Certification benefits the health care professional through advanced training and skills that help provide a competitive advantage and more promotional opportunities. The AAHAM offers different levels of certification for different career stages. For example, the Compliance (CCT) certification is a basic test for patient account processing knowledge. The next level is CRCS certification, which is designed for staff that deal with revenue cycles for either hospitals or clinics. The Professional (CRCP) certification is geared towards management while the Executive (CRCE) certification is designed for all senior

The College of American Pathologists or CAP is the accrediting organization for laboratory and testing personnel. CAP’s “accreditation process is so thorough, the Joint Commission [and CMS] accepts …their standards” in place of conducting their own survey of the hospital’s laboratory and personnel (Gartee, 2011, p. 47). This is because of the guidelines they follow to maintain their integrity and to remain the industry standard. In recent years, the “CAP [has] developed new check list” for continued improvements. Additionally, they are continuing to vet the requirements for the new next-generation sequencing or NGC-based test that is speeding laboratory procedures. So much so that the recent adoption of the new technology for clinical testing” was done prior to the new standards being approved (Aziz, et.al. 2015, p. 481).

Alongside the standards of proficiency, a registered biomedical scientist is required to maintain the HCPC standards of conduct, performance and ethics, and the standards for continuing professional development. Both the standards of proficiency and the standards of conduct, performance and ethics, magnify the importance of the professional relationships with the service users and to always promote their best interests at all times. The HCPC code of conduct, performance and ethics represents the skills, knowledge, and state of health required to be able to practice a profession safely and effectively. These are constructed to be adaptable to the majority of professions that the HCPC regulates, including those registrants of the title of biomedical

Congress held hearings at which people who had been harmed by laboratory errors testified. These hearings revealed serious deficits in the quality of work from physician office laboratories and in Pap smear testing results (R. D. Feld, M. Schwabbauer, and J. D. Olson, 2001, The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act [CLIA] and the physician's office laboratory; Virtual Hospital, University of Iowa College of Medi-cine [www.vh.org/adult/provider/pathology/CLIA/CLIAHP.html]). In 1988, Congress once again responded to public concerns about the quality of laboratory testing by passing CLIA '88. CLIA '88 expanded the laboratory standards set by CLIA '67 and extended them to include any facility performing a clinical test. Currently, under CLIA '88,

Based on the subjective interview, Mr. Mustard denies any previous history of brain injuries, which is also confirmed by the NP during physical examination. The NP considers that Mr. Mustard has suffered from traumatic brain injury likely

The ONC does not perform the assessment or issue any certifications itself, but collaborates with other organizations that perform these functions. The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program [NVLAP] has been designated by the ONC to oversee the Healthcare Information Technology Testing Laboratory Accreditation Program. After accreditation from the NVLAP and authorization from the ONC has been received, a laboratory can become an ONC-Authorized Testing Laboratory [ONC-ATL]. Then, the ONC-ATL can begin testing health IT modules for functionality and conformity. The ONC also selects ONC-Approved Accreditors [ONC-AAs] to accredit and oversee certification bodies. Once applications for accreditation have been approved by the ONC, ONC-Authorized Certification Bodies [ONC-ACBs] are tasked with certifying electronic health technology in accordance with the Program guidelines and

The main aim of the HCPC is achieved by setting and maintaining general standards of conduct, ethics and performance to ensure that the registrants within the council practice safely, legitimately and effectively; registrants are required to retain their registration by maintaining professional skills, training and behaviour.

As a Nurse Practitioner, working in an underserved community, most of the patients I see live in community housing also known as the projects. Some are heavy drug users, while others are at high risks for contracting different STDS due to having unprotected sex with many partners. Many of the patients lack health education and are not aware of their health issues. One common issue that is brought up during their appointments is the lack of communication by the health provider, many often complain that the doctor did not thoroughly explain their illness to them in way that they can comprehend. Other patients have also expressed their dislike for some practitioners because the care seems rushed and they sometime disregard their concerns. In order
