Introduction
On–the-job Training (OJT) is one method by which students are given a chance to apply the theories and computations that they have learned from the school. It also helps the students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills by performing in actual work setting. Colleges and universities require their students to undergo such training within a specific number of hours as part of the curriculum.
For the students, an OJT or internship program provides opportunities to go through the actual methodologies of a specific job using the real tools, equipments and documents. In effect, the workspace becomes a development venue for a student trainee to learn more about his chosen field and practice what he/she has learned from the academy.
On the other hand, an effective OJT program also benefits the companies who accept trainees. First OJT or intern provides additional manpower for lesser labor cost than a regular employee. Most of them are all eager to learn the ropes so chances are high that they will cooperate.
OJT’s can bring fresh ideas into the organization. Given the opportunity to speak their minds freely and without fear, they may be able to contribute significantly in brainstorming sessions or research and eventually help improve the organization productivity. While training the interns, employers are in fact also teaching their employees to process of guiding the trainees stretches their patience, develops teaching skills and makes them more sensitive to the needs and mind set of the younger generation. The course of supervision also teaches them how to share what they know and be receptive to questions. Hence, the internship also becomes an avenue in training for future managers of the company.
Accommodating on-the-job trainees can truly be beneficial not only to the trainees but also to the companies that provide opportunities for this type of learning. There is wisdom in the front lines. Such training can be investment that will be valuable to the company later on. This is also why trainees should take their internship seriously as it can become a powerful tool and possibly even source of recommendation when they take that big lift from being students to career professionals.

Preface I, as the students of Bataan Peninsula State University- Balanga Campus in Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems, am required to take an on-the-job training to be undergone for 200 hours. I chose Orani District Hospital as an organization which I believe that I can gain valuable and meaningful experience. I was assigned by the Chief of Hospital, Dr. Ferdinand Valencia in Billing Department. I already experienced working in that office because I was also assigned there in my summer job in 2010. The billing officer, Mrs. Anita Mina refreshed me with new working patterns and new system in the office. She provided me enough concepts to do my entire tasks efficiently. The lesson and experience in this requirement are presented quietly inspiring, meaningful and simply interesting. I wish to express my appreciation for the assistance, warm welcome and support I received not only from my department but from the whole hospital staffs of Orani District Hospital and to my school for the achievements while we are in the training.
Mission
To provide equitable access to quality health delivery to its client emphasizing the value of integrity and personal dignity of patient as well as of its care provider.
Vision We envision Orani District hospital to be a model secondary government hospital that can provide the services and amenities of a private hospital free of charge or at a minimal cost to the patient with a community of dedicated health workers committed to efficient health care delivery.
History
The late Congressman of the lone district of Bataan, Honorable Jose R. Nuguid, Sr. envisioned and proposed the construction of an Emergency Hospital in his hometown Orani, Bataan. It was created under RA 3995 sponsored by Congressman Jose R. Nuguid in the year 1962, ten years before it was implemented.
It was through the efforts and diligence of the late Governor Efren E. Pascual Jr., that the Department of Health approved the construction of Orani Emergency Hospital on May 2, 1972 with a 5 bed General Ward and a Delivery Room, which was initially housed in the Home Economics Bldg., of Orani North Elementary School. The pioneer employees were Chief of Hospital I- Dr. Gerardo A. Acantilado, Administrative Officer I- Mr. Orestes C. Cayetano, Staff Nurse- Ms. Aurora A. Soyangco, Nursing Attendants- Ms. Rosita C. Magat, Ms. Virginia V. Sebastian, Ms. Sinfrosa Magat, Ms. Marcia Madlang Bayan, Mr. Felimon Tria, Ms. Mercedita Cruz and Ms. Anita Punzalan. In July 1972, Orani Emergency Hopital was constructed in a 6,464 meters land donated by Ms. Ma. Fe Tanjutco at Ma. Fe Subdivision Orani, Bataan thru the joint effort of Dr. Gerardo Acantilado and Vice-Mayor Serafin V. Roman. Full hospital operation in the new site started August 1972.
In 1980, Assemblyman Antonino P. Roman, Jr. and Governor Efren E. Pascual Sr. worked for the expansion of the hospital through USAID by a construction of a two new building that housed the Administrative, Dietary and X-ray section. During this time, the concept of District Health System was implemented by the Department of Health that the name Orani Emergency Hospital, by Congressional Act was changed to Orani District Hospital in 1982, and due to integration of health services; Orani, Hermosa and Samal were the catchment area of the hospital.
In 1993, the hospital was developed to the provincial government as mandated by the Local
Government Code. Complementary new positions were created and filled up under the administration of Governor Enrique T. Garcia, Jr. The total work force of Orani District Hospital has been seventy one (71) staffs and personnel. In 1993, through the effort of Congressman Felicito C. Payumo, the Department of Health approved the authorized 50-bed capacity of Orani District Hospital.
The saddest day of ODH history was on December 21, 1997 before the break dawn, the whole hospital building was gutted by fire and the only disaster building, the garage and the doctor’s quarter was left. But, even fire can’t stop the growth, progress and the mission and vision of Orani District Hospital. The doctors, nurses, ancillary, and the administrative force joined hand in hand to stand up for common cause under the leadership of Dr. Barbara C. Reyes. On February 1998, a new building was constructed under the presidency of Fidel V. Ramos has worked on by 1st District Congressman, Felicito Payumo and Governor Leonardo B. Roman. On August 25, 1998 the new Orani District Hospital was inaugurated but the hospital services were downgraded to primary.
In 1999, the Unified Local Health System of Orani District Hospital was launched covering the municipalities of Orani, Samal and Hermosa.
In September 2, 2002, the hospital 45 beds was upgraded to Secondary Hospital Services.
And as of now, ODH is still continuing its services, accomplishing ODH’s mission and vision.
Accomplishment As we have completed the required documents for OJT, the Chief of Hospital, Dr. Ferdinand Valencia welcomed me and my classmates in the office. He gave some instructions for us. He said that he wants us to log in the logbook every time we arrived and depart from the office. He cracked some jokes for us to be comfortable with him.
I was requested to be assigned to the Billing Office by the billing officer, Mrs. Anita Mina, because I was already trained there in my summer job in 2010. At first, I really felt nervous though I know that they are really approachable. But as they talked to me, I felt comfortable. They asked me question regarding my course, my life and my plans.
In the first few days of my OJT, I was asked to make monthly reports of the patients in the hospital. I started making the reports for June 2011 up to present. Each month has 4 reports and it took me a week to finish all the reports, since I’m searching all the details alone and computing the total of money involved for that month.
Since I’m on the billing department, she explained the new charges and on how to compute the bill of the patients. She gave me her trust in receiving money for the payments for small charges of OPD. I really felt good that she really trusts me and I know to myself that I won’t ruin the trust that she gave me.
