Healthcare Administrative Assistant Jobs in Oregon

A Healthcare Administrative Assistant is a vital member of health care administration, providing crucial support to healthcare management teams. Their tasks entail organizing medical records, scheduling appointments, managing patient admissions and discharges, and assisting with billing. They also act as a liaison between the administration, the medical staff, and the patients by handling correspondence, answering queries, and providing information. Being the front line of communication, they must ensure efficient and effective administrative operations within a healthcare setting.

Important skills for a Healthcare Administrative Assistant include strong communication, ability to multitask, proficiency in computer and office equipment, and knowledge of medical terminologies. They should also present excellent organizational and customer service skills. A certification like the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) from the National Healthcareer Association can be beneficial. Typically, individuals might start their careers in roles like a Medical Receptionist or Medical Secretary, Health Information Technician, or even a General Administrative Assistant, before advancing to a Healthcare Administrative Assistant position.
