“Our recovery plan will
invest in electronic
health records and
new technology that will
reduce errors, bring
down costs, ensure
privacy, and save lives.”
~President Barack Obama
V. Using Electronic Health Record
for Reimbursement
Course covers the use of electronic health
record (EHR) for clinical functions such as
entering any medical history, recording physical
exam, assessment, creating a plan of treatment,
requesting and receiving lab results, requesting
of prescription electronically, creating problem
list of medication, diagnosis list and any other
clinical related information for the patient care
and services.
An example of this would be calculating outof-pocket costs for the patient on a scheduled
service based on the type of insurance carrier
he has. An information management system
provides coverage amounts, covered services
and deductible and copay requirements, so
someone accessing a patient’s record would
automatically know whether a particular test is
covered, how much of the cost is covered and
how much to bill the patient.

Classes will introduce both parent and child to
the pleasures of preparing and enjoying “real
food” that is both nutritious and delicious —
an essential step toward health and wellbeing. Parents and children will learn how
to fit snacks in a healthy diet; which snacks

fruits and vegetables, how much protein and
carbohydrates are needed daily for adequate
energy, activity and growth. Students will also
learn basic cooking skills, the joy of eating and
cooking with fresh fruits and vegetables, and
how to become empowered and conscious
consumers in a marketplace that spends
millions to persuade children to eat highcalorie, low-nutrient products.
Increase your emotional intelligence to succeed
at work and improve personal relationships.
This 3 session seminar will teach you to
identify, assess and utilize your emotions, as
well as, the emotions of others. You will learn
how improving your self- awareness, selfmanagement and social awareness, will lead to
more successful management of relationships
in all areas of your life.
This 3 session seminar is taught by
Dr. Jeff Gardere, better known as “America’s
Psychologist.” Dr. Jeff is one of the most soughtafter experts in the field of mental health.
