What I'm looking for
With over 5 years of hands-on experience in the healthcare sector, I am an accomplished healthcare professional specializing in Epic electronic health records (EHR). My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing clinical workflows and patient care documentation. Currently, I am pursuing an Epic Accreditation through virtual classes, which reflects my dedication to continuous learning and professional growth.
In my current role as a Patient Care Technician at Main Line Health Systems, I respond to patient emergencies with critical thinking and provide patient-centered care. I have successfully trained new hires on Epic navigation and clinical workflows, which has significantly improved team efficiency.
