I have extensive experience conducting preadmission assessments, having worked in this role for over five years. I am proficient in reviewing patient medical histories, conducting health screenings, and coordinating with physicians to ensure all necessary preoperative evaluations are completed. This ensures patients are well-prepared for their procedures, minimizing complications and enhancing the overall patient experience.

I maintain a calm demeanor and prioritize clear communication with both patients and healthcare team members. By staying organized and having contingency plans in place, I can effectively manage unexpected issues. Utilizing stress management techniques such as deep breathing and time management helps me maintain focus and efficiency during high-stress situations.

I believe in using clear, concise language and visual aids to explain procedures to patients. I ensure they understand the risks, benefits, and what to expect post-operation. Regular follow-ups and open-ended questions help gauge their comprehension and address any concerns. This approach empowers patients and builds trust, enhancing their readiness for surgery.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and patient needs. Using a checklist and scheduling tools helps me manage time effectively. Critical tasks like urgent patient assessments and documentation are addressed first. I also delegate when appropriate and maintain flexibility to adapt to changing priorities throughout the day.

I once had a patient who was extremely anxious about their upcoming surgery. I spent extra time listening to their concerns, providing reassurance, and explaining the procedure in detail. By showing empathy and patience, I was able to alleviate their anxiety and gain their trust. This interaction reinforced the importance of personalized care and active listening in my role.
