LK MED108: Medical Records

This course provides a general overview and review of medical records practices in hospitals and healthcare offices. As the requirements for more and diverse types of documentation in medical records increase, the role of the Medical Records/Health Information Clerk in keeping the Health Information Management (HIM) Department functioning becomes more and more critical.

You will become familiar with confidentiality and release of information, and finally, you will be introduced to further functions/areas to which you might be assigned.
