Job Outlook

Excellent. There are many employment opportunities for healthcare administrators. Hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes, surgical facilities, rehabilitation centers, emergency clinics. All healthcare settings need medical practitioners, but they also need highly trained managers and administrators.

As the healthcare industry expands to accommodate new treatments and an aging population, the demand for medical health services managers is set to explode. The US Department of Labor forecasts 20% job growth in this field by 2026*, which is several times higher than the average growth rate for all occupations.

*A career in this field may require you to meet certain licensing, training, and other requirements that can vary by vocation and state. You should check with your state, local government, and/or licensing board to find out which requirements may be applicable in your state.

Curriculum

Course Syllabus

HCA-101: Health Information Management

HCA-101 introduces the concepts of health information technology and management. In the age of the Electronic Health Record (EHR), staying on top of the latest trends in technology and federal legislation is a must for today's health care professional. This course is mapped to the latest CAHIIM domains and standards, and includes new coverage of e-HIM, EHRs, data integrity and security, ICD-10-CM implementation, and HIPAA. Concise and approachable, HCA-101 presents topics in simple language that readers can easily understand.

HCA-102: Ethics of Health Care

HCA-102 is an introductory course in the ethics of health care. We will explore the foundational principles of law, basic principles of ethics, the nature of rights, and standard ethical decisionmaking theories, and apply them to various issues that arise in the health care context, such as requests for futile care, euthanasia, abortion, informed consent, confidentiality, genetic testing, post-humanism, distributive justice, and professional gatekeeping

HCA-103: Medical Coding

HCA-103 provides the most trusted resources available to help students master today's most current 2020 CPT® and HCPCS diagnostic and procedural coding as well as the other precise guidelines established by federal agencies, Medicare and the American Medical Association (AMA). Carefully illustrated procedures, contemporary case studies and the latest practical coding assignments as well as memorable examples help students learn procedural coding for all medical specialties and successfully prepare for certification exams. This course’s resources also work seamlessly with CPT® and HCPCS Level II manuals.

MED-C201: Anatomy & Physiology

MED-C201 delivers a thorough overview of the basics required for the study of the human body and how it functions. It walks students step by step through a general introduction to life functions, terminology and phonetic pronunciations as well as an overall review of human development and body processes. This edition is aligned with Precision Exams' Health Science Career Cluster. A media link feature directs students to 3-D anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology animations that bring chapter concepts to life. Career Profiles give students insight into growing health care professions.

MED-C202: Medical Terminology 

MED-C202 simplifies the process of memorizing complex medical terminology by focusing on the important word parts -- common prefixes, suffixes and root words -- that provide a foundation for learning hundreds of medical terms. Organized by body systems, this course follows a logical flow of information: an overview of the body system's structure and functions, a summary of applicable medical specialties, and then pathology, diagnostic, and treatment procedures. Students master the language necessary to describe how each body system works, what goes wrong with it, and how to treat it, and then put their new skills into practice in exercises.
