Being in the medical field on any level can be stressful and tiring; your time is extremely precious and you never seem to have enough of it. Taking care of vital tasks with your patients while still keeping up with any office work can be easier said than done! This is especially true for doctors that run family clinics in smaller towns or cities. Being able to keep running a cost effective clinic while still having well-trained staff on hand can raise your overhead and put a strain on patient-doctor relations. If this sounds like your situation, considering the services of a medical virtual assistant might be just what you need!
Benefits of Hiring a Virtual Assistant
Your Virtual Assistant works from a remote location, so that means you never have to find more office space or provide more equipment for them to use. They are already fully trained, so you never have to worry about the time and cost involved in training new staff. They can handle a wide number of tasks including online medical research, medical data-mining and analysis and can prepare lectures. They can answer and screen calls, schedule patients and make patient reminder calls, send emails, manage your calendar and much more! Having a virtual assistant to take care of general administrative tasks can give you more time to focus on patient care.
Is my Virtual Assistant Reliable?
Yes! Every virtual assistant has at least 2 years work experience in the medical field. They have excellent written and verbal English language skills, as well as in-depth knowledge of medical terms and abbreviations. Every medical billing and coding specialist has experience with commonly used software including but not limited to EMR/EHR and Excel as well as Power Point for preparing lectures if needed. They are given extensive background checks and have gone through a thorough interview and recruitment process to guarantee you are getting the highest quality assistant for your business.
Taking Care of What Matters Most
Your staff is overworked and over extended. You are worried about your patients not having access to the quality care they desperately need. Whether you are in need of after-hours staff, or simply require a bit more time to yourself, virtual assistants can be a valuable investment to consider. Allow yourself more time to be at home with family and friends, or take a day off to play a round of golf.
