Work History
Patient Access Representative
Saint Thomas Rutherford West Hospital- R1 RCM

I work on computers and answer phones to intake information in a busy environment. I work across multiple screens collecting details that must be input correctly between the physician and nurse check-ins. I work across multiple programs and type as quickly as the patients talk. I work around clinicians interrupting the registration process for emergent clinical care.
I help with people who may be very ill or worried. I work with multiple I-pad computer tabs to intaking patients information. I seat with patients who need me to be there for them and listen carefully to ease their anxiety. I ask follow-up questions and build rapport in real time.
I work in a fast-paced work environment, I am often on my feet assisting patients completing their registration. I collect patients and insurance information straightforward, there is a lot of variation in health plans and coverage, that I have required knowledge for through training. I work quickly and expect the unexpected.
