KSA # 1: Knowledge of medical terminology.

While working at the Atlanta VA Medical Center I developed a tracking database for Fee Basis. During the design phase of the project it became necessary to familiarize myself with medical terminology in order to communicate with staff about data fields that were to be included in the database.

Other duties required me to interact and communicate effetely with doctors and nurses. Understanding medical terminology was essential in order to perform my duties at a high level. These duties and tasks routinely exposed me to medical terminology and health care issues.

KSA # 2: Knowledge of computer software (e.g., VISTA and CPR databases, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) and standard office machines.

In my previous position at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, I designed and implemented a complete marketing expenditures database utilizing Microsoft Access software. This required interviewing[i] pertinent department heads and targeted users to obtain information on desired elements and data fields of the proposed system. In addition, I converted the current records to the automated database. Utilizing the capabilities of the Access database system I performed analyses on the data and designed and produced data tables, queries, Excel pivot tables, reports and charts based on the data.

While at Universal Management, Inc. I initiated a complete new computer system installation and conversion, a reorganization and overhaul of the accounting management systems, and innovative payroll tracking system.

KSA # 3: Skill in coordinating multiple activities, organizational skills and ability to solve problems independently and to prioritize workload.

I have strong organizational skills with the ability to quickly diagnose unproductive processes and

    Discuss the importance of a thorough knowledge of medical terminology in coding. The health care industry has one common language, medical terminology. Medical terminology which is used in health care is multi-syllabic and has precise meaning. It is specific to diseases and refers to every part of the human body. It is transferrable so the patient can have continuity of care from one physician to another physician, along with all the health care workers. Coders will need to know medical terminology to understand what the physician is scribing in the patient’s medical record so she can abstract and correctly assign the ICD-10 and CPT codes.…

    Competency Goal 1 To establish and maintain a safe, healthy learning environment To establish and maintain a safe,healthy learning environment as teachers we must establish rules and routines that children can help prevent us from getting sick or hurt. The way I maintain this is by making sure that my children learning environment is safe and clean on a daily basis. Before the children arrive, I check all indoor and outdoor equipment on a daily basis. I clean toys and play equipment on a weekly basis. If I have any issues with toys or any play equipment I report this to my director. As my children arrive, I do my daily health check to make sure I am aware of the condition of each child. If I feel that something I see is suspicious I know to report it to the Florida Abuse Hotline at 18009622873. As mandated reporters we are required by law to report any suspicious activity dealing with the the children we deal with on a daily basis. During learning times I include safe and healthy habits in our lessons and routines to keep ourselves safe and healthy. For example, we wash our hands be fore we eat, sneeze ,cough, before we start a new activity , before we eat snack, after we use the restroom. Before I take my class outside I do a playground safety check to make sure that the playground is safe for my children to play and free from dangerous hazards that can hurt my children. If while I am outside one of my children get hurt I have my first aid kit and my incident report on hand. If the situation is severe we have walkie talkies I can call for help or have some one call 911. As a teacher I feel that it is very important that we keep our classroom learning environment clean and safe from harm. As teachers it is our responsibility to lead by example and model the safe and healthy behaviors that will carry our children though…

    As a preschool teacher I support my children’s physical development by playing an indoor game such as leap frog. Where my children stand in a line and the first person in the line ducks down on the knees like a dog and the second child in line leaps over like a frog. The children continue to do this until the first who gets to the finish line. The children enjoy this physical activity very much. This activity is perfect when the weather outside is not so good. When the entire class is playing together and making a good team, is when I know that this activity is a keeper. When the weather is good and sunny outside I love the game tag! This physical activity absolutely promotes energy and gives the children a reason to run with laughter and excitement.…

Medical billing and coding is an important piece in the administrative puzzle that makes up the vast health industry. As with most administrative jobs, medical coding and billing professionals need to have excellent attention to detail, as one wrong code or inaccurate statement can have an extremely negative impact on a health care facility.…
