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, be sure to highlight that you are successful in organizing your day.

"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 The Ottawa 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 an organizational 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, its 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."

I am a highly organized person and I do carry this skill in the professional setting. In my previous experiences at the start of every shift we make plans for the day for each client, I also track clients' data efficiently and organized them accordingly. At the end of the day, I summarize and write out client daily logs and document them in the system. I have not had a medication error or data tracking error since the beginning of my job as a residential support worker.

Good, you're discussing organizational skills effectively, but I would recommend spending time on techniques to avoid errors. Is there a process you follow to check your work? Are there industry best practices you've learned about that you would apply under the right circumstances?
