From the front office staff to nurses, doctors, health information professionals, coders, and every worker in between, understanding how health information is transferred and how that information can improve the quality of healthcare is a valuable skill. Those working in healthcare settings will be impacted by electronic health records as they complete their daily tasks. Developed as a comprehensive learning resource, this hands-on course for Integrated Electronic Health Records is offered through McGraw-Hill's Connect. Connect uses the latest technology and learning techniques to better connect professors to their students, and students to the information and customized resources they need to master a subject. Integrated Electronic Health Records complements the online Connect course and is written by authors with extensive backgrounds in health information management/health information technology in the case of M. Beth Shanholtzer, MAEd, FAHIMA, RHIA, and clinical/administrative medical assisting in the case of Amy Ensign, MBA, BHSA, CMA (AAMA), RMA (AMT).

Attention is paid to providing the "why" behind each task, so that the reader can accumulate transferable skills. The coverage is focused on using an HER program in a doctor's office, while providing additional information on how tasks might also be completed in a hospital setting.
