We value our staff members at Piedmont Eye Center, and we want our patients to get to know them better! Each month, we introduce you to one of the people who keep our office going. Next in our “Meet the Staff” series is Misti! If you have ever visited our office, Misti has most likely taken care of your medical records.
What is your role at Piedmont Eye Center?
I work in the Medical Record/Scanning department. I started in 1996 in medical records. Back then it was a full time job and then some, finding charts and moving charts into each clinic area daily. My job gradually changed as Electronic Medical Records (EMR) came into play. For a while, I was scanning some charts in and still gathering charts for each clinic day. Now, we are fully on EMR, so while I am not searching for physical charts, I am scanning in test results and referral information into the EMR system.
