Publisher: Delmar Pub, 1995

Written with health care reform in mind, this new book covers a broad spectrum of subjects, from bioethical and legal issues resulting from advancing technology, to career success skills needed for the 21st century. Administrative tasks are discussed from both a manual and computerized perspective, with application problems available for both computerized and non-computerized environments. Performance-based outcomes based on the 1990 DACUM and performance-based assessments are woven into each chapter. Students form teams, solve problems, make decisions, interview, analyze, present panel discussions and engage in other work typical of that found in the real world. Portfolio assessment at the end of each part provides proof that students can meet the requirements of medical assisting.ALSO AVAILABLE -INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTS CALL CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO ORDERInstructor's Guide ISBN: 0-8273-7421-6Study Guide Software (3-1/2" disk) ISBN: 0-8273-8416-5
