What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare operations professional with 8+ years of experience in practice management, patient coordination, and customer experience, and I’m now focused on excelling as a Virtual Medical Assistant. I manage EMR/EHR workflows, appointment coordination, insurance verification and authorisation, and patient communication with HIPAA-aligned regulatory compliance, while keeping clinical operations running smoothly through digital workflows, dashboards, and CRM/EMR platforms.
In my recent role as a Practice Manager, I led operational performance across multidisciplinary departments, strengthening controls to achieve 100% regulatory compliance with zero audit deficiencies. I also improved decision-making through monthly operational and financial KPI dashboards, reduced patient waiting time by 30%, increased patient feedback participation by 40%, and improved complaint resolution to 95%, while overseeing EMR data entry and digital scheduling accuracy. With GMT+1 remote readiness, fluent English, and experience supporting high-volume patient needs remotely, I bring a reliable, service-focused approach to virtual care and practice operations.
