Very informative and straightforward. I'm really enjoying this course! I'm at the halfway mark and it's been a lot of fun. I've taken A+P before, so this is a refresher course for me, but apparently, it's one I needed to take.

This health care system is technologically advanced and innovative, but also expensive and unequal. it strives to balance quality, access and cost, yet continues to face challenges in affordability and universal coverage

The course is good, but if it can be updated, it would be great. There are many errors, and several videos have lag or glitches. Also, one of the videos is about Hemostasis, and the instructor titled it as Homeostasis, which are 2 very different things.

During my EHR Specialist course on Udemy, I gained a comprehensive understanding of Electronic Health Records and their role in modern healthcare systems. The course covered essential topics such as patient data entry, HIPAA compliance, anatomy, and navigating EHR software interfaces. I practiced using real-life scenarios to input and retrieve clinical information accurately and efficiently. Additionally, I learned how to manage chart audits, billing codes, and schedule patient appointments within EHR platforms. This training improved my confidence in handling digital health records and prepared me for real-world clinical settings.

I was expecting more content on EHRs such as technical knowledge, applications, exercises or examples of data entry. I was not thinking about anatomy and physiology for this course, as I studied it before on other courses specifically for physiology, anatomy and medical terminology. I am still waiting to finish this content to get to what I signed up for, the EHR chapter.
By Lisa Matamoros on 1/18/2024
The course content itself was great and very informative. However, the simulations for most of the EHR assignments didn't work. This practice would have been very beneficial to have. Maybe it's because the course hasn't been updated since 2019? Nonetheless, Valerie Boyd is a great instructor, and I'm glad I came across this course.

The narrator of this course is basically reading a textbook out loud. Key words are mispronounced. Slides are not available for download to ease note-taking. The narration is off or skips at times, and there is a lot of extraneous material regarding anatomy and physiology (over 2.5 hours) and not enough about actual EHRs.

I learned a lot and it added more information which I can use at my chosen job. Thank you very much.

By Crystal Walker on 10/16/2020
