Medical Filing and Applications
WVEIS 0726
Within this course, the student will develop knowledge and skills on the filing and retrieval of medical records. Areas of
study include numeric filing, alphabetic filing, cross-referencing, color coding, records control and computer-assisting
filing. Students will be introduced to healthcare documentation, including standards related to the record and medical
transcription, and the medicolegal concepts and ethics in the medical transcription profession. In addition, students will
focus on the development of professional work behaviors and analyze the dynamics of the work environment, while
exploring professional development and career opportunities. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and
participate in hands-on activities to develop an understanding of course concepts. Teachers will provide each student
with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to the study of medical information management. The West
Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21 st Century Content Standards and 21st
Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that
integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives. Students are encouraged to become
active members of Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), the Career and Technical Student Organization
(CTSO) for health science education students.
