    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:

    A compliance with HIPAA regulations is critical in managing patient records to protect patients privacy.

    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.
