Overview

Electronic medical records, artificial intelligence and e-prescriptions have dramatically changed the practice of medicine.

Every time a client visits a health care provider, a record is made – a history of complaints, the physician’s observations, and prescribed treatment. Understanding and using these electronic records can be a daunting task, hampered by jargon, abbreviations, unfamiliar words and various digital formats. 

Professor Sam Hodge returns to the dais with his unmatched energy, graphics-intense format and entertaining delivery to guide you to case-clarifying sense. In this program he teaches:

  • The nuances of medical records in view of federal and state mandates such as HIPAA, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Cures Act and Medicare
  • How to cut through red tape in obtaining medical records at a fraction of the costs
  • How health care providers maintain and organize records, especially in view of electronic medical records and e-prescription initiatives
  • Common medical phrases and abbreviations as well as the terms used in the writing of prescriptions for medication and routes of drug administration
  • The crossroad involving medical and legal ethics
  • Practice and litigation tips every step of the way with specific references to statutes, regulations, court cases and medical record forms
  • How to understand the electronic medical chart and determining if the record has been altered or if material is missing
