Описание программы

The Associate of Science in Healthcare Administration degree program provides students with the foundational skills required for healthcare administration using up-to-date information and technology. Students will gain experience using the practice management software, Medisoft, to learn how to manage patient billing, apply ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes, and use electronic health records software to learn how to manage patient health records.

After students complete the core courses, they can focus on professional tracks in billing and coding, pharmacy technician, and surgical instrument processing to further develop their skills. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment in several healthcare occupations is projected to grow between 7 – 23% between 2018 to 2028. There is expected to be an increase of 23% in need for Medical Office Assistants, which is much faster than the average for other occupations. The demand for Pharmacy Technicians and Medical Records, and Health Information Technicians is expected to be faster than the average for other occupations.
