Reports To The Practice Manager.
Essential Functions
Clinical Duties
Clinical job duties involve working with patients in a clinical context, assisting physicians during procedures, and performing light medical procedures. Because of the responsibilities that come with medical practice, the clinical duties are regulated differently from state to state.
The basic duties include:
Taking patient vital signs; recording in the patient’s medical record
Taking medical histories; recording in the patient’s medical record
Preparing patients for medical tests and examinations
Assisting practitioners during examinations
Explaining medical procedures to patients
Sterilizing medical instruments
Removing sutures
Administering topical, oral, or intramuscular medications
Drawing blood (phlebotomy)
Wound care
Administrative Duties
Administrative duties are less directly involved with patients, and more involved with the general running of the medical practice. Administrative persons work with patients in the context of scheduling appointments and handling billing functions.
Some administrative duties might include:
Maintaining the confidentiality of patient information
Managing inventory and ordering supplies
Scheduling patient medical procedures
Following up on patient visits
Updating patient records
Obtaining pre-authorizations/pre-certifications
Checking the patient portal and responding to patients
Ordering lab tests and imaging studies
Scheduling patient appointments
Clerical Duties
Clerical persons perform many of the same duties as administrative persons, but with less emphasis on medical records and patient information. Clerical duties focus more on the business aspects of running a medical practice. They are similar to administrative assistants in typical office settings, managing the day-to-day office activities that keep an office running smoothly.
Some clerical duties might include:
Answering phones
Greeting patients
Sorting mail
Handling correspondence
Filing
Creating documents
Performing computer data entry
Specialist Duties
The job duties of a specialist are somewhat different from those of general clinical persons. They work in a specialist clinic, such as an orthopedic practice, a surgery practice, a hematology/oncology practice, or a cardiology practice. A specialist clinical person has in-depth knowledge of a particular medical field, and has job responsibilities that reflect their specialization.
Required Skills
Because duties are so varied, a very flexible skill set is needed to perform them well. These skills and personality traits are recommended:
Ability to multi-task various job duties
Ability to handle different personalities and personal situations—both patient and coworkers
Ability to understand the theories, reasons, and technical aspects of medicine
A formal education from an accredited school; licensure required
