Hello! The high for today was 93 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning that it is now summer in Hermosillo.

This last week I have been working with my adviser, Paulina, on creating a new patient registration sheet. The previous format they had for patients was elementary, comprised solely of "Reason for the Visit" "Allergies/Previous Illnesses" and measurement of vital signs. This new registration we made is much more thorough and also complies with the Standard Clinical File of the Diario Oficial de la FederaciĆ³n. Moreover, in addition to the general practitioner patient registration sheet we made specified formats for the dentist, nutrologist, and psychologist. After reading pages upon pages about the standard clinical file, my adviser and I were able to compose a more professional patient file.

In addition to completing this patient registration sheet, I began the tedious progress of filing previous patient files into excel. In the hope of greater communication post-medical attention and for contact during fundraising months, I have been tasked with writing down the phone numbers, emails and neighborhoods of previous patients. This electronic archive will aid in keeping in touch with patients and also better focus the Red Cross' fundraising efforts based on geographic location of patients.

My new assignment for this week, in addition to keep working on the electronic archive, is to research what information is needed on a patient registration file for an ophthalmologist and dermatologist.
