4 Main Differences Between a Veterinary Technician and a Veterinary Assistant

By Rowena Fernandez

Within the veterinary career field, many often assume that the position of a veterinary technician and a veterinary assistant is the same thing. But it actually isn’t. There are many differences between these two despite how similar they may seem.

The biggest difference would be the job scope. A veterinary technician has a broad array of task and duties. They play the role of the nurse, anesthetists, and laboratory and radiology technicians. They also administer jobs and do the basic hands on work. A veterinary assistant on the other hand, serves as an extra set of hands with the daily clinical work. They help keep the surgical tables and tools clean and also handle most of the front desk work such as scheduling appointments and such. If there are overnight patients, they assist in feeding, exercising and cleaning as well.

In addition to that, another difference would be in education. As a veterinary technician you would be able to graduate within two to four years from an accredited program depending on the depth of the course. On the other hand, as a veterinary assistant, a higher education isn’t really necessary as you can just go through a short course or training program by the employer.

Furthermore, there is also a vast difference in benefits such as salaries. Although the sum of income depends on the location, a veterinary technician makes about $26,000 to $40,000 annually while a veterinary assistant make about $14,000 to about $25,000 at the most.

Also, there is a difference in job opportunities as well. As both jobs are at high demand, there is no doubt on job security. But it varies on locations. In example, a veterinary technician could work in hospitals, zoos, animal shelters, biomedical facilities and diagnostic research laboratories. Whereas a veterinary assistant is grounded to clinics, hospitals, pet stores and shelters.

In conclusion, there are many differences between veterinary technicians and veterinary assistants, aside from the 4 main ones mentioned above. So if you’ve been assuming the jobs are similar, think again.

Medical Assistant in a Modern Medical Practice

By Mark Stout M.D.

Many physicians are unsure of what tasks are appropriate to assign to a Medical Assistant. It is important to remember Medical Assistants are not licensed to make independent medical assessments or give advice. Although many Medical Assistants may have advanced training in certain clinical areas it is ultimately the responsibility of the supervising physician or other licensed health care provider to assure that their staff and Medical Assistants working in the office are performing duties in compliance with all governing laws.

Physicians must determine the skill level and capabilities of each Medical Assistant they supervise and take into account liability risk and quality control when assigning them their responsibilities. Physicians should provide initial direct supervision and periodically assess the quality of their work. In practices with nurse managers, medical assistants can receive additional supervision coordinated to maximize workflow in a practice. Communicating the Medical Assistant roles to other staff and clearly delineating their responsibilities is important in maximizing the productivity of the health care team.

Although legal requirements addressing the Medical Assistant scope of practice vary by state, the Medical Assistant generally works under the license of their supervising physician or the managed care organization that employs them.

Below are some of the duties that a typical medical assistant may perform (it is important to check with local and state medical boards to determine what duties a medical assistant can legally perform. It is also important to remember that a medical assistant is not a physician, nurse, physician assistant or other licensed health care provider, they must therefore always be supervised by the appropriate licensed health care provider, after all it is the medical practitioner whose license is most at risk.) The role of a medical assistant may be split into both administrative and clinical tasks.

Typical Medical Assistant administrative tasks may include:
Work in reception, answer telephone, schedule appointments, process medical billing, keep financial records, file medical charts, telephone prescriptions to a pharmacy, transcribe dictation, send letters and triage patients over the telephone using a protocol to determine the acuity of the visit and the visit-length for scheduling purposes.

The clinical tasks of a Medical Assistant vary greatly by state and other local laws as well as the policies of a medical office or the health care setting were they are employed. Some of the supervised clinical tasks of a Medical Assistant may include: escorting the patient to exam room, carry out-patient history interviews, take and record vital signs, prepare patient for examination, provide patient information/instructions, assist with medical examinations/surgical procedures, set up and clean exam rooms, maintain medical supply inventory, restock medical supplies in patient rooms, perform venipuncture (in certain states), administer immunizations (also only in certain states), collect and prepare laboratory specimens, notify patients of laboratory results after evaluation by a physician, schedule patient appointments, translate during medical interviews with non-English-speaking patients, give prevention reminders, instruct patients about medications or special diets, basic patient medical education, perform some basic laboratory tests, prepare medications as directed by the office physician, assist in performing ECGs.

