PATHWAY CONNECTION

Brookdale Community College (BCC) created 3 non-credit workforce training tracks for entry into the Healthcare Information Management (HIM) and Health Informatics (HI) pathways. Those tracks are:

1. Medical Coding and Billing based on curriculum from AAPC (the world’s largest training and credentialing organization for the business of healthcare, with members worldwide working in medical coding, billing, auditing, compliance, clinical documentation improvement, revenue cycle management, and practice management).

2. Healthcare Office Administration based curriculum that includes Open Educational Resources (OER) modules covering customer service, resume writing, effective communication, management, interview skills, and other basic administrative skills. Additionally, BCC is mapping its Human Resources Management credit course to create a non-credit course.
