I have settled into work rather well lately. There are always new things for me, but I've developed a simpler rhythm over the last month or more. At the same time, there have been some very new things for me, like becoming a member of a unit committee and taking on the entering of pediatricians' phone/address info into Excel.
The Committee
As a new 2006 employee of AMC, I was not required to be part of a committee, but since the new year I have begun the orientation to "QuadraMed" - our patient classification system. As a committee member, I'm in the process of becoming a SuperUser, someone who learns the system more than the average staff member. In addition, the QuadraMed program is changing - in the next month - from a ScanTron process to an online software program. The amount of work with this committee is staggering.
