...lot of medical attention. As a mother to a child who was born with many medical needs, and being in and out of a hospital setting, I have become accustomed to how things work. It wasn’t until I had my daughter that I had decided to look into the medical field. I knew I already loved everything that was involved with the medical field, having my daughter just increased my love.

I have learned what can and can’t be done with insurance and who to contact when something went wrong, this is a helpful skill to have when working in the medical field. Being a patient services rep would be an amazing fit for me, I feel I could relate to each changing situation that arises. Im comfortable dealing with insurance, helping patients understand what’s going on and working around their needs as a patient.

...Aquayla Scott Interview Question “What is the importance of medical terminology?” The importance of medical terminology is to allow effective communication. Medical terminology is important, it allows health care professionals to have understandings of certain things that could be elongated. Knowing medical terminology eases the process of having to do or explain everything the long way. It makes it easier and faster for health care professionals, it’s their very own language that helps them completely understand what is happening or what has to be done to help a patient. Medical terms are used to accurately describe the condition of a patient and the procedures he or she has to undergo. Most professionals use these terms (though they could be written in plain English). Not properly communicating or documenting medical information may result in confusion or even bigger health risks to a patient. Mostly everything we do in our day to day life involves these terms, as simple as a written prescription or diagnosis. It helps decipher complex information, many medical terms are made up of suffixes, prefixes and word roots, if the provider memorizes the standard word parts, that makes it easier to decipher the meaning of many medical terms, allows an understanding of diagnosis and procedures, knowledge of medical terms allows health care professionals to understand why the patient is seeking help and how they are being treated. It helps in treating patients...

The next were a Social & Human Service Assistants, Pharmacy technicians, registered nurses, secretaries and administrative Assistant. Most of everything that was listed was what I was looking into. I was looking into going to school for Social & Human Services at Penn State but I changed my mind quickly because that wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I was looking at a Pharmacy Technician but that wasn’t exactly in my mind field either. I was stuck on Medical Assistant but couldn’t find a school that allowed me to do the classes online while I could work and attend my clinical at a hospital or wherever they are held. I finally stumbled upon Kaplan and so glad I did. That is why I am so surprised from the interest profiler that Medical Assistant was listed first. Since I do want to be a pediatrician later down the road I know I am in the correct career filed to obtain that career. Some skill sets that are listed for a medical assistant is everything I excel in. The basic skills consist of listening to other without interrupting and asking good questions. I also love talking to people which is another basic skill for MA. I am a very social person so I know I will excel in the basic skills of a MA. I did however, notice that Medical Assisting consist of a great deal of verbal communication. I do not find that a problem at all because I...

...Experience I chose to review an article and write about healthcare technology in the hospital setting. I chose the hospital setting because I love working in the hospitals, and I ultimately would love stay in the hospital or in a long-term care facility. Technology in health care is used not only in assisting doctors and medical providers with the necessary tools to help patients, but also used for helping the patients as well. There have been so many new advancements in technology that have been so beneficial to the health care industry, some of them include; diagnosing, monitoring, and treating patients. Health care technology is intended to help improve the quality of health care treatment and care given to patients by doctors and medical professionals and also for the efficiency and cost for the medical providers and patients as well. In my job, I have seen first-hand the advantages and disadvantages to the recent advancement in health care technology. For example, when I first started working in the hospital, everything was done on paper and put in patient charts. This didn’t seem so bad, but it was a little time consuming having to write everything down on patient’s charts multiple times. It also was a little frustrating when a patient would come to our department and would be missing tons of their information. When the new system came out where we started imputing all patient information, we were able to import all of the patient’s data and records from previous visits...
