Summary
I am pursuing my bachelor of Science in healthcare compliance and regulation, which I started in August 2023. Before this, I took health information management classes at the University of Cincinnati and Joliet Junior College. I have held different roles in various healthcare settings. I currently work at Silver Cross Hospital as an Indexing Technician in the document imaging department I am responsible for performing qualitative analysis on the documents that have been scanned into the electronic health record as well as the validation process, which entails ensuring that the documents are attached to the correct patients' chart, valid encounter number and are assigned the right name. We are also responsible for researching and merging duplicate medical record merge requests, which entails researching the patients and determining whether or not they are the same patient. Before this current role, I worked in the emergency department as a unit clerk and on various units as a patient safety attendant at Silver Cross Hospital. Before starting my career at Silver Cross, I worked at two different nursing homes as a CNA in 2016, a home health aide, and a store associate at Dollar General, a Baker for Chicago dough, and a Donut fryer at Kirby's Korner Bakery I look forward to gaining more knowledge, new skills, and experience, but I also hope to help provide quality care to patients.
