We have updated our transcription process so that most transcribed reports are in the practitioner's hands to be signed and then filed in the charts the NEXT DAY! I have recieved several compliments from impressed providers.
Also, I singlehandedly caught up nearly six months worth of coding of offender appointments that no one previously had time for. My boss, the clinic's healthcare manager, had been worried because the statistics showed that our clinic was only seeing two patients per day, which is of course, ridiculous. But once I caught up the coding, that number jumped to nearly 200 per day. We are one of the busiest health-care clinics in the state prison system.
Finally, we just caught up the processing of records of offenders that have been released. One entire shelving unit in the back of our stacks was full of these records, and my team and I knocked them out in a matter of weeks, in addition to our other daily duties. Props to us! I brought brownies for everyone. ;0)
Not bad for a brand-new college grad with nine months on the job. Next project to tackle: all the Release of Information requests that has been assigned to me by head-quarters. No sweat.
