I have been working on my online practicum throughout this last semester. I was a little worried that I would not get the "hands on" approach that comes with going out into the work force to complete the practicum. I believe that the experience I acquired through the online practicum is going to serve just as beneficial as if I went out into a medical setting. I have had to do coding assignments; research projects; auditing; and have had access to several hands on demos that allow me to perform functions such as data retrieval, scheduling an appointment, checking in a patient, coding an office visit through a Computerized Record System (CPRS), creating a discharge summary, and many more demos related to handling health information. I had an instructor that served as my mentor through the practicum, and she ensured that all my work was complete and accurate. I was able to email her and stop by her office with any questions or concerns I might of had. This week I explored a virtual HIM tour video. I have seen Medical Records departments in healthcare facilities before, but this virtual tour was quite interesting to view. The video walked through a hospital's HIM department. It showed the ROI, coding, filing, transcription, cancer registry, and even the TQI board. There was an employee from each area that talked about the work they performed and the requirements for working in those departments. The link to this video is mms://wms.sinclair.edu/23378Windows.wmv. I think this video is an excellent example of how an HIM department is organized. For any individual that may be considering a career in HIM, I suggest watching this video. This video allows an individual pursuing a career in HIM to see how a typical HIM department may function and all the different career opportunities.

I am extremely sorry for any individual who has tried to open this video and is unable to. I do not know exactly why it is not able to be open, but I will try to figure a way to a better link possibly.

I use windows media player on my computer to play the video. I do not consider myself a big "computer whiz" so I don't really have much advise. Maybe try right clicking on the link and opening it up in a new tab. If you are interested in seeing how a typical medical records department in a hospital works it really is a great video tour.

Thank you for the tour of the HIM Dept. I am currently a RN working on my BS in HIM. I had some experience a few years ago being a MDS Coordinator at one of our local short term rehabilitation nursing centers. It was very interesting virtual tour of the HIM Dept and made me more excited to start my new career.

I was able to view the video with Windows Media Player. Try downloading other medial players like Real Player or VLC player if Windows Media Player doesn't work.

So if I need to use Windows Media Player to watch this, could I have a download file, because the link is unresponsive and I don;t see how to view it otherwise.
