  16. HUC/CMAA • Health unit coordinators prepare medical records for new patients, input healthcare data, maintain patient charts and perform other non-clinical tasks related to patient admission and discharge. Graduates can also work as receptionists in a hospital or other healthcare setting. • Graduates can find careers as medical secretaries, unit clerks, medical receptionists and health unit coordinators. These positions can be found in hospitals, medical-surgical units, dental offices, nursing homes, doctor’s offices, veterinary clinics and laboratories. • The Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) is a nationally recognized certification for Medical Administrative Assistants. It demonstrates your ability to perform routine administrative tasks in a physicians’ office or clinic to keep it running efficiently. Medical Administrative Assistants are also known as Medical Office Secretaries and Medical Office Assistants

  17. HUC/CMAA Salary • A Health Unit Coordinator earns an average wage of $13.72 per hour. Most people move on to other jobs if they have more than 20 years' experience in this field. • If a medical administrative assistant has less than a year of experience they get paid less. An hourly pay rate between $8.00 and $12.00 is typical. This works out to between 18 and 20 thousand dollars a year. This is based on working 40 hours per week. A medical administrative assistant with 15 or more years of experience makes more money. An experienced medical administrative assistant can make around $17.00-$19.00 an hour. That comes out to almost $40,000 a year. The time in the job matters.

  18. HUC/CMAA Exam • The CMAA final exam consists of 110 multiple choice questions. Testing candidates are allowed one hour and fifty minutes to take the exam. The basic breakdown of the exam is 20 items covering risk management, 30 items covering financial procedures, and 50 items covering office procedures. • The questions in the exam are weighted, meaning some questions are worth more points than others. You must score 390 or better to pass the exam • The Health Unit Coordinator Certification Examination measures knowledge and skills in areas of job performance that the NAHUC Certification Board regards as essential. There are 120 questions. The first 20 questions are pre‐test questions that are not scored. There are 100 scored, comprehensive questions based on job‐related objectives to answer in the two and one‐half hour period. • All tests are reported as “scaled scores” to insure that all candidates have the same advantage regardless of which test they take. The questions are multiple choice and are adjusted for minor differences in difficulty

  19. CMAA Test results • 7 passed 13 failed

  20. CNA • Certified Nursing Assistant • A certified nursing assistant, or CNA, helps patients or clients with healthcare needs under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Also known as a Nursing Assistant (NA) a Patient Care Assistant (PCA) or a State Tested Nurse Aid (STNA), the individual who carries this title needs strong work ethic and ability, but issues of liability and legality prevent CNAs from performing certain procedures.

  21. What does a CNA do? • Nursing assistants can work in a wide variety of settings; nursing homes, hospitals, adult day care centers, personal homes and assisted living facilities all require nursing assistants to act as a helpful liaison between the RN or LPN and the patient. In many cases, the nursing assistant serves as the RN’s or LPN’s eyes and ears, and relays information between many patients and one or two RNs. • The nursing assistant fulfills basic quality of life needs for patients of any age, ethnicity or gender in residential nursing care facilities or outpatient clinics. Since nursing assistants have daily contact with patients, they are gatherers of vital information about the patients’ conditions, which they must then transmit to their supervisors. A CNA’s workload can become intense and fast-paced, but the human contact and ability to help those in medical need is a strong motivating factor. A desire to help people and compassion for patients can help a nurse’s assistant get through difficult days.

  22. CNA’s and the Nursing Industry • Because so many nurse’s aides want to move up into more involved medical careers, there is a high rate of turnover for CNA positions. This means it is fairly easy to find a job as a CNA, but many who start out in this career do not stay in it for life. The demand for CNAs is high, especially among those institutions that provide continuing care and assisted living for the elderly. Many health care facilities recognize the important role that a qualified and compassionate CNA can play in their quality of care offered. Additionally, a CNA can find support through organizations such as the National Association of Health Care Assistants.

