How did you bring value to your last position?

"The complaint amongst my co-workers that it took too much time to pull up commonly used codes in the ICD-10 manual. We brainstormed as a group to determine which codes were used most often and I created a cheat sheet for all of us to use. This cheat sheet saved us 80 minutes per person a day in coding."
