Personal Perspective About Experience with Course Content
The course content has been student-centered, descriptive, and outcome-based, helping learners focus on the end goals and objectives. The course has adopted multiple teaching and evaluation methodologies to engage learners and reinforce their understanding of course concepts. The experience with the course content has been amazing so far, but also challenging. I have struggled to understand some concepts, derailing efforts towards achieving Student Learning Objectives (SLOs). Some medical terms, anatomy, and therapeutic and diagnostic procedures are complex and require maximum input to understand and memorize them. Achieving this objective requires super engagement with course materials and internet sources.
(Personal Perspective About Experience with Course Content)
I enjoyed learning about the history of medical coding classification systems used by healthcare organizations in the United States, including ICD-11, ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT and HCPCS Level II. Understanding the history is critical for medical billing and coding. All areas of the healthcare dynamics are governed by legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements. This course provided knowledge and insights into the legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements attached to the processes around medical record coding, billing, and reimbursement. Understanding these aspects is fundamental to the medical professional because medical billing, coding, and reimbursement are part of the practice and should be executed per the guidelines. I have also learned about the education, responsibilities and scope of practice of healthcare leaders’ roles in providing oversight of clinical departments and healthcare organizations. The course materials have been comprehensive in this regard, bolstering understanding and enhancing experience, which is vital for future careers.
