EMR: More HIT know how will certainly payoff
After you add some experience to your career in medical billing and coding, don’t think it’s the end of the road as far as your learning goes.
Tina Landskroener is a business office manager who also manages the medical records staff along with compliance and risk management projects. This 33 year old coding veteran is going back to school to keep pace with the new health information technology challenges that are cropping up at her business office manager job with Blessing Physician Services in Quincy, IL.
She’s become so involved in EMR changes at Blessings that she’s even planning to get her Master’s in health Informatics.
Landskroener, who knows how to accept change, began her career as a Certified medical Assistant, earned her CPC and CCS-P, and became active in Healthcare Compliance Association. Apart from having been in business for herself as a consultant, Landskroener has even taught billing and coding to students vo-tech students. She says that her experience as a teacher prepared her for management.
Tip: You need to master the next regulatory or technical challenge and teach others how to cope. Landskroener says that she learnt HIPAA, four years before it went into effect. Soon she became the go-to person for HIPAA compliance at her organization. (It was she who got to teach the physicians all about the new regs).
According to Landskroener, more HIT knowledge makes sense because she faces more and more challenges where HIT is a big factor – RAC audits, quality measurement, other important health information requirements coming out of the stimulus bill.
The deal: According to her, transitioning her physicians from an old electronic medical records system to a new one is a greater challenge than moving from paper to EMR.
