What does it mean to have clerical experience and computer knowledge?
Asked by sportman16977
What all do I need to know? What does a lifeline assistant and registration clerks do at hospitals?

Best Answer:
Maybe touch typing and how to use 2 or more MS OFFice-like products (word processor, spreadsheet, database, etc.) Filing (putting hardcopy in a place and order which lets you (and preferably others) find it again) As a certification, a "computer drivers license" (more common in Europe) might be good evidence of computer knowledge. I expect a reg. clerk would check-in patients.

Clerical experience: experience working in an office, experience doing clerical work, experience doing paperwork Computer knowledge: experience working with a computer; usually followed by specific software: Word, Quickbooks, etc., familiarity with using a computer Registration clerks register people who are being admitted to hospital or who are coming for tests; they complete the online registration by asking questions and inputting into computer forms. Lifeline assistant: not sure, probably telephone monitor for those wearing beepers, pagers???? Elderly with medical conditions who have to call and have their pacemaker "read"?
