Blog Week 5

Last Friday I went to the clinic and it was a little different than the other times that I had gone.  I was in the optometry section of the clinic and, since they did not need translators in this wing, the medical assistant asked me to do some paperwork.  I had to transfer PDF files saved in the computer into the special program where they save all of the patient's information.  I had to analyze each document, place it under the patient's file and briefly summarize what the document was about and place this information as a cover sheet.  I enjoyed this work because it showed me another part of how the clinic runs.  It is essential for the patient's health to have their records straight and easily accessible so that the doctor can analyze them and make the best judgement for each case.
