EHR 100: ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS

2 Credit Hours

The purpose of this Electronic Health Record course is to introduce students to software used to gather, track, and store the clinical and administrative information of patients seen in the medical facility. This information is used for coordinating patient care; for filing claims for reimbursement; for reporting practice information to insurance carries, as well as government and nongovernment agencies; and for gathering statistics about the types of patients treated at the facility. Students will use an EHR clinical practice management (PM) and an electronic health record (EHR) software throughout the course to demonstrate the common electronic health concepts and functions performed in a medical office, hospital, or other healthcare facility. This is a hybrid course. Health, fire, and safety are emphasized in each course of this program.
