The established lesson plans for Medical Records Administration are purely lecture-based. In the past, I enhanced the lesson by using PowerPoint to display screenshots of the various medical systems used to create a patient medical record. Now, incorporating technology of a higher level, I Substituted the pictures in the student texts with the actual records system brought up on an overhead projector connected to my PC.
I Augmented the lesson by navigating to different areas for these systems as students asked questions regarding functions not covered by their texts. This is a great benefit as their questions could not only be answered by teacher expertise, but by seeing their answer within the system.
The course is now Modified to be more student-centric rather than teacher-centric, as the lesson moves from the expo-demo format to students creating their own medical records using the actual systems at their desktop through laptops provided by the schoolhouse. This enhances learning as students take the opportunity to get creative (and funny) in their "dummy" patient names, diseases/injuries, and other medical documentation.
The technology used in the lesson now has Redefined student outcomes. Instead of learning the terminology and steps to create a record, I can now task the students with scenario or project-based learning by having them look up patients, navigate to sections within the systems that were otherwise not possible. I can provide the students with medical documentation and have them digitally load them into a patient's record. These are tasks they would not otherwise get to practice until they reach their actual job. Students now arrive at their new work centers with a working knowledge of records management.
