I use IBM computers for almost all my transactions, from patient medical records to inventory control each time I sell a pair of eyeglasses. I use computers for all personnel records and for various insurance, government, or other forms--in fact for all “paperwork.” I use the computer for all financial management, as well as for generating reports for patients. Since my office relies so much on computer use, I have several backup systems.

I do all of my typing on the computer, also using the computer to spell check my work. If I can’t find the spelling of a drug or medical procedure, I go online where I have zillions of web sites available to me. When my work is done, I send it via e-mail to my boss.

When I was doing dietetics, I used a mainframe computer for hospital menus to do nutritional analysis of regular and special diets. Now, as a PTA President, I use it for meeting agendas, correspondence, and for monthly and annual records. Also, I’ve done different award certificates.

I use computers in my work at Alexandria Hospital to record the images from endoscopy exams, to schedule patients for procedures or tests, to access the hospital database for patient information, and receiving test results. My unit also has a computer controlled drug dispensing system.
