HUC/CMAA

• Health unit coordinators prepare medical records
  for new patients, input healthcare data, maintain
  patient charts and perform other non-clinical
  tasks related to patient admission and discharge.
  Graduates can also work as receptionists in a
  hospital or other healthcare setting.
• Graduates can find careers as medical
  secretaries, unit clerks, medical receptionists
  and health unit coordinators. These positions can
  be found in hospitals, medical-surgical units,
  dental offices, nursing homes, doctors offices,
  veterinary clinics and laboratories.
• The Certified Medical Administrative Assistant
  (CMAA) is a nationally recognized certification
  for Medical Administrative Assistants. It
  demonstrates your ability to perform routine
  administrative tasks in a physicians office or
  clinic to keep it running efficiently. Medical
  Administrative Assistants are also known as
  Medical Office Secretaries and Medical Office
  Assistants

17
HUC/CMAA Salary

• A Health Unit Coordinator earns an average wage
  of 13.72 per hour. Most people move on to other
  jobs if they have more than 20 years' experience
  in this field.
• If a medical administrative assistant has less
  than a year of experience they get paid less. An
  hourly pay rate between 8.00 and 12.00 is
  typical. This works out to between 18 and 20
  thousand dollars a year. This is based on working
  40 hours per week. A medical administrative
  assistant with 15 or more years of experience
  makes more money. An experienced medical
  administrative assistant can make around
  17.00-19.00 an hour. That comes out to almost
  40,000 a year. The time in the job matters.

18
HUC/CMAA Exam

• The CMAA final exam consists of 110 multiple
  choice questions. Testing candidates are allowed
  one hour and fifty minutes to take the exam. The
  basic breakdown of the exam is 20 items covering
  risk management, 30 items covering financial
  procedures, and 50 items covering office
  procedures.
• The questions in the exam are weighted, meaning
  some questions are worth more points than others.
  You must score 390 or better to pass the exam
• The Health Unit Coordinator Certification
  Examination measures knowledge and skills in
  areas of job performance that the NAHUC
  Certification Board regards as essential. There
  are 120 questions. The first 20 questions are
  pre-test questions that are not scored. There are
  100 scored, comprehensive questions based on
  job-related objectives to answer in the two and
  one-half hour period.
• All tests are reported as scaled scores to
  insure that all candidates have the same
  advantage regardless of which test they take. The
  questions are multiple choice and are adjusted
  for minor differences in difficulty

CNA

• Certified Nursing Assistant
• A certified nursing assistant, or CNA, helps
  patients or clients with healthcare needs under
  the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a
  Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Also known as a
  Nursing Assistant (NA) a Patient Care Assistant
  (PCA) or a State Tested Nurse Aid (STNA), the
  individual who carries this title needs strong
  work ethic and ability, but issues of liability
  and legality prevent CNAs from performing certain
  procedures.

21
What does a CNA do?

• Nursing assistants can work in a wide variety of
  settings nursing homes, hospitals, adult day
  care centers, personal homes and assisted living
  facilities all require nursing assistants to act
  as a helpful liaison between the RN or LPN and
  the patient. In many cases, the nursing assistant
  serves as the RNs or LPNs eyes and ears, and
  relays information between many patients and one
  or two RNs.
• The nursing assistant fulfills basic quality of
  life needs for patients of any age, ethnicity or
  gender in residential nursing care facilities or
  outpatient clinics. Since nursing assistants have
  daily contact with patients, they are gatherers
  of vital information about the patients
  conditions, which they must then transmit to
  their supervisors. A CNAs workload can become
  intense and fast-paced, but the human contact and
  ability to help those in medical need is a strong
  motivating factor. A desire to help people and
  compassion for patients can help a nurses
  assistant get through difficult days.

22
CNAs and the Nursing Industry

• Because so many nurses aides want to move up
  into more involved medical careers, there is a
  high rate of turnover for CNA positions. This
  means it is fairly easy to find a job as a CNA,
  but many who start out in this career do not stay
  in it for life. The demand for CNAs is high,
  especially among those institutions that provide
  continuing care and assisted living for the
  elderly. Many health care facilities recognize
  the important role that a qualified and
  compassionate CNA can play in their quality of
  care offered. Additionally, a CNA can find
  support through organizations such as the
  National Association of Health Care Assistants.

