EHR will become the primary means of documenting, transmitting, and securing patient information. A basic knowledge of medical terminology, electronic health records, and hospital or laboratory procedures is preferred. The nation is entering a new era of health care where providers must use electronic health records to improve patients’ health and the way health care is delivered in this country. Healthcare employees with EHR training may find employment in hospitals, chiropractors, medical and dental offices.

Medical Office Simulation

MedCertify has included the Medical Office Simulation Software (MOSS) 3.0 in this program.  MOSS is a computer program designed to simulate the activities of a medical office. This software is be used by medical students to develop practical skills and knowledge in managing patient records, scheduling appointments, billing, coding, and other administrative tasks.

Using this software can provide several benefits to students, such as:

  1. Practical Experience: Medical students can use this software to gain practical experience in managing a medical office without the need for real-life patients. This experience can help them become more confident and efficient in their future medical careers.

  2. Time Management: The software can help students learn how to manage their time effectively and prioritize tasks based on urgency.

  3. Accuracy: The software can help students learn how to accurately record and manage patient information, ensuring that records are up-to-date and error-free.

  4. Cost-effective: The use of simulation software can be a cost-effective way to provide medical training without the need for expensive equipment or facilities.

  5. Self-Paced Learning: Students can learn at their own pace and can repeat activities until they feel confident in their skills.

Overall, MOSS can provide medical students with practical experience in managing a medical office. It can help them develop essential skills such as time management, accuracy, and patient record management, which can be valuable in their future medical careers. Each of our program offers different MOSS simulations that are relevant to the program they are completing.
