So, what is it you want to talk about regarding typewriters?
I’d like to hear from an RN or Doctor who worked in the 1960’s exactly how they filled out BC forms (I’m not going to assume they had typwriter at nurse’s station) and then from someone in government how they processed the birth certificates from start to finish...but I don’t see either on your resume..
However, you are asking a question about Hawaii practices.
The Aloha state is a bit more laid back than you'd imagine. Plus, the long distance calls are expensive.
I don't have to work in a doctor's office to find out what their standards of practice are. We are talking about a center that specialized in maternity, and another center that specialized in filing public health records. You can study that field at Northern Virginia Community College and/or George Mason University in this area. You will meet people there who will teach you about Medical Records ~ you will improve your vocabulary learning hundreds of medical terms. Medical records management around here in our top level hospitals (which are the best in the United States) is pretty much the job of two kinds of folks ~ records management specialists and computer systems specialists.
I doubt your typical doctor knows all that much about it although they have had to learn how to use their computer terminals to record prescriptions given to patients, and to check on their schedules (with yet other non doctors doing the appointment scheduling).
Have you been in a hospital lately?