Additional medical assistant duties may include: helping to develop educational materials, educate patients about procedures, negotiate managed care contracts, manage accounts payable, process payroll, document and maintain accounting and banking records, develop and maintain fees schedules, manage renewals of business and professional insurance policies, manage personnel benefits and maintain records, perform marketing, financial and strategic planning. Also, help develop and maintain personnel, policy and procedure materials, perform personnel management functions, negotiate leases and prices for equipment and supply contracts.

There are many laws that govern the function of a medical assistant and other medical office staff members, so a Medical Assistant should never perform any duties or functions unless specifically instructed by their supervising physician or other licensed health care professions.

Although legal requirements addressing Medical Assistants scope of practice vary by state, Medical Assistant generally work under the license of their supervising physician or the managed care organization that employs them. If you have any questions about the legal role a medical assistant may play in your practice please contact your local state medical board for advice.

How to Start a Career As a Pharmacy Technician

By Keith B. Nelson

Pharmacy Technician is a solid career choice. Health-care jobs are predicted to steadily grow over the next decade. In fact, labor and industry forecasters all seem to agree that most health-care job numbers will keep increasing over the next decade. The aging baby-boomer population reaching their golden years is a major indicator of health-care’s upcoming growth. And, pharmacy is tied into health-care at nearly every level, which means that being a pharmacy technician should prove the be a stable career path over both the short and long-term.

What Do Pharmacy Techs do? Pharmacy Technicians have a wide range of duties since they work in a variety of venues. The majority of techs work in retail stores. Other environments include Hospitals, Long-Term Care facilities, Mail-Order pharmacies and Military bases. Insurance companies also hire experienced pharmacy techs to audit paperwork and adjust claims. Most pharmacy technicians work directly with customers / patients under the direction of a pharmacist. They may perform many of the same duties as a Pharmacist and must have a good working knowledge of the pharmacy operations. Besides counting out tablets and ringing up orders, pharmacy technicians also decode prescriptions, enter data into computers, create labels, make and receive phone calls, rotate stock as well as countless other duties.

Pharmacy Technicians do much of the work in a pharmacy, but they can’t do everything. They may not answer questions about medications or give any advice whatsoever. They can tell a customer where to find “over-the-counter” products and even read the words from the packaging. However, they can never personally advise anyone to use any type of drug product. Overall, a pharmacy technician’s main goal is to assist the pharmacist in helping patients and customers. They are expected to be attentive and accurate, but also friendly and knowledgeable.

Job Seekers Must Change Search Habits to Get in the Health IT Game

March 10, 2011 | Molly Merrill, Associate Editor Healthcare IT News

MARYSVILLE, WA – Job candidates with IT experience or interest are not broadening their searches to include jobs in the healthcare IT field, even though experts say it is ripe with opportunity, according to MedZilla.com. 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that healthcare jobs increased by 34,000 in February – more than three times as many jobs created in January. And although layoffs were reported to be up in February, only 1,337 were in healthcare, according to outplacement consulting organization Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

“Healthcare remains a consistent growth industry in the U.S.,” said John Burkhardt, managing director of  MedZilla.com, a website for professionals and employers in pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical sales, biotechnology, science and medicine.

“It’s not just doctors and nurses, though, that are benefiting. As the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – health care reform – comes closer to its final effective date in 2014, information technology roles will continue to grow in both scope and number,” he said.

“People who never thought they’d be getting jobs in healthcare might someday be reporting to hospitals or medical technology firms,” Burkhardt added.

February’s candidate search numbers from MedZilla.com speak to Burkhardt’s point – companies seeking qualified applicants increased their search activities by 2.5 percent in February. Companies who increased candidate searches in general were mostly located in California (up four percent) and New Jersey (3.1 percent); however, numbers dropped significantly in North Carolina and Texas – both down 3.3 percent. Job postings by employers and job searches by applicants remained fairly even, month-to-month, with only New Jersey showing a significant change – up 1.3 percent in postings and 1.2 percent in searches.

“We haven’t seen corresponding changes – in New Jersey or anywhere else – with technology-minded applicants looking for jobs in healthcare information technology,” said Del Johnston, MedZilla’s manager of Client Relations. “Our numbers for the past few months haven’t shifted much one way or the other. It’s still very possible to scoop everyone else and try to get in on the ground floor with health care IT.”

HIT:Who are the employers?

Who are the employers? There are many organizations already in and getting into the EHR market place today, due to the government support for EHR adoption.

