CHAPTER ONE

Medical Records

.

Once upon a time, on a

beautiful sunny day in a land

far away somewhere in

North Carolina when all the

flowers were blooming and

trees green with leaves, a

medical administrative

assistant named Sherry

Brink went to work only to

find out that the hardcopy

medical records needed to

transferred to the new

medical electronic software.

. .

Now, Sherry had challenges before and always worked through them with her utmost diligence.

This was more than just learning how the software worked, it was also learning how to work it!

There was very little training but, luckily, there was a HELP tab that had everything she would ever need to know about this.

Sherry was self-sufficient

and was able to populate

patient information, scan

and index sensitive

documents for instant

collaboration with providers

of different departments.

And who said electronic

medical records would be

paperless!!!

.

.

Sherry saw the rewards of inputting sensitive information.

--------Reports were immediately accessible to providers.

-No chance of reports getting lost, causing delays, and no illicit sharing.

-Patients received quality care faster – the new Health Plan for America.

CHAPTER TWO

Time Crunch

.

Now that Sherry had more

time since going electronic

was a timesaver, she was

able to concentrate more on

helping coworkers. This was

easy since she has a helpful

personality.

Things were going great and

then another challenge

arose – it was Friday, late in

the day, and the dictation

had to be finished by Monday. Lots of people

were sick at the same time

and that meant extra dictation and scanning.

What should Sherry do?A) PanicB) CryC) Prioritize

See the next page for the

answer!

.

.

Sherry learned a long time ago that while all office tasks are important, they need to be prioritized.

She came in over the weekend and had all dictation done by Monday morning!

This made for a happy boss!

CHAPTER THREE

Office Gossip

.

Okay, here was the water

cooler talk one day!

A little gossip!!!

One afternoon, Sherry was

going to a different part of

the building and she noticed

a bunch of employees in

one area, looking at the

floor and talking.

With her cat curiosity, she

walked over to see what all

this was. Turned out there

was a lizard walking around

that came in under the front

door and got lost! No one

wanted to touch it.

Sherry went immediately

over to the cute little green

creature, picked it up, brought it outside and

placed it in the dense bushes. (Of course she

washed her hands!)

.

.

CHAPTER FOUR

Surprise Question

.

Unexpectedly, a very important

person once asked Sherry if she

ever had any regrets as an

administrative assistant.

Sherry paused, thought about this

for a minute, and said, “You know, I

really do not have any regrets. I

always think before doing

something to avoid that. A

standard in my life is in the

evening I think about the previous

happenings of the day and if I can

improve any and how others might

be seeing situations.”

This most important person

thought about the answer, and

said, “That is a great idea. I like it

so much, I am going to present it at

my next meeting.”

This was a great boost to Sherry’s

day! This positive reinforcement

encouraged her to think of other

ways to be positively productive in

her work.

.

CHAPTER FIVE

Choices

.

So why am I a medical

administrative assistant?

The satisfaction of successfully

completing tasks and knowing the

company and I have worked

together for the benefit of all

involved.

An administrative assistant

can fit into almost any

career!

- Hospitals- Doctor’s offices- Schools- Government- Lawyer’s offices- Churches- Corporations- Small businesses- And more!

.

.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END!

The moral of the story for Sherry

Brink, a Medical Administrative

Assistant, is to always do your best

no matter what, follow your heart,

be loyal, dedicated, proud of

accomplishments, no matter how

small one thinks they are, and keep

a professional attitude.
