The role that I chose is Receptionist. My task as a receptionist was to simulate the registration process for a new pediatric patient and to collect and enter demographic details and medical histories into the EHR system.
Discussion Q1:
A challenge that I encountered during the simulation was that the patient didn’t have all the demographic details and information that was needed. I overcame this problem by handing them over a questionnaire to guide them through the process so I can get the complete information.
Discussion Q2:
The role of a receptionist contributes to the overall efficiency and quality of the patient care by getting accurate information when registering patients and for better, clearer communication.
Discussion Q3:

Discussion Q4:
Efficient procedures and the use of technology enhances patient-centered care in pediatric healthcare settings because it will give us quicker access to accurate information. By having the information as a receptionist we’re able to communicate clearer and we’re able to have accurate information to share with the doctor and for the doctor to see.
