Hospital Admitting Clerks Day in US

A hospital admitting clerk is responsible for processing patients when they arrive at a hospital. They ask patients pertinent questions and ensure that all necessary paperwork is properly completed so that patients can be admitted. They may need to transfer data from the paperwork to computer files, and update patient files as needed. In some respects their work is similar to the work of a receptionist, because they will answer calls and greet those arriving at the hospital. Once the patient's paperwork is processed it is transferred to the patient's file or the appropriate medical personnel so that the patient can receive treatment.
