Course Description

This course builds on the foundation provided in Healthcare Documentation I (HIMS 2220) and bridges the gap between easy-to-understand dictations and the more difficult and complex dictations in a healthcare setting. Students entering the field as a health documentation specialist, editor, or scribe develop proficiency in the use of editing, cloze, and speech recognition technology and are prepared for their careers in private practices, clinics, hospital settings, or as self-employed entrepreneurs.
