In a clinical setting, medical information changes on a daily basis. Physicians serve as practitioners in the medical community. They provide key information to medical students, residents, as well as nursing staff that help with their growth and development. Simons, Morgan, and Davidson (2012) stated, “in order for physicians to practice medicine successfully and become learners for life, they need to know how to search and manage the medical information they discover within their patient-centered context.” As a practitioner, physicians understand that these skills are necessary in order for their medical students and other medical staff becomes experts in their chosen field.

The training includes knowing how to input data into medical office based software accurately and in a timely manner. This insures that the insurance, doctor, and patient gets billed and paid correctly and on time for services rendered. Having the ability to input a

Although EMR’s may be taking over the medical world, paper medical charts remain the most well recognized form for keeping medical records. There are however some things within paper charts that some medical personnel might argue make it a primitive aspect of the medical field. One argument in itself is that the abundance of paper that is utilized in paper charting doesn’t stand up to the “green” society we aspire to live in today. “Paper charting used to take so long, the papers would always get unorganized, they took up so much room in the nurses’ station and the worst was waiting for a doctor to finish with a chart so I could chart what I needed to” (Brittney Guggino LPN, 2012). Another acknowledged concern with paper medical charts is the illegible handwriting of clinicians, which is a common, longstanding problem. Being unable to read orders clearly creates an added risk when dealing with patients treatments, medications etc. Paper charts may be familiar but they come with many downfalls and it’s these downfalls which may sway a person’s decision in the opposite direction in regards to the

When people think about jobs in the health care field, it can be easy to assume that most jobs involve direct, hands-on patient care. What many people don’t realize is that administrative jobs are equally vital to ensuring quality health care services. Medical billing and coding is an important piece in the administrative puzzle that makes up the vast health industry. As with most administrative jobs, medical coding and billing professionals need to have excellent attention to detail, as one wrong code or inaccurate statement can have an extremely negative

The field of healthcare administration is growing at a steady pace to bring about efficient service to all the patients (Harris, 2015). Currently, many specialists have emerged to ensure good health to all individuals at affordable rates. For instance, there is the healthcare documentation specialist, formally known as medical transcriptionists, who are highly-skilled health personnel, dealing with the process of transcribing, verifying, or converting spoken (voice-recorded reports) as dictated by a healthcare professional (Skurka, 2017). The prepared report henceforth becomes part of the permanent health record or history of the patient that can be used in future reference.

The main audience a PT is writing to are people who have extensive understanding or are in the field. Their purpose is to use that information for billing and to help make medical decisions which both greatly impact the patient. Due to the potential impact of their understanding of the PT’s writing, the writing must be specific, descriptive, and contain jargon. A specific documentation layout named SOAP was created for PT’s to use to make sure all essential information is gathered.

Healthcare is one of the biggest and most important fields throughout the world. Within healthcare, there are several careers such as medical billing and coding which contribute for a better healthcare. Medical billing and coding plays an important behind-the-scenes that role in the health care system. The majority of medical billing and coding “specialists rely on their knowledge of anatomy, medical terminology, health conditions, and medications to assign diagnostic and procedural codes for each patient encounter” (Ewing, 1999).

A reflective essay on the skills acquired from collaborative learning and how they may be applied in practice.

My initial thought was that the amount of writing that would be required in medical school or when practicing medicine would be a lot, but Corey explained that, the amount of writing is not as important as the quality, being able to accurately describe a patient’s condition in a concise manner, as well as trying to filter out any unrelated or unimportant information is one of the most challenging parts of writing in medicine. He also stated that, “Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems are very complicated and detailed, if you are not careful you could end up spending too much time behind a computer and not enough time interacting with your
