    The medical assistant could try to distract the child with conversation to allow the mother to get the forms filled out. That may not work because the child is clearly acting out and destroying things so the assistant could be in danger if she got too close. Or maybe there is a room that the mother or child could go into so the mother could have a few minutes of distraction free time to get the paperwork filled out. The best option I came up with is for the medical assistant to take the family into a private room and help the mother fill out the paperwork. The mother could have ahold of her child while the assistant asks the questions and writes the answers.…

    Medical Assistants are responsible for scheduling a patient for appointment. A patient may call to schedule an appointment, so the medical assistant must collect information including name, address, date of birth, home and cell numbers. Sanderson (2017) states, “When a patient phones the offices for an appointment, the appointment can be scheduled in Office Hours before the patient information is entered in Medisoft. In these instances, it is possible to enter an appointment before a chart number has been assigned to the patient, by entering the patient’s name in the field right of the chart field” (p. 102). The patient may also be asked for the reason of the visit.…

    Meaningful Use is a set of standards that goes abut the use of EHR and allows the eligibility of the providers and hospitals that earn and incentive . This is a great way to interact with families so that they know what is going on with their patient and such . As a medical assistant it could make our life a whole lot a heck easier, if we were to be gone days at a time and come back to the office. The privacy that the EHR has is also great because it keeps the patients information more secure than some of the other ways they have been logged in the past.

    Cecilla, Nice post. I think it does get a bit difficult to work with those individual that definitely do not want to be seen as your equal and insist on being recognized as not your equal due to dominance and recognition issues. I looked it up and physician assistants can get doctorate degrees (Reid, 2013). There is some issues with them being addressed as doctor when they themselves have to report and be supervised by a doctor. I work with doctors that insist on being called by their first names and get offended if you call them by doctor.…

    The project was aimed to create close to 1,000 jobs for physicians to tend to patients in the 22 states that have fewer doctors than the national average—most of the states lying in the Northern region of the nation.

When few residential doctors applied, the Brazilian government extended Mais Medicos to Brazilian doctors who received their education overseas and foreign doctors.…
