Watervliet Public Library

• United States
• Libraries
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Intern and Volunteer

  • Jun 2011 - Jun 2017

  A small urban public library, this member of the Upper Hudson Library System services the mostly working-class population of Watervliet. As an intern, I learned to perform all of the same tasks as a librarian. From reference questions to re-shelving materials, helping patrons with the public access computers to fulfilling inter-library loan requests, I was a fully functioning librarian when I transitioned from an intern to a volunteer. I cataloged, I weeded, I sorted, and I took on a special project to revamp the history section as my final internship project. Part of this special assignment included suggesting sensible replacement titles within a budget. I also assisted with the end-of-summer reading program celebration. Now, as a part-time volunteer, I perform all of the same tasks I did as an intern. We've changed directors three times since I've been there, so my knowledge has been valuable (even if it's not reimbursed monetarily). Show less



Center for Disability Services

• United States

• 400 - 500 Employee

• Supervisor of Health Information Systems

  • Jun 2013 - Nov 2015

  As the departmental supervisor, I was charged with ensuring that the department fulfilled all its functions and served the Center for Disability Services and its consumers to the highest possible ability. I was one of two gatekeepers for EMR licenses, and was constantly fielding calls from all over the Center to facilitate access. In addition, I was charged with maintaining our incoming lab exceptions via an electronic system called CrossCheck. I troubleshot when necessary, and I took a keen interest in the development of our new EMR system. I was a working supervisor; that is, in addition to responsibilities as a manager, I was also charged with many of the same tasks as my fellow medical records employees. These tasks included, but were by no means limited to, scanning medical records into the EMR, answering the phones, performing basic sorting and filing tasks, and at times, acting as technical support both within the department and outside it.

• Medical Records Staff

  • Jun 2012 - Jun 2013

  This medical office is responsible for providing more than 8,000 patients with effective primary care services. Scanner – Medical Records The office was switching to electronic medical records, and during this transitional period, I was responsible for all incoming medical records. This included determining whether the documents corresponded to one of the patients, scanning them into the new EMR [Electronic Medical Records] system, and filing the documents accordingly. My position also required me to scan the current [paper] charts into the system, ensure they were correctly filed, and eliminate duplicate documents. The number of errors was less than 0.6%. Previous experience with EMR allowed me to assist other members of the staff whenever possible. Show less



Prime Care Physicians

• Medical Records Coordinator

  • Feb 2011 - Sep 2011

  This is a small primary care office with one doctor and one nurse practitioner in the midst of transitioning from paper to electronic medical records.; While at this office, I was expected to maintain the current paper filing system as well as facilitate the transition to electronic records. The doctor had a hard time letting go of the paper system, and was, in my view, far too attached to her way of keeping records for me to be an effective records coordinator there.

  • Jun 2003 - May 2010

  With more than sixteen providers, this specialists’ office served many thousands of patients.; During my time there, the office successfully made the transition from paper records management to fully electronic records management. I also experienced the implementation of two different EMR systems. As a medical records coordinator, I was responsible for all aspects of a record’s life cycle – creation, designation, use, storage, and disposal. I received security privileges to perform complex systems management tasks, such as finding ‘homes’ for orphaned files. I also fulfilled all types of records requests, with the exception of legal ones. Show less
