This position combined 30 years of experience in and around the medical transcription industry and allowed me to take this knowledge and move into the next wave of medical documentation. While working within an EHR document, there was capture of the "patient's story" in order to have a personalized record for each patient. In so many instances, this story is lost within a point and click or speech recognition atmosphere, and along with it, the things that make each person's records unique to them. Also inputted diagnoses and billing codes, followed standard practices to maintain E-M guidelines. I worked directly with physicians and nurse practitioners.
