Medical professionals who work with important patient data are required to abide by federal and state laws, as well as accreditation and regulatory agency requirements that govern the handling of patient information. As such, it is extremely important for medical professionals to remain up to date on the emerging technological trends as well as regulatory requirements. This course focuses on the common practices and procedures performed by medical office professionals using Electronic Health Records. The course employs a hands-on approach to teach students how to input, modify, and maintain patient information, schedule appointments, upload external documents, and create and print reports. These skills are required to work within the medical field for both large hospital-based systems and small local practices.
