Accreditation of the HIM emphasis by the American Health Information Management Association is anticipated in Fall, 1996. • Long-Term Care Administration: Prepares students to function as administrators in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a foundation in management principles and human relations, introduce them to the long-term care field, and give them operational experience in nursing home management. To function as an administrator in long-term care, one must be licensed. For licensure, most states require the completion of a bachelors degree in health administration or a related area, an extensive administrative internship, and the successful passing of an examination offered by the National Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administrators. • Medical Record Technology: Medical Record Technicians perform the essential functions of maintaining health data and records in acute, long-term, and ambulatory health care settings. Opportunities also exist in related health care settings, e.g., insurance companies, medical clinics, computer software vendors, and health maintenance organizations. These functions include, but are not limited to: the coding of diseases and operations; maintaining statistics; transcribing medical reports; performing DRG and utilization review procedures; and supervising employees. The Medical Record Technology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs in cooperation with the American Health Information Management Association. Successful completion of the MRT two-year program leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree and the student is then eligible to sit for the national accrediting exam. Students passing this national examination may use the professional designation of ART (Accredited Record Technician). • Advanced Discipline Studies * Radiological Sciences Respiratory Therapy Dental Hygiene *Students choosing advanced discipline studies must complete a minor from within the College of Health Professions or from a program outside the college with the approval of the appropriate program director. » Program Prerequisite: Acceptance into the program (see Admission Requirements below).
