NetLearning, a US-based provider of online courses and e-learning software for healthcare workers and hospital administrators, has announced a new agreement with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) to provide healthcare information-minded clinicians and staffs with access to 43 new e-learning courses. Authored and developed by AHIMA experts, these courses will be available through the NetLearning learning management system (LMS).
Through this new agreement, NetLearning will offer AHIMA training and continuing education courses that cover topics such as ICD-10, clinical documentation improvement and electronic health records. Among the 43 new courses, NetLearning will distribute 23 courses on ICD-10, a medical coding classification system recently mandated for use in the US, and 11 courses on electronic health records. Both represent major shifts in how healthcare will be managed moving forward in the US. Over the next several years, all hospitals will be required to transition to the ICD-10 classification system, creating a need for training courses such as these from AHIMA and NetLearning.
In addition to the training and continuing education courses, NetLearning will also offer AHIMA exam preparation materials including the Certified Health Data Analyst (CHDA) Exam Prep Series, Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) Exam Prep Series and the Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT) Exam Prep Series. It is expected that these web-based courses will help to prepare professionals for their certification exams using self-paced lessons, to thoroughly review and reinforce knowledge of exam content.
The NetLearning LMS is a flexible system to manage the education, licensure, competency assessment and professional development of employees in the healthcare industry. The product was designed and refined by healthcare professionals in the field and, unlike many other systems, offers unique, healthcare-specific capabilities – including robust license and certification management, tools to track license and certification expirations and renewals, and reports designed to produce data required for the Joint Commission surveys, Magnet Recognition Program applications and state Boards of Nursing, among other features.
