PSYC101 - Principles of Psychology, Gaining Insight Through Personality Assessment
Thinking Abilities - Employ strategies for reflection on learning and practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement.

I can better understand my strengths and shortcomings by thinking back on the results of my personality testing. This helps me modify how I handle work-related issues, such as handling patient billing or interacting with coworkers. Understanding my inclinations, such as my introverted nature or sensitive to rejection, enables me to create plans to enhance my communication and problem-solving abilities, which will ultimately result in ongoing development on both a personal and professional level in the healthcare industry.

Community and Career - Participate in social, learning, and professional communities for personal and career growth. 

I am motivated to actively engage in professional groups, both inside my company and in larger healthcare networks, by my awareness of my personality features. I develop both professionally and personally when I participate in conversations, exchange experiences, and absorb knowledge from colleagues. It enables me to stay current with industry practices, comprehend various viewpoints, and improve my communication abilities. My ability to work with others and adjust to changes in healthcare technology and policies, for instance, can be enhanced by taking part in staff meetings or healthcare forums. In addition to improving my abilities as a medical biller, my involvement advances both my long-term professional development and the general standard of patient care at my mental health facility.

Math 309 - Statistics
Quantitative and Scientific Reasoning - Follow established methods of inquiry and mathematical reasoning to form conclusions and make decisions.

During my portfolio project, I was tasked with solving multiple statistical equations. To do so, not only did I have to solve the equation using the correct formula and calculator (I had to use a given one; otherwise, the decimals would not be exact and would be marked incorrect), but I also had to show my work step by step to receive the full credit. The equations we had to solve were about an imaginary workplace, and the scenarios showed how we can use statistics to figure out different scenarios a workplace might encounter. As a medical biller, it is my responsibility to be accurate mathematically, as well as meticulous, to ensure proper and accurate billing occurs. View

HTHS302 - Health Services Management II Portfolio Project
Information Literacy and Communication - Utilize appropriate current technology and resources to locate and evaluate information needed to accomplish a goal and then communicate findings in visual, written, and/or oral formats. 

I have learned from this project how crucial it is to use the tools and technologies available today to obtain precise and pertinent information for my work as a medical biller, including community needs, healthcare legislation, and industry trends. I can make sure that the data I need to process claims, validate patient information, and maintain compliance is accurate by learning how to assess various sources, such as recent research or official health department guidelines. Clear communication of these results, whether in written reports or in discussions with coworkers, enhances our billing procedures, guarantees legal compliance, and advances the clinic's mission to deliver high-quality care.

Analyze and apply contemporary knowledge and skill sets to work and problem solve effectively in a managerial/leadership capacity and health services setting.

My ability to analyze and apply current information keeps me abreast of healthcare trends, like value-based care and technology integration, which are critical for managerial problem-solving. For instance, knowing how clinics are moving toward patient outcomes enables me to provide recommendations for ways to increase billing efficiency and accuracy, maintaining the clinic's financial stability and compliance. With this knowledge, I can proactively fix billing difficulties and participate in strategic decision-making, eventually supporting the clinic's mission to deliver high-quality care while efficiently controlling costs. 

In my position, applying abilities like ethical thinking and leadership assistance guarantee that billing procedures respect legal requirements like HIPAA and demonstrate the clinic's dedication to patient safety and high-quality care. When managing sensitive patient information or addressing billing problems, I rely on my grasp of long-term care management and financial planning to ensure accuracy and compliance. This strategy immediately affects the overall performance and standing of the medical institution by reducing risks, upholding trust, and encouraging a productive workplace where moral behavior is valued.

 

Evaluate and apply leadership skills, including recognizing and using soft skills in the healthcare environment.

In the healthcare industry, teamwork and patient interactions are improved by identifying and utilizing soft skills like empathy and communication. For instance, in my capacity as a biller, I must clearly and patiently address billing difficulties with patients and employees. Soft skills also enable me to collaborate with management and clinical personnel, creating a positive atmosphere that promotes trust and open communication, two things that are essential for efficient operations and excellent patient care. Gaining these abilities will guarantee that I can manage difficult circumstances coolly and support a supportive work environment.

Use legal and ethical principles to analyze and apply management practices of healthcare organizations and delivery of patient care.

Since patient confidentiality and correct billing procedures are essential for compliance and credibility, I always place a high priority on them when I apply legal and ethical concepts to my work. I make sure that all processes adhere to laws like HIPAA and prevent fraud or misrepresentation when handling insurance claims or processing sensitive data. Knowing these guidelines enables me to spot any moral conundrums and handle them effectively, upholding the organization's integrity and providing patients with just, considerate care while abiding by the law.

Research information management systems to evaluate and select technologies appropriate to a particular healthcare setting.

I can suggest the best technological tools for our clinic, such electronic health records (EHR) and billing software, by investigating and assessing information management systems. For instance, selecting secure and user-friendly technologies improves workflow, lowers errors, and safeguards patient information. I can swiftly adjust and make sure the clinic uses dependable, effective technology by keeping up with new developments, which enhances overall operational efficiency and promotes high-quality patient care. With this knowledge, I can help the healthcare team as a whole make well-informed judgments.
