had a concern regarding an x-ray order that had been put into the database for him by a physician. After going to the x-ray lab the patient was seen and discharged. Following his procedure the patient realized
Through various experiences I have had the opportunity to use some of these skills in order to completely fulfill patients’ needs. One occasion I clearly recall was during a time I worked in an
I hope the week is going well. Attached is a schedule C questionnaire that Kroger would like us to fill out. I’m uncertain of which team internally to contact as it pertains provider compensation. When you have a moment, can you please have a look at the attached document and let me know if the compliance can help with the request? Thank you in advance for your help and please let me know if you have any questions.
It was my first time in the second floor OR and I was placed there alone. I went to found Ronny and told him that it is my first time in the OR. He told me that when I go into the OR I must always have a surgical bouffant on. We went to a room in the OR where he gave me a walkie-talkie, this always the front desk to contact me when there is a patient pick-up. He said that it must be on channel one at all times and that the volume should not be loud enough to disturb other that I can hear loud and clear. As I understood him a nurse for help called him for something. As I was waiting for a patient pick-up Ronnie was walking out of the OR telling me that he will be back as soon as possible. As soon as he left there was a call for a patient pick-up.
The U.S. lags behind in implementing ICD-10 coding because of other healthcare concerns within our healthcare system. I believe that with the passing of the Affordable Care Act and the changes that it brought about, the major focus for healthcare providers was how to survive and adjust to the changes. From a government stand point, the main focus was getting the Act passed and working out all of the bugs within the system used for consumers to sign up for insurance. Due to this ICD-10 was kind of tabled for a later date. This was good for those providers that had not begun to update their systems.
During my 9 years of experience as a Medical Assistant, I have gone through many different situations and have learned how to handle my patients as well as my co-workers. I have excellent relationships with my patients. Loyalty, dedication, and hard working are some of my plus
The first group that will incorporate the new CM technology into day-to-day work is the State's Vermont Chronic Care Initiative (VCCI) - a statewide team working to provide intensive care management to high-risk/high-cost Medicaid members. They comprise the primary group of end-users for Release 1, and this document provides evidence of their learning and readiness to use the CM system after R1 Final deployment.

Our Electronic health record software has to go through an extra step of being HIPAA compliant which is why we provide high security for code development.

Today, technology is usually way ahead in every aspect of our world, especially with mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. All of these devices have photography and data transmission as well as storage capabilities. These functions, on mobile devices, present legal challenges and issues especially when it comes to compliance with HIPPA. While HIPPA regulations do describe how patient health information or PHI should be handled, to date, they have not been changed to specifically account for smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Laws and policies must be implemented to protect PHI on personal mobile devices. At the state level, the policymakers that will be contacted are Richard Corcoran, House Health Committee Chairman and Aaron

Also, the definition of Family Member is “Your spouse, or the parent, child, brother or sister of you or your spouse”.
From my perspective, normative theories are appropriate methods of carrying out a task. Jim Summers (2014) describes several of these theories in our readings. While I found each one interesting, his discussion about ethical egoism intrigued me the most. He believes that ethical egoism does not qualify as normative because “It is not binding on all” and that it is more of “an ethical problem” (Summers, 2014, p. 7 ). I agree egoism is an ethical issue, however, the consequences of the theory brings justification as to why it should be recognized as a normative theory.
My job as a physician office assistant requires that I aid patients in scheduling appointments, checking in for their appointments, and checking out of their appointments. The topic that I learned that can be beneficial to my communication with patients is the
Monitoring patients during general anaesthesia is essential (AAGBI 2015). Anaesthesia drugs can change the way body works as you will be unconscious (NHS 2015). These clinical observations, conducted by the anaesthetist and operating department practitioner (ODP), help recognise any changes in vital signs and anaesthesia levels (RCN 2015). Consequently, anaesthetists are always assisted by an ODP; fully trained in the ‘safe delivery of anaesthesia’ (Gwinnutt and Gwinnutt 2017, p.4).
