During shadowing, I feel I work in ER because you never know what will happen in a second. Yet, I feel joy seeing those little kids playing free and safe. They are so cute. I never thought I will work with pediatrics because I usually work in a medical surgical unit, so I feel nervous, but I enjoyed working with them.
How do you report an unconfirmed diagnosis? Provide an example of when additional diagnoses might be needed? Why do you think a coder needs to know this?
The career I am pursuing is dental hygiene. Dental hygienists clean patient’s teeth, examine the mouth for diseases like gingivitis. My mom works for a pediatric dentist and I spend a lot of time at her work. That’s what made me choose this career. I love the atmosphere and how friendly everyone is.
For this assignment I chose to job shadow a pediatrician. Her name is Dr. Samantha Witt and she works at Maple Kidz Clinic. In the clinic the receptionists calls kids for check ups, if the parents have any concerns, and they do assessments for the kids like blood pressure, reflexes, and more. The age groups that the clinic works with are ages newborn to 18 and they see about 100 patients per day. The job of a pediatrician is on very high demand and we need more pediatricians to be working in this job, there will always be a high demand for this job because people are always having kids and as a kid you have to go and visit a pediatrician for annual checkups.
I would prefer to be a medical administrative assistant because I really like working directly with patients and with insurances. At my job now, as a pharmacy technician, my strong suit is insurances and what they cover. No one is more happy than a patient in need of a serious medication and was told it wasn't covered. When you call them back to let them know the insurance finally approved it and they have a copay versus thousands of dollars, they get really excited. My role in that is informing the doctors office and staying on top of it. I try the claim multiple times a
EMR concerns are plaguing the health care industry today that requires change. Healthcare professionals, such as nurses, are on the front lines in the defense against medical errors. Closing the gap between current clinical and hospital practices and the various approaches to improving patient safety requires changes that are cultural and systemic in nature. The greatest challenge to hospitals using an EMR system is the expense of the new system, and the challenge nurses face with technology adoption in usage of EMR and protection of records. Even though spending depends on both the hospital size and the technologies were chosen, implementation and installation of a Health Information Technology system, which includes EMR, are often multi-year investments. The transition from a paper-based system to an electronic system is a very complicated process within every hospital establishment. The transformation is time-consuming and involves numerous staff from across the hospital, including Information Technology personnel, physicians, nurses, ancillary providers, etc. Although hospitals work hard at managing the changes required to move toward an electronic environment, there is no guarantee that hospital personnel will properly utilize the expensive new IT system or EMR. Therefore, the training in the EMR integration is required to all medical staff to have an efficient and uncomplicated system.
Several years ago, my appendix nearly ruptured and I had to have surgery. At that time, the staff was caring, kind, and aware of my pain, and the environment was never boring. Everyone was in a rush, and there was never a dull moment. The atmosphere is exhilarating; nurses, doctors and emergency medical technicians are always in a rush to help patients. Afterwards, I realized I wanted to help people in the same way the medical personnel helped me. This inspired me to pursue my EMT certification, but my ultimate goal is to attend medical school and become a surgeon. To be able to pursue my dream, I hope to attend (School) because of the strong curriculum and capable instructors.
I have shadowed two physicians during my pre-medical years. These experiences have significantly shaped the type of physician I want to be in the future. Not in the sense of a medical specialty, but rather in the sense of demonstrating a clear compassion and understanding for my patients.
As a physician assistant one is able to help people every day and get paid to do it. That is very cool that you can have the opportunity to save lives and do what you love while getting paid a very nice salary. I love working with either younger children or older adults. I truly enjoy helping and making people happy. The other perk of helping different people daily is that your brain stays very sharp and is forced to do a lot of work. Instead of doing one task mindlessly over and over
I admire the work SLPs do, but I knew it was not the perfect fit for me. I wanted to be up moving with the patients, as opposed to being confined to a table. I also enjoy seeing patient's improvements in a more visual way. Knowing these things about myself, I decided to shadow an OT and found myself realizing this is what I am meant to dedicate my life to.
I think you have chosen a very interesting topic. I also am a ER nurse, and I truly hate having to put my kids thru such a traumatic even , although I do have good bedside rapport with my kids, I still don’t like putting them in harms way, by causing them pain along with getting them so upset by getting a IV. I have tried the EMLA also, but like you have found the time it takes to actually work takes to long, and many times I need labs done now. I am very interested in hearing more about this “needle-free” jet injection. I have not heard of such technology, and would welcome it in my own ER practice. I look forward to seeing and reading more about your idea.
Step 5 is maintenance which is characterized by 6 months to 5 years or continued commitment (Sare & Ogilvie 2010). Behaviors of this stage are reward systems and coping mechanisms. According to the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN, 2012), education is the key component for both future and practicing nurses to learn how to integrate technology. Education should include helping nurses to understand an EHR beyond its technical use. In other words, nurses must understand how EHRs fit within the bigger picture of health-care delivery, rather than just how to use them as necessary in day-to-day practice.
I also have experience working in a Oncology department as a Radiation Therapist. I'm often asked if it is depressing working with cancer patients. Like you I have made many attachments and have found it very rewarding. There is no doubt it can be a very difficult job, but I have met so many wonderful people who have share so much with me. For a short time I also worked in an Emergency Department as a Radiographer. I also liked that very much. The adrenalin of what was coming in really kept me on my toes. It sounds like you have a lot of experience working in two very challenging departments.
In ER Admitting I thought it was going to be super boring because you are just in a room by yourself or with a partner. However I was wrong it's a pretty cool job and you are the one who the patients gets to see first. ER Admitting it's a really important job to me because you the one you talks to the patient's first and get to do the paperwork and plug in some in the computer.
One day a couple years ago I was at daycare playing with my friends and it was a normal day. My mom soon called and said that my grandparents had been in a tragic car crash. Their car was totaled and my grandparents were not in good condition. They were soon rushed to the hospital and taken care of. They are doing fine today and still have their up-beat, friendly attitude. If not for those EMTs that were on the scene, sad to say, they probably wouldn’t be here today. I chose this topic because I want to help other become healthy again and to be around for there family. This paper will talk about why I wanted to do this job, other names for an EMT, summary of what an EMT does, the kinds of EMTs and what their specific job is, the qualifications, education path, salary, job findings, jobs related to an EMT, benefits, and if I still consider being an EMT.
Pediatric Dentistry is a fantastic job for me because I adore children, the median annual wage is excellent, and dental hygiene is very preeminent to me. I cannot envision a better career path for myself. I have always been a person who can interact well with children. In addition, I also enjoy the idea of being able to help children feel great about their teeth and smile. Being a dentist is much more to me than just cleaning a child's teeth. It is also about boosting the child's self-confidence by encouraging them to brush their teeth and take care of their smile
