I am a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian by profession which I practiced for almost 7 years in a hospital setting. My previous job was as a Clinical Dietitian in a JCI accredited hospital. My job includes doing my daily rounds to screen and assess newly admitted patients’ Nutrition status. If they appear to be Nutritionally-at-risk, I need to make my Nutrition Care Plan in SOAPIE format and type it in my patient’s EMR. We use a different EMR which is IQVIA Arcus Air. My job also needs to communicate with medical doctors, nurses, and other allied medical health professionals to make our health plan aligned as a multidisciplinary team. I’ve also experienced answering calls from our out-patients, scheduling a face to face or virtual appointment depending on their preference.
I attended a virtual training for 2 weeks with VAs of the future using e-clinical works, our coaches taught us about the roles of a medical VA which includes medical receptionist, medical scribing, prior authorization, insurance verification, telemedicine, and HIPAA.
