If you want to play a key role in health care WITHOUT a degree in medicine, this is your opportunity. Health records is one of today's fastest growing health care careers. Every time a patient visits a doctor's office, clinic, hospital or emergency facility, a record is made of the observations, lab tests, diagnoses, procedures and treatments received. Health records specialists review the accuracy of the information, obtain additional information from the appropriate source, process it and file it.
Ashworth University's comprehensive distance education program begins with basic medical terminology and steps to organize the patient chart. Next, you'll learn about applying specific compliance procedures as a result of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); working with health insurance carriers and claims; and using electronic medical records systems in hospitals and physician offices. Then, you'll discover how to collect, assemble and file the contents of the medical record; how to analyze records for proper physician notations; and how to correct files.
There are no educational prerequisites or experience requirements to enroll. Soon, you could be making a good living, working alongside medical professionals and contributing in an important way to the delivery of health care in your community.
