The success of the healthcare industry thrives on the accuracy of information and organization. Talk to the interviewer about the ways that you ensure accuracy and organization in your day-to-day activities. Perhaps you use a particular app or software. Maybe you are a pen and paper person. Whatever your method, highlight that you successfully organize your day and that your documentation is highly accurate.

"I am a highly detailed person, and I thrive on having a high level of organization in my day. This organization includes my scheduling, paperwork, and more. If I am offered a position with Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, you will never find me to be disorganized! I utilize my Outlook calendar and set alerts for myself for deadlines and important activities. My documentation is strong as well."

"I'm a bit of a nerd. I carry around a notebook and write down important facts if I think there is a chance I will forget them. But this is usually just for transitions. Every clinic I've ever worked in has its way of communicating and recording facts, so I put time and attention into using the system the people around me are using. That way, it's easier to transition care, and the patient has all their info in the same place. My notebook saves me when I'm swamped, but I try to be efficient and put info directly into the [group record/EMR/chart] when I can. And, I always proofread my work before submitting it to ensure it is error-free."

If you have a letter of recommendation or past performance reviews highlighting your organizational skills and attention to detail, it is best to have a copy or two for the interviewer. When a supervisor commends you on those skills, it carries more weight than when you describe your skills to the interviewer.

I like pen and paper to organize details and prioritize activities. The EMR, computers, and cellphones are powerful tools if used efficiently will help promote accuracy in a timely fashion. Proofreading is an important aspect of accuracy. It is my goal to finish my work thoroughly and accurately within my shift.
