Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisite(s): OST 1611C
AA Elective: No
This course provides a continuation of Introduction to Healthcare Documentation (OST 1611C). Building on these skills, students are introduced to surgical dictation with an emphasis on anatomical terms and descriptions, and the unique structure and formatting of operative reports. Students transcribe increasingly difficult dictation creating common medical reports including operative reports, patient histories, physicals, consultations, discharge summaries, and diagnostic studies such as electrocardiograms, cardiac stress tests, and electroencephalograms. The style, grammar, punctuation, and editing guidelines of The Book of Style for Medical Transcription, 3rd Edition, continue to be reinforced. Industry technology is explored, including word expanders and speech recognition tools.
