What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote healthcare role where I can use HIPAA-compliant administrative support, EHR/EMR documentation, and telehealth coordination to improve patient communication, scheduling efficiency, and data accuracy.

I’m a Detail-oriented and HIPAA-certified Medical Virtual Assistant with over 2 years of remote experience supporting patient communication, EHR/EMR documentation, appointment scheduling, and telehealth coordination. I focus on precision, confidentiality, and dependable administrative support for virtual healthcare practices.

In my recent role with Medpharm Consult Limited, I updated EMR charts, lab results, and documentation with zero data-entry errors. I handled patient reminder calls and follow-ups, reducing no-shows by 30%, and triaged inbound messages to reduce inbox backlog while improving response time.

Before that, at Sherif Women's Health Clinic, I managed new patient onboarding and demographic data with 99% accuracy. I scheduled appointments, ultrasounds, and follow-ups to maintain smooth patient flow, and supported telehealth visits by preparing charts and setting up virtual rooms.

I also bring telehealth-focused support from GreenCare Family Clinic, where I maintained a 97% on-time appointment rate and produced patient intake summaries and visit notes with 98% documentation accuracy. I coordinate referrals, follow-ups, and prescription requests—reducing administrative delays by 25%—and ensure HIPAA guidelines and clinic compliance are followed.
