Kinn's The Administrative Medical Assistant

Product Description

Drawn from the administrative material covered in the comprehensive book Kinn's The Medical Assistant: An Applied Learning Approach, 10th Edition, this text helps students master the skills needed in the front office of a physician practice. Building on Kinn's, this volume introduces an applied learning approach that focuses on the real-world context required to apply theory and skills from the text to various case studies throughout the chapters. All chapters begin with a scenario appropriate to the content, and contextual exercises are incorporated throughout the chapter. This new edition includes the most current Content & Competencies associated with CAAHEP and ABHES plus two new chapters on The Office Environment & Daily Operations and Privacy & Risk Management, which focus on the latest administrative office trends and issues.

• An Applied Learning Approach introduces a case scenario at the beginning of each chapter, which is revisited at the end of the chapter so that students can easily apply what they have learned to the administrative setting.
• Each chapter begins with Detailed Learning Objectives, National Curriculum Competencies, and Vocabulary with definitions to help set the stage.
• Critical Thinking Applications test content knowledge and critical thinking skills.
• Procedures are presented in a clear step-by-step format and are illustrated where appropriate.
