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.
