Free 3 part webinar series on MS Excel for HIM Professionals from The City University of New York School of Professional Studies

Hi all: We’re hosting a free three part webinar series titled MS for HIM Professionals. We’re funded by a professional development grant from the University. If this is useful for you or a colleague, by all means join in. Best, Paul

DESCRIPTION: In today’s fast-paced Health Information Management (HIM) environment, having the ability to manage administrative, clinical and financial data is essential. While most HIM professionals use Microsoft Excel for creating useful lists, charts, and graphs, this powerful software can also be used for more sophisticated data analysis and report writing.

In the first of this three-part webinar series offered by the CUNY School of Professional Studies, participants will focus on improving data quality through:

• Implementing simple data validation techniques to improve data accuracy
• Using lookup tables to reduce input errors and improve spreadsheet efficiency
• Using formulas effectively to accurately trend and monitor clinical information

No extensive knowledge of Microsoft Excel is necessary. Participants who are familiar with the basic layout of a spreadsheet will find these seminars particularly useful.

All registered participants can download the exercises and templates that will be reviewed in these webinars, and they can submit questions which will be addressed both during and after the webinar.

This session provides 1 CEU in the Technology domain for AHIMA members.
