The clinical engineering at Victoria Hospital is an important branch of the hospital team management that are working to strategies ways to improve quality of service and lower cost repairs of equipments. The team members from Biomedical and maintenance engineering’s roles are to ensure utilization of quality equipments such as endoscope and minimize length of repair time. All these issues are a major influence in the hospital’s project cost. For example, Victory hospital, which is located in Canada, is in the process of evaluating different options to decrease cost of its endoscope repair.

When people think about jobs in the health care field, it can be easy to assume that most jobs involve direct, hands-on patient care. What many people don’t realize is that administrative jobs are equally vital to ensuring quality health care services. Medical billing and coding is an important piece in the administrative puzzle that makes up the vast health industry. As with most administrative jobs, medical coding and billing professionals need to have excellent attention to detail, as one wrong code or inaccurate statement can have an extremely negative

What do you think you will do when you encounter a patient care situation in which decisions are made that go against your values and beliefs?

For Medical Billers they will submit and follow up on any claims in order to receive payment for services from the patient or any health care provider. Both Medical billing and coding workers are the health care professionals in charge of processing patient’s data such as treatment records and related insurance information. Medical billers are in charge of making sure everyone is being billed correctly. Medical Billers interact with insurance companies just as much as Medical Coders. A normal day for a medical biller is day to day operations; prepare all billing for Medicare, Medicate, and all commercial insurance companies. Create electronic files, monitor payments and denials. When creating electric files, when a new customer is sent to you Medical office you will create an electronic folder just for them so everyone’s separate

In order for me to be competitive for this career I must gain extensive experience in this field. I know that my grades and most of my skills allow me to qualify for this position but that doesn’t matter in most cases. In order for me to stand out I know that I must get more involved in a hospital care setting. I have only been volunteering in a hospital for six months now and I feel that more years of experience will allow me to enhance my knowledge. I as well plan on joining the club called HASA for networking and making more connection and using them in my work

I would like to focus on one non-profit organization that has been doing very well in the recent years. The name of the organization is St Jude Research Hospital, which deals with the cure and treatment of children suffering from catastrophic diseases. In the five decades, it has been operational, the mortality rate has gradually reduced therefore saving lots of lives. St Jude started its operations in 1962. Danny Thomas was the one who started the organization and was helped by two other close friends (Pui, Pei, Pappo, Howard, Cheng, Sandlund and Gajjar, 2012).

Transitioning from the hospital and working for the local department of Health and Human Services as a registered nurse is a dream job. The position is first shift, with no required weekends or on call assignments of being requested to come “help out on the unit” have completely diminished. Employee insurance is provided with a nominal monthly payment and low co-payments for office and emergency care visits. Other perks include: twelve calendar paid days a year, with Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving Day guaranteed, without the hassle of shift switching. Another perk is a state retirement and a lifetime pension plan.

In my report I am going to demonstrate my understanding of two job roles and how they differ from each other. The first career I would certainly consider doing, the other I am sure I don’t want to do, both careers fall into two sectors both statutory and independent (private). I have chosen to research nursing for the mentally disabled because it is something that I would really contemplate doing as my life long career as I would love to work along with the less fortunate people. The second job I have chosen to look into is key stage one primary school teaching, I chose this because I don’t particularly think that I would like to do it, but I would enjoy to know more about it before ruling this profession

Medical billers, on the other hand, process and follow up on claims sent to health insurance companies for reimbursement of services rendered by a healthcare provider. The medical coder and biller process a variety of physician services and claims on a daily basis. Medical codes must tell the whole story of the patient's encounter with the physician and must be as specific as possible in regards to capturing reimbursement for rendered services. By majoring in health care administration I found that this type of coding pertains to my area of allied health. With this type of work, it could be very beneficial for the health care department. Reviewing clinical statements, is something that I watched a healthcare worker do while observing for my internship over break, it can often times get confusing and you have to be very cautious about the work you are

Medical biller and coders are most frequently employed at non clinical as well as a clinical environment meaning it could be in physician offices, medical clinics, hospitals,

Medical billing and coding is a career that involves the process of submitting and following up on medical claims with health insurance companies in order to receive a payment for the services of a healthcare provider. I think this job involves a lot of technology use and will take patience having to deal with all the different kinds of people and ethnicities. From what I’ve seen and what others have, a medical biller is someone who files all the medical stuff at the front desk or office in a medical facility. When you think of this career, you think of someone who works at a desk all day. Thats not all they do though.

Medical assistants are so versatile because there are so many opportunities that medical assistant can work for and to continue growing. The more experience and the continuing education that the person has the more doors may open for the person to work for in other areas. When it comes to medical billing and coding medical assistant have to be able to ask patients about making payments on their accounts and with known hesitations as medical assistants we are responsible for charging the patient on the date of service. When medical assistant collects it will increase the flow cash in the office. Medical assistants and medical billers and coders are responsible for handling charge sheets and submitting them to the insurance companies for reimbursement.

Medical field is one of the biggest fields. When I mention the word medical, the first thing come up to your mind are doctors or nurses. Some people that never work in a medical office, they don't know there are much more position in medical file you could work at, like medical assistant, technician medical coder or biller. Someone like me, don't like to deal with patient. Medical biller and coder is a good opportunity for me to work at. But what are medical biller and coder?

While the movements for social reform continued to escalate in the early 20th century and many schools of social work were established, the question of whether social work was a profession lingered. In 1915, Dr. Abraham Flexner famously contended that social work was not a profession because it lacked specific application of theoretical knowledge to solving human issues. As a result, the professionalization of social work began by concentrating on casework and the scientific method, and the American Association of Hospital Social Workers was established in 1918 to boost formal education opportunities in social
