Masonicare uses Libman Education New Hire Training Program with Fundamentals of Coding for Home Health Course
Program designed to quickly get newly hired medical coders up to speed.
- Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) April 05, 2014 - Libman Education's recently-announced New Hire Training Program is being used by Masonicare Home Health and Hospice to develop the skills of new hires with the online course Fundamentals of Coding for Home Health.
The program is designed to quickly get newly hired staff members up to speed on medical coding by allowing purchasers of Libman Education courses to begin training immediately. By bypassing the waiting time of getting staff sufficiently trained, the program helps to maximize a new employee's productivity.
"The program works like this," said Susan Pepple, vice president and COO of Libman Education. "Simply order your online course, and it will be queued up and ready to go when your new hire arrives at work. Heads of agencies are busy and this helps to minimize the effort of teaching new staff members their role in coding, which in turn frees department heads up to focus on their regular duties."
"At the same time," Pepple adds, "by providing ongoing, self-paced training, the program keeps staff from waiting to be trained by department heads detained by other tasks. All things considered, the program is a win-win for all sides."
The Libman Education course used by Masonicare, Fundamentals of Coding for Home Health, is designed for new or inexperienced home health coders, clinicians and clerical staff - as well as those who wish to review the fundamentals. The course provides an overview of how to code, how to utilize ICD-9 Coding Guidelines correctly, and how coding impacts agency reimbursement.
Through the New Hire Training Program, Masonicare had the course ready on a new employee's first day.
Libman Education's New Hire Training Program is used by acute care and specialty hospitals, physician office groups, as well as home health agencies. The program includes online specialty training in the following areas: ICD-10 readiness, credential exam preparation, home health coding, and HIPAA compliance. The program also offers skills assessments in anatomy and physiology, ICD-10-CM, and ICD-10-PCS. Once purchased, the courses and assessments are immediately available via a confirmation email.
Masonicare Home Health and Hospice is located in Wallingford, CT. Its Acute Care Unit features an adult inpatient hospice; skilled nursing care for acute & chronic conditions; wound care; rehabilitation; physical, speech and occupational therapies; and more.
