MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY, ANATOMY, & PHYSIOLOGY
Medical coders work in all health care settings, hospitals, clinics, physician offices, long-term care, surgical centers, and insurance companies. The choices are plentiful. Medical Terminology, Anatomy, and Physiology is required for all medical coders and exams. As a coder, you will need to be familiar with medical procedures and services involving information regarding patients' symptoms, diagnoses, diseases, injuries, treatments, and test. It is important for a coder to know the human anatomy, physiology and medical terminology in order to assign codes. The ability to recognize anatomical structures and systems is crucial. These are typically grouped into the following areas: Body Structure, Functions, Cells, Tissues,Membranes, Skeletal System, Muscular System, Nervous System, Endocrine System, Cardiovascular System, Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Digestive System, Urinary System, Reproductive System and so on. Use your medical knowledge in terminology, anatomy, and physiology to help build a long-term career in health care occupations, hospitals, medical practices, clinics, specialty practices, laboratory, clinics, insurance, medical billing, medical coding, or for coding prep exams. Needed for medical documentation, reports, doctor’s notes, laboratory findings, surgery, patient history and physical examinations, diseases, diagnosis, medical test, pharmacology, operations, and many other health occupational procedures performed in hospitals, medical and health care facilities. Use this course as a stepping stone to the medical coding career you’ve always wanted. |
This program can provide you with knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology to help give your career an advantage. It goes beyond the medical terminology and gives you a more in-depth understanding of the body and related terminology needed for coders. Realistic cases studies and examples will help prepare students for the real world of health care. Interactive exercises and activities will reinforce expert learning. Audio will help build pronunciation skills to a higher level. Critical thinking case studies provide immediate real world understanding of medical scenarios needed in coding diagnosis and treatment. Learn important concepts that students will need to know for success now and in the future. You will gain a detailed understanding of the systems of the body and related anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology. Learn to recognize word structure and abbreviations, and decipher a word based on its prefix, root word and suffix. Reach your goals with specialized learning. For beginners, non-medical professionals, and medical professionals who want to enhance there skills or improve job performance. You Will Cover: Prefixes, Suffixes, and Word Building Tools for proficiency. Medical Terminology, Anatomy, Physiology throughout the program with each specialty. Abbreviations, Diagnostic, Procedural, Laboratory Terms, Pathology Terms, Surgery, and Procedures. Diseases and Disorders. Laboratory Values.

Structure and Function sections provide an overview of the body system (anatomy) with important terms. Combining Forms and Abbreviations introduces medical terms used in ordering and receiving laboratory reports, making diagnosis, and performing medical procedures. Pathological Terms covers a range of diseases and conditions for each body system needed for coding. The Surgery Terms provide and overview of common surgical procedures performed per each body system needed for coders. The Pharmacological Terms covers the classes of drugs used to treat illness of the systems being discussed and provides examples of both generic and trade name medications. Case Studies provide you with realistic health care situations. Critical Thinking following case studies are essential in developing your decision making skills as a future health care professional in coding or other medical profession. Interactive Learning is provided to enhance your learning of medical terminology. Knowledge of anatomy is essential to code in any medical setting. Medical Terminology, Anatomy, and Physiology for Coders is a straight-forward guide to all body systems. Use it for a learning tool or for a handy reference. Your can start learning vital medical knowledge to get you started on the right road toward coding success.
