Medical assistants are the professionals who ensure medical offices run smoothly whether in a large clinical setting or smaller private practice. They are responsible for taking patients medical history, vitals, and at times, labs. Depending on the setting, they may also be asked to schedule appointments, update and file medical records, amongst other tasks, but no matter the duties assigned, a medical assistant’s main responsibility is to contribute all they can to their workplace and improve the overall patient experience displaying compassion, care, and knowledge.
Every office needs administrative staff, and in the medical field, the most in-demand administrative role is that of the billing and coding specialist. They prepare and review medical records for accuracy, assign proper diagnosis and procedure codes for insurance billing, and in some cases, assist with collections. It is important that these professionals are well trained, have a close attention to detail, and are knowledgeable on a number of topics.
Phlebotomy technicians are the medical professionals who draw patients blood, administer other labs, and deliver specimen to the labs for testing. As one if not the only lab professional to have contact with the actual patients, techs are a very important members of the clinical laboratory team and are expected to be both wonderful “sticks” and patient, compassionate communicators.
