Necessary Paperwork at Valley

This week I got to experience the not so glamorous aspect of a cardiologist's office. There is a lot of archiving paper work that has to be done in order for the studies to be managed. The office I intern with has an aneurysm watch program. They follow up on patients for many years after they have been treated in order to record data. I had to fax over echo charts to a database. It was not the most fun day but it showed me the importance of paper work in an office.
