Assists the doctor in ensuring that all related medical information is properly documented and gathers any additional testing / products needed in the exam.
Provide excellent patient service by addressing questions, explaining procedures clearly, and ensuring a comfortable experience for each patient
Assist the doctor by managing patient flow factoring in complexity, wait-time, and urgency.

Post Exam

Educates the patient as directed by the doctor (diagnosis, treatment plan, medications, optical products, follow ups and referrals)
Handles prescription refills, prior authorizations, contact lens orders, etc.
Supports the optical handoff to ensure the patient is receiving the quality of optical product that was recommended by the doctor.
Provides an extra level of quality control and team development by reviewing charts for completeness and coding efficiency.
Ideally would serve as a clinical resource and support for technicians encountering unfamiliar or complex patient scenarios.

Skills

Adaptability in relation to individual doctor preferences regarding delegation, scribing style and clinical workflow.
Strong knowledge of medical terminology related to optometry, ophthalmology and general healthcare practices.
Familiarity with electronic health records (EHR) systems for efficient documentation and data management.
Experience operating ophthalmic diagnostic imaging equipment.
Ability to perform direct patient care activities while maintaining professionalism, compassion, and confidentiality.
Knowledge of HIPAA regulations to always ensure compliance with patient privacy standards.
Excellent communication skills and professional demeanor at all times for effective interaction with patients, physicians, and team members.
