Course Lessons |  | Lesson 1 - History of Medical OfficesMedical offices are a newer feature to the healthcare field, arriving only in the last century as people began to move to areas where hospitals were not conveniently located. | Lesson 2 - Types of Medical OfficesIf you're deciding to set up your own office, you will want to note that certain practices are better suited to the medical office setting than others. | Lesson 3 - Medical Office StaffInstead, the medical office is comprised of several different positions, all designed to help the doctors continue to see patients as effectively as possible. | Lesson 4 - Medical Office ManagementWhen there is a management team, the office can run smoothly and problems can be avoided or they can be dealt with easily. | Lesson 5 - Computer SkillsThough many medical offices now have forms that patients can fill out easily, there are still some items that will require word processing skills. | Lesson 6 - TelecommunicationsWhile some medical offices are allowing patients the chance to schedule their appointments online, this is not a process that is typical for many long time patients. | Lesson 7 - Appointment SchedulingScheduling appointments is made easier with the right appointment scheduling software, but there are systems that you can try out to see if they help you manage patient schedules more easily. | Lesson 8 - Proper Patient CareBut in the eyes of a patient, being cared for not only includes treatment, but it also includes having a supportive experience when heading to the doctor's office. | Lesson 9 - TriageTriage is a system in which a person assesses the condition of a patient to see if their health needs are more important than others who are on the phone or in the room. | Lesson 10 - Handling Medical EmergenciesWhile no medical office wants to think about it, medical emergencies do happen on site, and they can happen when you least expect it. | Lesson 11 - Office Maintenancewhen you want to make sure your patients feel comfortable and safe, you need to make sure the office is as well maintained as the skills everyone has earned. | Lesson 12 - BillingHaving a standard billing practice in place will help to ensure patients get the care they need and that the medical staff can be paid for their services and hours spent in the office. | Lesson 13 - Medical TerminologyMedical terminology is the practice of naming different medical conditions through a system of Latin and Greek terms. | Lesson 14 - Medical CodingWhile a medical office may not have to handle extensive coding, knowing the basics can help to ensure future billing issues do not occur. | Lesson 15 - TranscriptionNot only does this allow for more accurate notes and note taking, but transcription also saves time for those who need to review notes of a patient in the future. | Lesson 16 - Medical RecordsIn order to make decisions about health care and medications, it is essential that medical offices have a clear and organized system of medical records | Lesson 17 - Privacy PracticesWhen it comes to patient medical histories, privacy is essential. Each patient needs to feel that when they come into a medical office, their information is going to be kept safe and secure. | Lesson 18 - Medical EthicsEthics tends to be a subject that is overlooked in medical practices, as this is something that people simply assume is being thought about and addressed in every patient encounter. | Lesson 19 - Hospital ResourcesThere are numerous resources that a medical office will want to have in place so that when the time comes for testing | Lesson 20 - Medical Office EducationWhile medical office workers are often trained in their particular fields, when you are starting a medical office, it can be a good idea to learn about how to specifically run a medical office. |
