Healthcare terminology provides a standardized “language of medicine” that allows healthcare providers and HIM professionals the ability to get their daily work done. The July Journal of AHIMA features an article discussing the important role healthcare terminology plays in information standardization.
In this audio feature, the co-authors of that article, June Bronnert, director of terminology coding at Intelligent Medical Objects, and Chip Masarie, IMO’s chief terminologist, discuss in layman’s terms just what medical terminology is, why it interests them, and how HIM professionals use terminology on a day-by-day basis.
I am looking forward to this class. I agree that it will be interesting to know how to use the tools to correctly do the job
I love how one of the speakers talks about bringing order to chaos. There are so many different branches of the medical field but they all connect to one purpose. Getting your team in order takes a highly motivated individuals.It takes more than one person to keep a team running smoothly and successfully, it takes each person doing their job to the best of their skills and knowledge.
I believe that understanding medical terminology can create a quicker response and reaction from the medical professionals and possibly save ones life by speeding up the process.
I’m looking forward for this class there many different medical terms that I’m willing to sit threw and listen.
Understanding medical terminology is interesting . In the medical world you need it I look forward to the class.
I think that without medical terminology it would be very difficult to do your job. I am so ready to get going and started in this class.
I knew that medical terminology was very important and necessary in the medical field, but, the illustration about the bike, bicycle, and mountain bike was a great way to explain the “many ways to say the same thing, yet mean something different. I personally would hate to take a “bike” on a mountain trail. The illustration really expounded on the importance of grasping the understanding of knowing the correct spelling and pronunciation in medical terminology.
