Program name:

HI-6500 Medical Scribe and Administrative Professional

Program description:

Traditionally, for every hour that physicians provide direct face time to patients - 2 more hours are spent on Electronic Health Records and other clerical work. A strategy to decrease this clerical burden is to use Medical Scribes trained to document patient encounters in real-time. Since the EHR is at the core of a Medical Scribe’s daily job functions, students are taught knowledge of medical clinic workflow systems by engaging and interacting with a Simulated Software Application. The book and software activities included in this program use a building block approach to learning the medical clinic workflow processes. This approach ensures students are prepared to synthesize and organize medical data into a coherent entry, so that it complies with office protocols, federal regulations, and insurance requirements. Graduates will be prepared to take the Apprentice Medical Scribe Professional (AMSP) certification exam, issued through the American Healthcare Documentation Professionals Group™. Additionally, the role of a Scribe will include clerical and administrative functions, graduates are also prepared to sit for the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) exam sponsored by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA).