Some organizations looking for qualified staff includes:

• •Healthcare providers (e.g., Hospitals, Home Health Agencies, Nursing Homes etc.)
• Hospitals are looking for support to help grow their staff to support both hospital-based implementation, as well as support for their owned physician practices
• Physician Organizations (e.g., Independent Physician Association, large scale practices)
• Regional Extension Centers (REC)
• Non-profit organizations funded by the government to work with primary care practices to help them adopt, implement and use EHR systems. In New Jersey, NJIT is the state federally funded REC
• EHR Vendors (There are more than 300 in the current marketplace)
• Value Added Resellers (VARs)
• Companies that specialize in a few EHR vendor products and offer full level support
• EHR Consulting Companies
• Medical Malpractice Insurers • HIT Providers (e.g., clearinghouses, e-Prescribing entities, laboratories, etc.)

Health Information 101

By http://www.hicareers.com

Health information professionals care for patients by caring for their medical data. They ensure that all of a patient’s health information is complete, accurate, and protected, yet readily available for healthcare providers when needed. There are three professional and academic areas of health information that you can learn about below: Health Information Management, Health Information Technology, and Health Informatics.

What is Health Information Management?

Health information management (HIM) is the practice of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care.

Health information management professionals work in a variety of different settings and job titles. They often serve in bridge roles, connecting clinical, operational, and administrative functions. These professionals affect the quality of patient information and patient care at every touchpoint in the healthcare delivery cycle. Having skilled HIM professionals on staff ensures an organization has the right information on hand when and where it is needed while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity, confidentiality, and security.

HIM ptrofessionals are highly trained in the latest information management technology applications and understand the workflow in any healthcare provider organization from large hospital systems to the private physician practice. They are vital to the daily operations management of health information and electronic health records.

A career in HIM is right for you if you:

• See yourself in a career that offers diverse opportunities.
• Would like to work in health care, but not directly with patients.
• Have an aptitude for science, but also like management, law, and computers.
• Enjoy working with professionals: physicians, nurses, lawyers, administrators and executives.
• Want a career where you can choose to work on your own, with others, or some of both.

HIM programs incorporate the disciplines of medicine, management, finance, information technology, and law into one curriculum. Because of this unique mixture, HIM graduates can choose from a variety of work settings across an array of healthcare environments.

A Growing Number of Health IT Jobs, but a Shortfall of Talent

By Harold Biswas on December 14, 2010 in Computer/Math/IT, Health Care, WANTED Analytics.

With an 11 percent growth rate in 2009, Health information technology (HIT) is outpacing all other segments of the health care market, according to Scientia Advisors of Cambridge, MA.  Scientia Advisors predicts that in the near term, government incentives in the U.S. will catalyze hospitals’ and physicians’ adoption of clinical HIT applications.  There is a government mandate that began last year to improve healthcare efficiency involving Clinical and Non-Clinical data, driving the industry towards Administrative, Management and Financial/Accounting solutions. The HIT is Electronic Health Record Technology related to an individual’s health information. This information may include patient demographic and clinical health information, such as medical history and problem lists and has the capacity to provide clinical decision support.  According to research by Scientia, In-patient Electronic Health Records (Clinical Health Information Systems) will continue to be a fast growing market.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which mandates that hospitals and physicians switch to electronic medical records by 2014, spurred industry growth with a $49 billion investment. This spells job growth in the Electronic Medical Records fields. The industry is growing so quickly that it is expected there will be a shortfall of 50,000 health IT workers in the next five years.

According to data sourced from WANTED Analytics™,  in the last 120 days alone Employers in the U.S. Hospital, Physicians, Dentists and Ambulatory Health Care industry sectors directly posted 3,900 new job ads containing the skill keywords “electronic medical records”.

Candidates for one such open position, titled Clinical Documentation Specialist are being sought by the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ. Knowledge relative to physician clinical documentation within electronic medical records is a required qualification. The job description is as follows:

Source: WANTED Analytics 

A recruiter looking to source appropriate talent in the Phoenix market for this position would find the new Talent web sourcing application in the forthcoming WANTED Analytics™ 3.0 platform to be a useful tool. The Talent web application will help the Recruiter identify three major Business Intelligence components for this search:

1. Estimate the talent pool in Phoenix, AZ by “electronic medical records” skill keyword
2. Gauge the current competition for similar talent in Phoenix, AZ
3. Identify Employers who had in the past advertised for similar talent (where qualified candidates may still be working)

A Keyword query in Talent would look like this:

Medical / Health; Medical Records and Health Information Technicians; “electronic medical records”; Health Care and Social Assistance in Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale MSA, AZ.

