Brief Introduction
Health Information Technology HITDescription
The Electronic Health Records Program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary for entry-level positions in a medical office, hospital, insurance office, or any type of medical facility utilizing EHR. Students will be exposed to real-world exercises using software to create patient records, lab reports, notes, and code setting. Additionally, students will gain a solid understanding of the legal aspects of patient confidentiality and disclosure of medical records. The completion of a certificate-level program does not typically qualify a student for employment. Completion of this program may assist students who have no previous medical experience or work-related experience improve their chances for entry-level employment.
