In a previous role, I encountered a patient who was extremely upset due to a billing error. I remained calm and empathetic, listening to their concerns without interrupting. I assured them that I would resolve the issue promptly. I then escalated the matter to the billing department and followed up with the patient to ensure they were satisfied with the resolution. This experience taught me the importance of active listening and persistence in resolving patient issues.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and complexity of each inquiry. For example, I would address emergency situations immediately, followed by those requiring immediate attention but not life-threatening. I use a ticketing system to track each inquiry and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. This method helps me manage my time effectively and provide timely responses to all patients.

I practice mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to stay calm under pressure. I also remind myself of the importance of my role in helping patients and maintaining their trust. Additionally, I take short breaks when needed to reset my focus. These strategies help me maintain a positive attitude and deliver high-quality service even during high-stress situations.

I double-check all information entered into the system to ensure accuracy. I also follow a standardized process for data entry, which includes verifying patient details with the patient directly before finalizing the entry. Additionally, I regularly review my work for any errors and seek feedback from supervisors to improve my accuracy. This meticulous approach helps me maintain high standards of data integrity.

If a patient requests information that I am not authorized to provide, I would politely inform them of the confidentiality policies and explain that I need to consult with a supervisor or the appropriate department. I would then escalate the request and follow up with the patient to ensure they receive the necessary information. This approach ensures compliance with privacy regulations while still meeting the patient's needs.
