Systems Administrator And Security ComplianceLong Island Consultation Center Jun 2020 - Oct 2022Queens, New York, United StatesI am the Systems Administrator at Long Island Consultation Center. I manage and analyze our Electronic Health Record (CareLogic) and create innovative ways to increase staff productivity and client satisfaction. We live in an uncertain and unprecedented time where people are more disconnected despite technological advances. My goal for our clinic was to adapt to the new normal, taking advantage of what technology has to offer, without sacrificing the quality of care that we provide our clients. I successfully completed this goal by spearheading the clinic's adaptation of Google Workspace, which included clinic-wide set up and individual staff training sessions. Setting up and managing Google Workspace facilitated confidential communication between our staff and their clients. The pandemic showed us the importance and benefits of telehealth practice. With this, I facilitated the clinic's move to Zoom Healthcare, a HIPAA-compliant audio-video platform. The combination of these improvements boosted our client attendance. -
