Associate of Arts - Health Care Administration / Medical Records
The Associate of Arts - Health Care Administration, with emphasis in Medical Records, offers students a basic overview of medical records management practices. It also lays a foundation for further study in health care at the bachelor's degree level. The concentration courses focus on medical terminology related to disease diagnosis and treatment, patient information management, and medical claims processing. In one course, software-based instruction simulates a variety of records management processes commonly found in medical facilities. This program provides foundation skills in medical record keeping. However, it does not lead to certification in medical coding practice or any other related practice.
