Description:


*This course is designed to prepare students for the Electronic Health Records Management Certification.

Access to health information is changing the ways doctors care for patients. With the nation’s healthcare system moving to the electronic medical record, numerous employment opportunities exist for medical assistants, health information systems staff, patient registration professionals, and other related positions. Healthcare professionals with the ability to understand, update and maintain electronic health records are in great demand.

Learners will review the implementation and management of electronic health information using common electronic data interchange systems and maintain the medical, legal, accreditation, and regulatory requirements of the electronic health record.


Details:



• Describe the role of the electronic health record specialist
• Explain the organization, storage, and management of the health record in a medical facility
• Explain the legal requirements related to health records and patient information
• Use EHR software to perform health record tasks
• Explain how the health record information is used to complete the claim information
• Discuss various reimbursement methodologies


This program is intended for those who have little to no electronic health records management experience and seek to be employed as a Electronic Health Records Manager in a clinical laboratory or public health department setting.

Students must have or plan to receive a high school diploma or GED. Participants must also possess a minimum of 10th-grade level math and reading skills.
