THE BflUNSWICK BCACON I h r .'Balloons, Party & Flowers ?'$8L- 225 Smith Street, Shallotte ? 754-8888 il _ J j Medical Record Technology I Classes Begin Winter Term Brunswick Community College is gearing up to offer a new allied health program starting winter quar ter, medical record technology. Polly Decker, formerly assistant director of med ical records at New Hanover Regional Medical Center, has been hired as full-time in structor for the program. She holds a bachelor of science de DUCKER jn health record administration from York College of Pennsylvania, York, Pa. Students in the medical record technology program will be trained to process, maintain, compile and report health information. A gradu ate of the two-year program will be eligible to apply to write the national qualifying examination for certifica tion as an accredited record techni cian (ART). The new program is being offered as part of a regional allied health consortium project funded by a grant from the Kale B. Reynolds Charitable Trust Medical record technology was one of the health-re lated careers for which a high de mand in the region was identified. The technicians manage health in formation but do not participate in direct patient care. Among the classes to be offered in the curriculum are medical termi nology, anatomy and physiology, disease classification and indexing, medical ethics and law, quality as surance, medical record standards and regulations, and medical record content and maintenance. "The exciting part of being a medical record professional is being an integral part of the health care team," said Decker. "They interact with physicians and other health care professionals in many aspects of the health care delivery system." Most practitioners currently work in the medical record departments of hospitals. They help to safeguard ac curacy and privacy of patient infor mation and organize, analyze and maintain health data for patient treatment plans, insurance reim bursement, planning and research. Contributing to demand for pro fessionals in the Held are advances in medical science, computerization and the need to better manage health care costs. According to the U.S. Department of Labor the employment outlook for medical record personnel is ex cellent, said Decker, with graduation typically providing immediate em ployment-opportunities.