This search query produces the following Candidate Supply count graph:

Source: WANTED Analytics 

The graph shows that in U.S., there are a total of 130,647,610 employed people. This number becomes the baseline for talent estimation by skill keyword. In Phoenix, Arizona there are 1.77 million people and about 173,000 of them are in Medical/Health functions. All the data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics OES (Occupational Employment Statistics) Survey. About 2,800 people in Phoenix, AZ who are working in Medical Records and Health Information Technicians occupations. Among those, an estimated 1,400 are working in the Health Care and Social Assistance industry sectors.

The skill keywords “electronic medical records” search four years of data for Current and Prior job postings in the Phoenix, AZ market for the Medical Records and Health Information Technicians occupation. Looking at the keyword ratio of job postings among all the job ads in Phoenix for Health Care and Social Assistance industry in the same occupation, Talent applies the same ratio to the BLS industry Supply Count (1,450) and estimates that there are 116 skilled people in the “electronic medical records” field in Phoenix.

So, the talent pool that the Mayo Clinic will be able to tap into to find their desired candidate for the Clinical Documentation Specialist position is an estimated 116.

A Prior Hiring map, as below, shows the job locations where employers advertised for this skill in the past and most likely filled those positions.

Source: WANTED Analytics 

The Talent app produces a search result page on Current and Prior Employers for this skill-set in the Phoenix, AZ market. The screenshot below shows that there are currently 2 employers, Banner Health and Banner Boswell Medical Center, competing for the same talent from an estimated pool of 116 people.

Source: WANTED Analytics 

However, in the past, as the search result page indicates, 11 employers sought the same type of candidates. Candidates that match the search requirements could still be working for these employers. Banner Health appears on both the Currently Hiring and Prior Hiring list. Since, Banner Health is looking for same skill-sets which they had employed earlier, it may be very difficult to source a talent from that organization. They are a current competitor of Mayo Clinic for the same talent.

Davita advertised for a “Medical Records Facilitator – DNP PHX MSO” position in June 2008. From reading the job description below, it seems similar to the qualifications currently sought by the Mayo Clinic. Therefore, the person hired by Davita to do the job could potentially be an ideal candidate for the Mayo Clinic’s current open position.

Job Description Medical Records Facilitator – DNP PHX – MSO – Tempe, AZ
Primary Accountabilities organizes and manages the daily functions of medical records through
Centricity-EMR (Electronic Medical Records) program and transcription. Resolves interface
errors between EMR, Centricity-PM and various laboratory organizations. Super user for EMR
and coordinates preload efforts. Responsible to maintain and send all referring physician,
consult and primary care physician letters. Performs other duties as assigned. Organizational
Accountability Maintains communication with pods regarding status of interface issues.
Participates in and supports departmental quality improvement programs and processes.
Supports confidentiality of patient information.

Going to a well-known resume data bank, such as Monster.com, a recruiter can locate a person with a name and number who has worked with Davita or is still working there in Phoenix, AZ and supposedly has an “electronic medical records” skill-set.

Monster’s resume data-bank shows 15 candidates in Phoenix who have at one point worked with Davita. Five of them are still there. However, many of them are especially skilled in medical work, more so than health information technology. Studying the resume profile, the Recruiter can prepare a shortlist and approach the selected persons to establish their interests to move from Davita for the Mayo Clinic.

The LinkedIn Recruiter platform is also a useful source for locating appropriate talent. A search with the keyword “electronic medical records” and current company Davita reveals 5 different persons. None of them are in Phoenix, AZ area, but if for some reason the Monster.com candidate leads do not work the way the Recruiter intends, then these people could be approached as well. One person, currently at Davita as a Business Development Specialist in Dayton, OH was critical, according to the LinkedIn profile, in promoting the adoption of DaVita’s newly released Health Record technology.  So, it could be worthwhile to approach this person in Dayton to establish interest in relocating to Phoenix.

The Talent web sourcing tool helped to estimate the size of passive candidate pool, gauge current competition and identify employers where a person could be located and approached, narrowing the search for appropriate talent and providing leads on passive candidates who might be interested in a new position.
