Stand by, we'll show you...
Bridge House Medical Centre has an exciting vacancy for a Document Administrator at our 9389 patient GMS practice in the heart of Stratford upon Avon town centre. We are a long established and highly regarded family practice.
As a Document Administrator, this role will be responsible for coding and appropriate action of clinical correspondence in a timely, but accurate, manner to ensure safe patient care.

The correct handling of this information is vital to ensure safe patient care and the efficient running of the practice.
The inbound documents will be correspondence from the NHS and other health care organisations regarding our registered patients care. For example, ambulance reports, procedure reports, discharge summaries etc. The pertinent information will need to be extracted and applied to the patients clinical record, on EMIS, alongside the clinical document.
The paper documents will be scanned into our document management system, Docman, by another member of the team. However, in rare cases such as absence, this process will need to be understood and undertaken by the Document Administrator.
The electronic patient information will automatically import into Docman and on an occasion, into our clinical system EMIS.
