Community Collaboration Creates Clerical Careers
January 10, 2012 | Philadelphia, PA
PMHC has partnered with Temple University’s Health Information Professions (HIP) program to help provide career opportunities in the administration of Electronic Health Records (EHR) to qualified low-income area residents.
Funded by a $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families, HIP offers free EHR training, certification and job internships.
“Our ahead-of-the-curve deployment of EHR via Credible™,” said Dan Miringoff, PMHC’s Director of Quality Assurance, “as well as our solid reputation in BHRS, outpatient services and in- and after-school services made us an obvious go-to choice for this unique vocation initiative. We were exactly what the University was looking for… a valued partner with long-term ties to the community.”
Additionally, Dan’s recent appointment to HIP’s Board of Advisors will allow him to further develop and enhance the program’s curriculum, especially as it relates to the clerical side of EHR transition, support and maintenance.
“The advent of the federal mandate for EHR compliance has elevated the need for trained clerical professionals,” said Kerey Ruggiero, CEO of PMHC. “Our partnership with Temple University’s HIP initiative empowers low-income residents in underserved areas with the opportunity to enter the rapidly growing field of electronic medical record administration.”
The HIP program is already paying dividends, as PMHC recently hired one of its HIP interns as a full-time employee in our billing department and just added another intern this past week.
