The Johns Hopkins Hospital Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) displays responsible behaviors, communicates effectively to others and functions as a member of the healthcare team. The CMA functions under the direct supervision and authority of the physician when performing clinical tasks during patient care. The CMA reports to the clinic manager, who is responsible for administrative supervision, staff development, and orientation of the CMA to the area's policies and procedures.
The CMA maintains an inventory of examination/procedure room supplies, assists in the organization of efficient patient flow, and organizes the clinic environment to assure patient safety. The CMA participates in medication and procedure education for patients and their families by providing brochures and literature and may administer meds as ordered by provider. The CMA records care provided in patient medical record.
The CMA role in our area is unique. Primary responsibilities include assisting with procedure setup, providing procedure assistance and time-out documentation, performing mean arterial blood pressure measurements for preeclampsia screening patients and inputting research data, chaperoning for ultrasound exams and other sensitive examinations, assisting with high-level disinfection processes, ordering clinic supplies, maintaining inventory, and transporting reusable surgical equipment to and from Central Sterile.
At times when clinic volume is lower, the CMA may provide support to the neighboring Nelson unit. This support may include assisting clinical staff with obtaining patient vital signs and completing other patient care support tasks as needed.