23
Daily Responsibilities of CNAs

• Administer medications or treatments, such as
  catheterizations, suppositories, irrigations,
  enemas, massages, or douches, as directed by a
  physician or nurse.
• Clean and sanitize patient rooms, bathrooms,
  examination rooms, or other patient areas.
• Document or otherwise report observations of
  patient behavior, complaints, or physical
  symptoms to nurses.
• Apply clean dressings, slings, stockings, or
  support bandages, under direction of nurse or
  physician.
• Clearly, the duties of a CNA are not glamorous,
  but the position is highly suited for people who
  arei interested in helping to cure illness,
  mitigate misery, and generally add to the
  wellbeing of other people at the time they need
  it most.

24
CNA Pay Benefits

• CNAs typically earn an hourly wage rather than an
  annual salary, so your pay will fluctuate
  depending on whether you take a few hours here
  and there, steadily work full time, or constantly
  pull 60 hour weeks. According to The BLS, the
  median hourly wage for CNAs was 11.46 in May
  2008. Median wages for similar or related careers
  were as follows
• Medical Assistants 28,300 (annual)
• Registered Nurses 62,450 (annual)
• Home Health Aides 9.22 (hourly)
• Location can be a major influencing factor in how
  much you earn in any of the above jobs, and how
  many jobs are available in the first place. The
  chart below shows data from The BLS about how
  many medical assistant jobs are available in the
  five states with highest employment in that
  field.

25
CNA Test

• You must pass both the clinical skills and
  written exams within 2 years of your first test
  date. If you do not pass both exams within 2
  years, you will have to take both exams again to
  be certified. Results more than 2 years old are
  not valid. In addition, if you fail either the
  clinical skills or written exam 3 times in that
  2- year period, you will be required to attend a
  state approved training program before testing on
  both parts of the exam again.
• The Florida Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
  Exam consists of two separate tests The Clinical
  Skills Test and the Written (Knowledge) Test. You
  are not required to pass one test before taking
  the other.

26
CNA Test Results

• 2012-2013- 89 Pass rate (76 passed)
• 2011-2012- 77 passed 11 failed
• 2010- 2011- 63 passed 7 failed

27
EKG Tech

• As a Certified EKG Technician, youll operate
  machines that record the electrical activity of a
  patients heart. EKG rhythms provide important
  data for the diagnosis of heart conditions. As a
  CET, you may perform some or all of the following
  tasks
• Set up and administer EKGs, stress tests
• Prepare patients for Holter, or ambulatory
  monitoring
• Edit and deliver final test results to physicians
  for analysis
• Schedule appointments
• Transcribe physicians' interpretations
• Benefits to obtaining an EKG Technician
  Certification may include more job
  opportunities, an increased pay scale, job
  security, and increased subject matter expertise.

28
EKG Tech Education

• EKG techs need at least a high school diploma,
  according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
  However, employers like to see that students have
  gone above and beyond the minimum requirements,
  says Tammy Renner, Rasmussen Colleges national
  medical laboratory technician program director.
  So if you want to stand out, consider pursuing
  further education.
• Most colleges with an EKG tech program offer a
  two-year associates degree or a certificate,
  which can be completed in as few as nine months.
  Certificates offer field-specific courses and
  less general education classes, which means
  youll spend more time on the subject in which
  youre actually interested.
• No matter whether you earn an associates degree
  or certificate, earning an EKG tech credential is
  usually the next step. While an EKG Technician
  Certification from the National Healthcareer
  Association isnt required to get a job, its
  something employers look for, Renner says. After
  you pass the exam youll be a Certified EKG
  Technician.

29
EKG technician salary

• The amount of an EKG technician salary depends on
  many different factors. Some factors that affect
  how much money they make include where they work,
  level of experience on the job, geographic
  location and sex of the employee. The salary also
  varies with level of training or education.
• In general, the median national salary of an EKG
  technician is reported to be around 34,000. The
  lowest 10th percentile earns about 26,000 and
  the highest 10th percentile about 43,000 per
  year. For the middle 50 of the workforce, they
  earn between 30,000 and 39,000 per year.
