There are a number of job opportunities within a Medical Office environment. The majority of these positions revolve around keeping accurate medical records and providing a range of administrative services such as greeting patients, answering phones, and maintaining filing systems.

Medical Records Clerks and Health Information Technicians are often responsible for compiling a patient’s health information including medical history, examination procedures, testing, and treatment specifics. They help to organized and manage clinical data while ensuring its quality, accuracy, accessibility, and security. In addition, clerks communicate regularly with doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to obtain additional instructions and verify diagnosis.

In recent years, Electronic Health Records (EHR) have changed the way medical records are managed and medical office personnel need to be organized individuals who can utilize computer programs to maintain confidential patient information. Systems such as this make it possible for some professionals to specialize in Cancer Registry, whereby they maintain local, regional, and even national databases of cancer patients. Cancer registrars review pathology reports and conduct periodic follow-up with patients to report on progress and ultimately gather data on survivor rates and the effects of treatment.

However, most Medical Office administrators will perform much more clerical tasks on a daily basis. The vast majority of office personnel work in modest clinics and physician facilities in small towns all across America. To succeed in this industry, you must be organized and diligent as well as personable and professional.
