Chapter 1, Problem 1.18.1C

Ellen Armstrong, CMAS (AMT), administrative medical assistant at Inner City Health Care, has been chiefly responsible for managing this clinic’s medical records. However, because Ellen is only a part-time employee, the clinic manager feels she needs to delegate some of the responsibility of maintaining all clinic files to Liz Corbin, CMA (AAMA), a medical assistant who also works part-time. Ellen knows the system well and had a hand in designing an effective numeric filing method that both ensures patient confidentiality and satisfies the needs of Inner City and its large volume of patients.

What is a good starting point for Liz Corbin's education in medical records management?
