Today’s post is short, as I was only in for a couple of hours.
I started off the morning today with going to the office’s sort of “weekly wrap-up.” In this wrap-up, usually several employees come in to the office manager’s office and discuss various issues that have arisen throughout the week. In this case, it was an issue with a program called MedSuite not appropriately populating the correct categorization for patient need. Though this was a seemingly simple issue, to me, I began to realize that it was actually very significant. The classification for the needs of the patient is extremely important, and especially important when handling the patient’s medical records.
There was another, even more important meeting happening at the hospital today, so there wasn’t a whole lot for me to do. I sat with one of the financial people for almost the entire morning, which was intriguing at first but began to get a bit mundane after about hour 3. She worked on reconciliations, which I didn’t entirely understand but was still interesting to learn about. Fridays aren’t usually a particularly busy day, so there wasn’t too much she could show me.
I’m looking forward to next week!
