Responsibilities: My responsibilities this week were to follow the administration lady.

Knowledge: I learned how to navigate through health quest. It made me realize just how important the administrative position is.

Best: The best thing was that I got to hang out with Jasmine. She was real chill as one of my peers would say.

Worst: I got the smell of breakfast burrito all over me.

Tech: The database the use is called health quest and it is pretty simple. Jasmine said that it was outdated.

Diagnostic: Checking people into the hospital. Other than dealing with insurance there wasn't anything else they do that's therapeutic.

Therapeutic: Checking people into the hospital. Other than dealing with insurance there wasn't anything else they do that's therapeutic.

Diseases: They see all the types of diseases as well as people coming into surgery who need to get checked in.They see almost every patient in the hospital.

Terms: EKG- They put electrodes over and around the heart to monitor it for irregularities.
Patient- A person who is admitted into the hospital and is in need of treatment.


When I walked in the smell of breakfast burrito hit me in the face. It was only Jasmine who was in charge of admitting patients into the hospital as well as answering patients questions. The program that they use for the hospital is health quest, and Jasmine taught me how to use it. It's a lot of computer work.

The only team work is from the people in the back who actually deal with the insurance companies. They then make a packet with all the information then people like J-girl explain it. The only safty they deal with is patients and people harming themselves or others. They really don't diagnose or give any therapy.

The administrative positions are really important to the hospital. The programs they use help the hospital to run so efficiently.  There wasn't any med terms being thrown around. I did learn how to use their programs.

It wasn't as boring as I expected. The person was really cool and fun to talk to. It was good to go to see that you don't have to be a doctor or nurse to make an impact in health care. I do know that it is not an area that I would want to work in.
