In my previous role as a Provider Assistant, I encountered a situation where a patient's family was upset due to a long wait time. I approached them calmly, explained the reasons for the delay, and offered them refreshments. I also ensured they were updated regularly about the doctor's estimated arrival time, which helped in calming their frustration and maintaining a positive relationship.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, using tools like to-do lists and calendars to manage my workload effectively. For instance, if there are critical patient care tasks and administrative duties, I ensure the former are addressed first to maintain patient safety and satisfaction, while scheduling the latter for optimal efficiency.

I maintain accurate records by double-checking all entries for errors, using standardized forms, and keeping detailed logs of patient interactions and transactions. Regular cross-verification with colleagues and immediate updates after each patient interaction also help in minimizing errors and ensuring data integrity.

If I disagree with a decision, I would respectfully express my concerns, providing evidence-based reasons for my viewpoint. I believe in the importance of open communication and collaborative decision-making to ensure the best outcomes for patients. If necessary, I would escalate the issue to a higher authority while maintaining professionalism and respect.

In my previous role, I implemented a feedback system where patients could easily share their experiences. By analyzing this feedback, I identified areas for improvement, such as clearer communication about treatment plans. Implementing these changes led to a noticeable increase in patient satisfaction scores, demonstrating the positive impact of proactive patient engagement.
