BLOOMINGTON PULMONARY MEDICINE RN/LPN/MA

Bloomington Medical Services • Full-time • Wooster, OH • 6m ago

Job Summary

There are four basic categories of duties—clerical, administrative, clinical, and specialist. Depending upon the medical practice, the same employee may do one of these categories, or all four of them.

Reports To The Practice Manager.

Essential Functions

Clinical Duties

Clinical job duties involve working with patients in a clinical context, assisting physicians during procedures, and performing light medical procedures. Because of the responsibilities that come with medical practice, the clinical duties are regulated differently from state to state.

The basic duties include:

 Taking patient vital signs; recording in the patient’s medical record

 Taking medical histories; recording in the patient’s medical record

 Preparing patients for medical tests and examinations

 Assisting practitioners during examinations

 Explaining medical procedures to patients

 Administering topical, oral, or intramuscular medications

Administrative Duties

Administrative duties are less directly involved with patients, and more involved with the general running of the medical practice. Administrative employees work with patients in the context of scheduling appointments and handling billing functions.

Some administrative duties might include:

 Maintaining the confidentiality of patient information

 Managing inventory and ordering supplies

 Scheduling patient medical procedures

 Following up on patient visits

 Updating patient records

 Obtaining pre-authorizations/precertifications

 Checking the patient portal and responding to patients

 Ordering lab tests and imaging studies

 Scheduling patient appointments

Clerical Duties

Clerical employees perform many of the same duties as administrative employees, but with less emphasis on medical records and patient information. Clerical duties focus more on the business aspects of running a medical practice. They are similar to administrative assistants in typical office settings, managing the day-to-day office activities that keep an office running smoothly.

Some clerical duties might include:

 Answering phones

 Greeting patients

 Sorting mail

 Handling correspondence

 Filing

 Creating documents

 Performing computer data entry

Specialist Duties

The job duties of a specialist are somewhat different from those of general clinical employees. These employees work in a specialist clinic, such as an orthopedic practice, a surgery practice, a hematology/oncology practice, or a cardiology practice. A specialist has in-depth knowledge of a particular medical field, and has job responsibilities that reflect their specialization.

Required Skills

Because duties are so varied, a very flexible skill set is needed to perform them well. These skills and personality traits are recommended:

 Ability to multi-task various job duties

 Ability to handle different personalities and personal situations—both patient and coworkers

 Ability to understand the theories, reasons, and technical aspects of medicine

 A formal education from an accredited RN, LPN, MA; licensure required

Hours of clinical staff subject to change.