  23. Daily Responsibilities of CNA’s • Administer medications or treatments, such as catheterizations, suppositories, irrigations, enemas, massages, or douches, as directed by a physician or nurse.” • “Clean and sanitize patient rooms, bathrooms, examination rooms, or other patient areas.” • “Document or otherwise report observations of patient behavior, complaints, or physical symptoms to nurses.” • “Apply clean dressings, slings, stockings, or support bandages, under direction of nurse or physician.” • Clearly, the duties of a CNA are not glamorous, but the position is highly suited for people who arei interested in helping to cure illness, mitigate misery, and generally add to the wellbeing of other people at the time they need it most.

  24. CNA Pay & Benefits • CNAs typically earn an hourly wage rather than an annual salary, so your pay will fluctuate depending on whether you take a few hours here and there, steadily work full time, or constantly pull 60 hour weeks. According to The BLS, the median hourly wage for CNAs was $11.46 in May 2008. Median wages for similar or related careers were as follows: • Medical Assistants: $28,300 (annual) • Registered Nurses: $62,450 (annual) • Home Health Aides: $9.22 (hourly) • Location can be a major influencing factor in how much you earn in any of the above jobs, and how many jobs are available in the first place. The chart below shows data from The BLS about how many medical assistant jobs are available in the five states with highest employment in that field.

  25. CNA Test • You must pass both the clinical skills and written exams within 2 years of your first test date. If you do not pass both exams within 2 years, you will have to take both exams again to be certified. Results more than 2 years old are not valid. In addition, if you fail either the clinical skills or written exam 3 times in that 2- year period, you will be required to attend a state approved training program before testing on both parts of the exam again. • The Florida Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Exam consists of two separate tests: The Clinical Skills Test and the Written (Knowledge) Test. You are not required to pass one test before taking the other.

  26. CNA Test Results • 2012-2013- 89% Pass rate (76 passed) • 2011-2012- 77 passed 11 failed • 2010- 2011- 63 passed 7 failed

  27. EKG Tech • As a Certified EKG Technician, you’ll operate machines that record the electrical activity of a patient’s heart. EKG rhythms provide important data for the diagnosis of heart conditions. As a CET, you may perform some or all of the following tasks: • Set up and administer EKGs, stress tests • Prepare patients for Holter, or ambulatory monitoring • Edit and deliver final test results to physicians for analysis • Schedule appointments • Transcribe physicians' interpretations • Benefits to obtaining an EKG Technician Certification may include: more job opportunities, an increased pay scale, job security, and increased subject matter expertise.

  28. EKG Tech Education • EKG techs need at least a high school diploma, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, employers like to see that students have gone “above and beyond” the minimum requirements, says Tammy Renner, Rasmussen College’s national medical laboratory technician program director. So if you want to stand out, consider pursuing further education. • Most colleges with an EKG tech program offer a two-year associate’s degree or a certificate, which can be completed in as few as nine months. Certificates offer field-specific courses and less general education classes, which means you’ll spend more time on the subject in which you’re actually interested. • No matter whether you earn an associate’s degree or certificate, earning an EKG tech credential is usually the next step. While an EKG Technician Certification from the National Healthcareer Association isn’t required to get a job, it’s something employers look for, Renner says. After you pass the exam you’ll be a Certified EKG Technician.

  29. EKG technician salary • The amount of an EKG technician salary depends on many different factors. Some factors that affect how much money they make include where they work, level of experience on the job, geographic location and sex of the employee. The salary also varies with level of training or education. • In general, the median national salary of an EKG technician is reported to be around $34,000. The lowest 10th percentile earns about $26,000 and the highest 10th percentile about $43,000 per year. For the middle 50% of the workforce, they earn between $30,000 and $39,000 per year.

  30. CET Test • To take the test, you need to… • have a high school diploma or GED • have met the experience/training requirements per the certification organization • Examination Matrix • The examination matrix is provided to illustrate the general distribution of questions and the relative weight or emphasis given to a skill or content area on the examination. • CONTENT CATEGORY APPROXIMATE %age OF EXAMINATION • Basic Cardiovascular Anatomy & Physiology 14% • ECG Techniques & Recognition 32% • Basic Cardiovascular Electrophysiology 16% • Stress Test Techniques, Indications, and Contraindications 11% • Ambulatory Monitoring (i.e. holter) 20% • Cardiac Medications 7% • TOTAL 100%
