The Ophthalmic Scribe Manual: A Guide to Clinical Documentation in Ophthalmology (2019) by Parker J Williams EPUB

Description

Product DescriptionThe Ophthalmic Scribe Manual is the ultimate how-to manual for learning to scribe in ophthalmology. If you’re interested in learning more about scribing in retina, cornea, comprehensive, glaucoma, or oculoplastics, this manual has you covered. Inside, you will find over 100 full-color figures and tables illustrating the most important concepts, Anatomy & Physiology, organized high-yield abbreviations, must know medications, must know imaging modalities, and high-yield specialty-specific pathology.About the AuthorAfter graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and prior to enrolling in medical school, my job search brought me back home to Atlanta where I accepted a position as an Ophthalmic Medical Scribe. I had no prior experience as a scribe or in the healthcare field, but I knew that quickly improving my understanding of ophthalmology would be essential for my success.I searched the web to obtain every piece of relevant ophthalmology information that I could find, and I spent hours experimenting with the functionalities of the eye clinic’s electronic medical record to better prepare myself for my new role. However, I found that it took a significant amount of time and effort to sift through the excessive online information before I was able to hone in on the relevant material.Due to the lack of designated ophthalmic medical scribe training resources and the vast amount of irrelevant information online, I decided that the creation of The Ophthalmic Scribe Manual was warranted. With over 3 years of scribing experience and over 20,000 patient encounters, as well as having published a variety of first author case reports and review articles in prominent ophthalmic medical journals, I am confident that my experiences will offer an immediate benefit to those seeking to excel in this rewarding profession.Review”Very well-written! This looks terrific and will be great for widespread use particularly in training programs, especially with the growing need for trained ophthalmic personnel.”

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a stellar reference book for quickly picking up the knowledge needed to be either an ophthalmic technician or scribe. It’s the best backbone of knowledge to piggyback further lines of questioning from. Every seasoned veteran in the office freaked out when I brought it in. Everything from equipment and high yield abbreviations to pictures of the eye drops, testing/imaging, and common disorders. Worth EVERY penny.

⭐I have a healthcare background but not in ophthalmology. I started as a Scribe in an eye surgery setting a few months ago. This book was a great resource of information for me to be prepared for what I was walking into. I’ve referred back to it regularly as I train. Highly recommend!

⭐Just received this in the mail and read through it. So much information and easy to follow. I’ve been a scribe and tech for 7 years and it covered everything you could need to know. Wish I had this when I started in ophthalmology.

⭐Great book.

⭐Comes in handy for todays ophthalmic scribe or tech. Very informative.

⭐If you are learning to scribe buy the book! This thing is amazing. Came fast, perfect condition. The information in it is absolutely EVERYTHING you need and more. Worth every single penny!

⭐This book is an invaluable resource for not just ophthalmic scribes, but for the entire ophthalmic team! It is so detailed with being concise and to the point, really focusing where it counts. A friend of mine, also a COA, bought a copy 5 minutes after skimming through mine!

⭐This book is amazing. It is definitely filled with information about the eye. I am a registered nurse in a neonatal intensive care unit where vision development begins and is a very important aspect in care of the babies. Excellent,easy to read format.
