@ireneotieno
Registered Nurse, HIPAA-certified Medical VA & BBA graduate skilled in patient coordination,telehealth,customer support,scheduling n healthcare admin.
What I'm looking for
I support healthcare teams by managing clinical documentation, insurance workflows, patient coordination, and remote administrative processes.
Through The MedVA Launchpad, I drafted referral letters, insurance authorizations, and patient correspondence while building hands-on capability in EHR management, intake, scheduling, billing procedures, pharmacy coordination, and HIPAA-compliant remote support.
During nursing rotations at MP Shah, AKUH, Gertrude's Children's Hospital, MNTRH, Kiambu, and Westlands Sub-County facilities, I delivered supervised care across medical-surgical, pediatrics, emergency, maternity, psychiatry, and community health settings. I maintained accurate patient records, supported triage and maternal-child health clinics, and applied therapeutic communication and patient monitoring.
I've also provided home health care for chronic conditions and supported operations at Dobo Systems, where I coordinated schedules, documents, stakeholders, project deadlines, and digital systems. I bring nursing-informed clinical understanding and business-focused organization to reduce administrative burden and prevent care delays.
