I’m new to my hospital and I was confused as to how the search system works and wondered if I would be able to help patients with the same birth date as me so I looked it up to see if patients would show up, they did like normal so I deleted it without looking at any charts. Is that still technically a hippa violation?
I'm really nervous about the exam. Many have said it's the equivalent of a college course. What has worked for you guys in reviewing? How do you take notes in the Zoom sessions? What should I expect?
Any advice is much appreciated!
Hi everyone! I’m a BS Nursing graduate currently transitioning into Medical Virtual Assistance, specifically focusing on medical scribing and patient coordination support.
I’ve been building my portfolio around SOAP documentation and appointment scheduling workflows, and I’m currently learning more about healthcare administrative support and EMR systems.
I’d love to hear any advice from experienced Medical VAs or healthcare freelancers about:
* getting first clients
* improving workflows
* recommended tools/resources
* common beginner mistakes to avoid
Thank you so much!
Completed the application.
Typing Test and Video Assessment and everything in one go.
How long should I expect to hear back from them?
How common is it to work as a scribe and be doing other tasks other than scribing?
Hello I recently got hired as a scribe at a clinic. I have no prior scribing experience and my employers know that. I have only worked two shifts so far but I didn’t do any scribing in either. On my first shift, I was pretty much working as an MA and following the doctor around and helping her out with procedures. The staff is also teaching me various things like the system they use and basically how things work. The second day I was working front desk basically. I was answering and returning phone calls as well as writing down what patients wanted. I was also taught about scheduling appointments and making referrals. No scribing. Should I take take this as an opportunity to learn every aspect of the clinic or should I be worried? I do expect to scribe eventually though.
I'm going to be working with Scribe America for the summer, but for only 84 days in person. I was informed that it takes 90 days to train. I'm doing online training (online stuff, preparation) but will I be able to work on my own in just 84 days?
Also, how do I make sure I'm a good scribe? I want to be able to help with tasks as best as I can. Does anyone know what they're evaluating me on and how many sessions they use to evaluate me? Would asking too many questions be annoying? I clarify things really often. I type really fast (70-80 wpm, 90--100 when I get really locked in)
Has anyone moved their 401k over? I left SA 4 years ago and haven’t gotten around to moving my 401k. I was a chief scribe and I don’t remember who manages the plan anymore. Anyone gone through this?
