关于他的
NWACC's 健康信息管理（HIM） program prepares you to perform as an entry-level technician. Duties include organizing and managing health information data by ensuring its quality, accuracy, accessibility and security in both paper and electronic systems.
NWACC offers a two-year 工商管理学院应用科学副学士 that integrates medical science, coding systems, computer technology and health care management.
When pursuing the online HIM degree, you will take 20 credit hours in general education and 46 credit hours in HIM coursework. In-person internships consist of eighty-hour clinical rotations that will be held in the summer semester (first year) and spring semester (second year).
NWACC also offers an online 获得HIM编码技术证书 that is embedded into the degree program and requires 32 credits, which can be applied toward the HIM associate degree. Through this certification, you will learn medical billing and coding. This is the process of identifying diagnoses, medical tests, treatments and procedures found in clinical documentation and transcribing the patient data into standardized codes to bill government and commercial payers for physician reimbursement.
Successful completion of an accredited HIM program leads to an associate of applied
science degree and eligibility to sit for the Registered Health Information Technology
(RHIT) examination and the AHIMA professional HIM certification exam.
