Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Discussion 1

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Electronic   Health Record Nomenclatures

Refer to Guided Exercise 12: Tabs on the Medcin Nomenclature Pane (p .87) of the text.  Follow steps 1-6 in the Medcin Software.  After you complete the exercise, in a 250- 300 word post, explain how the EHR nomenclatures differ from other code sets and classification systems in several ways.  Discuss some of the unique features of nomenclatures and how they are used to identify and cross reference and communicate with other systems.  Respond to two of your classmates’ posts. Please note: Access the software early in the week in case you encounter a problem. This way you have time to resolve the issue before the discussion is due.
