Optometric Scribe

Midwest Eye Consultants is looking for a Scribe to join our Fort Wayne team. As a Scribe, you'll work side-by-side with our doctors and clinical team, helping document patient visits, support examinations, and keep patients moving smoothly through their care.

No two patients are the same-and no two days are exactly alike. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable healthcare experience while developing skills that can open the door to future career opportunities within our organization.

What You'll Do:

• Accurately document patient information in the electronic health record (EHR) as directed by the doctor during examinations. • Assist optometrists and ophthalmologists with patient procedures. • Help ensure the doctor has the information needed to provide efficient, high-quality patient care. • Escort patients to Optical and introduce them to the Optician while reinforcing the doctor's recommendations. • Obtain and document patient medical histories. • Prepare patients for eye examinations and vision therapy. • Perform preliminary and ancillary vision and diagnostic testing. • Provide patients with appropriate instructions regarding medications, tests, and procedures. • Assist technicians with clinical and administrative responsibilities. • Coordinate patient scheduling and help maintain an efficient patient flow. • Communicate appropriately with patients when delays occur. • Answer phones and assist with appointment scheduling. • Maintain doctors' appointment books and assist with patient recalls. • Help ensure exam rooms are clean, stocked, organized, and ready for the next patient. • Monitor inventory of medications and supplies.

What We Need:

Required:

• High school diploma or equivalent.

Preferred:

• Previous optometry or healthcare experience.

You don't need to know everything on day one. We're willing to teach and invest in the right person.

Who We're Looking For:

• Detail-oriented and highly organized. • A strong communicator who enjoys working with people. • Accurate and efficient when entering information into an EHR. • Comfortable with keyboarding and computer-based documentation. • Dependable, professional, polite, and courteous. • Adaptable and able to stay focused in a fast-paced environment. • A team player who is willing to jump in wherever help is needed. • Passionate about helping others and providing excellent patient care. • Eager to learn new skills and grow professionally.
