We are in full swing for our EHR conversion and are working on the financial portion of the implementation. I've dealt with some many master list that my eyes are crossed. But, I'm so excited to be able to gain this sort of experience as the project manager.
My role at work is expanding so fast that if I think about it too much I might panic. I've added two FTEs and 1 PTE and I've taken on the role of CDI and ICD10 documentation educator for the physicians at my hospital. We've added 3 outpatient clinics and 2 ASC and it's forced me to learn about the outpatient quickly and that's overwhelming.
These changes have forced me to become more aggressive at work but it's yielding great results that have made my chief officers very happy and is adding dollars to our bottom line, that will always put you in the good graces of the chief officers.
It's so nice to work somewhere that appreciates my body of knowledge and skills. That's not something you run across everyday so when you do, enjoy it and be thankful.
What's going on in you HIM life?
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI'm a ROI Specialist for a known ROI vendor company many HIM departments use. I've been in the field for about 4 years now, RHIA, and ROI and Document Indexing/QA is all I have done.
Right now in my "HIM Life" I'm studying for my CCS. I have always wanted to be a Coder and as hard as it is landing a coding position I have to start somewhere and give myself the platform. So study, study, study it is. I have been on a few interviews for a Coder I position but to no luck. It gets discouraging at times but I know I truly want this so nothing and no one will stop me. Rejection is God's protection in my book. Plus your blog and YT videos on landing your first coding position motivate me. I needed that pep talk. :-)
Good luck on your CCS exam, it can be a hard one. Keep going for what you want and sometimes a no is just God's way of saying, "I have something better."
