Description:

Students develop the knowledge and skills to effectively manage the day-to-day operations within the health services office. Simulation projects are based on office situations utilizing a computerized medical system (CMS) to manage electronic medical records, patient registration, scheduling appointments, and facilitate communication to support the flow of patient care. An overview of Canada's health care system as it operates in Ontario and Canada's Health Act (CHA) legislation, including Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) and Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) will be examined. The importance of professional ethics, privacy, security and confidentiality are highlighted throughout the course.
