Career Step, Leading School In Growing Health Documentation Industry, Adds Online Reference Tool
Career Step, the nation's leading medical transcription school, provides students with access to new online medical documentation reference tool, Benchmark KB. Developed by experts at the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and transcription industry technology veterans at InterFix, BenchMark KB brings together an extensive collection of online medical transcription reference materials into a single application to help Career Step students prepare for positions and meet growing demand in the health care documentation industry.
Springville, Utah (PRWEB) January 29, 2009 -- Career Step is pleased to announce a partnership with InterFix to use BenchMark KB (Knowledge Base), the industry's first application designed to increase the quality and speed of medical transcription through the use of a centralized, standardized electronic health information resource. This product is available to all new students as part of their training package beginning in January of 2009.
Career Step offers new BenchMark KB online resource to medical transcription students.
Medical transcription is a career requiring constant verification of facts, terminology, dosages, values, names, drugs, and much more. Since most transcriptionists are paid based upon production, time spent searching through resources is time spent not transcribing and thus, not being paid. With Benchmark KB students will have access to all of these resources in one place. And unlike print materials, KB resources are automatically updated so students never have to worry about the accuracy of the information. The KB was created to save time and effort, which translates to efficiency and increased pay. Career Step is proud to offer this useful resource to their students in a continuing effort to provide the tools and skills they will use in their workplace.
Another benefit for students is an electronic membership in The Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI), the world's largest organization working to advance health data capture and documentation by setting standards for education and practice in the field of medical transcription/editing. That means Career Step students have access to professional development tools, credential testing, the Professional Practices Network, and the HealtheCareers Job Bank. Students also have access to limited AHDI Help Desk functions.
This partnership is designed to take students from their studies through to their career as a medical transcriptionist, and beyond. Thanks to the new partnership between InterFix and Career Step, new students receive free access to BenchMark KB with their training, and existing Career Step students can obtain the KB at a discounted price. This new resource is sure to make navigating the volumes of medical information much easier for students and make their Career Step studies and their careers in health information successful.
