Healthinformationtechnologycareers.com and similar websites highlight the vast amount of career opportunities that is available for anyone who is interested in continuing a career in the health information industry. They also showcase the different levels of education, skill sets and experience one would need in order to succeed as a health information technician. The author wanted to investigate what is the best path to take in becoming a registered health information technician. In her research, she found that it would be best that she continue her education – first in a bachelor’s program in healthcare administration for approximately two years; second – in a master’s program in health information technology for four years - this can either be done online or on campus. It was also discovered that while she is in school, she could either volunteer to work at a hospital or find part time employment at a small doctor’s office that could give the experience needed for a technician.

...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research. Read through these directions and the requirements for this assignment BEFORE making your choice. Materials needed for this project - ---note cards (preferably 3x5 lined) ---folder with pockets to keep all research materials in ---access to internet and reference books A.

...Factors to consider when choosing an appliance repair technician There are several things that make lives easier. Gadgets are some of these things. They help in completing work within a short period of time and also ensure that the work is done effectively. Sometimes these gadgets or electronics many fail to work as expected. They might fail to work due to different factors. One of the factors is poor maintenance. They need to be regularly checked by an expert for any faults. Using them when they are not functioning accordingly can lead to greater problems to the user and also to the machine. Some machines which have loose connections can lead to electrocutions. This is very dangerous as it can lead to death. Apart from that, faulty machines consume a lot of energy and the output is very low. This brings the power bills up and also if the apparatus are not fixed on time they can break down completely. Only the qualified technicians are allowed to handle the problems. There is a lot that one has to be exposed about the machines before one can fully be able to fix any problem. It is not easy to get one who is qualified. Most of them who are qualified have tight schedules and thus becomes impossible to schedule an appointment with them. Others are very expensive and it becomes difficult to hire them. However, there are other ways that one can use to get to the right and affordable persons. One of the ways is through research. Research on the papers or the internet can leave...

...Date: Feb. 20, 2014 To: Ken Weston From: Islam Nassar Subject: Computer technician's issues. I would like to inform you that I am facing a major issue in our company. In the past month, three computer technicians suffered from similar complaints such as, sharp pains in the wrist, increasing numbness, and decreased range of motion. I have never had these complaints in this short time and the severity of symptoms seems to be increasing. I consulted experts from the sport and orthopedic medicine clinic about this major issue. They described these symptoms as repetitive strain injuries that might require surgeries if the cause of these symptoms is not corrected. Also, the physical therapist believes that exercise and wrist splints may help relieve symptoms and she recommended the consultation of an ergonomic analyst who recommended that, after his visit and observation of the company's work environment and equipment, the old keyboards should be replaced with ergonomic ones and every mouse should be replaced with a trackball. I investigated this situation from perspective of cost-benefit analysis. the ergonomic keyboards are designed to split the traditional rows of keys in half and to place the rows of keys at different angles, allowing the wrists to stay straight and relieving pressure on the forearm. Also trackballs do not require the repetitive clicking motion of the forefinger. Although following the recommendations of experts are costly, I think that they will avoid...

...inconvenienced every day due to the late and missed appointments. In the scheduling process of the appointments the company tries to make each customer happy by giving them the date they are requesting. With this being the case the days ends up getting overbooked. The company allows an overbooking percentage of up to 103-105% for the load. While the company is giving the customer the date they want, essentially they are pushing other customers out of the load. There are managers assigned to each state and those states are broken down into different regions i.e. north, south, east, west. It is the duty of the load manager to make sure that each job gets assigned to a technician so that every customer is serviced in a timely manner. The company expects that there will be unforeseen events that may cause the technicians to run behind i.e. traffic, car issues, and wrong addresses on the account. The company provides a 4 hour appointment window, for example, 8am-12pm. The company does notify the...

...Catina Hunter 7/14/2014 The Worth of a Pharmacy Technician The Essentials of College Writing The work of a pharmacy technician can be both complex and stressful. We are not paid enough. For me it’s complex because I have to where many hats. It’s also stressful because not only do we have to deal with sometimes irate pharmacist but also facility employees. I have to even sometimes correct the pharmacist we are trained to assist. Our pay does not reflect the work or effort we put into our jobs. Even though we do more work physically and mentally than the pharmacist our pay does not reflect it. My work is far more important than what we are paid for. I on a daily basis assist customers, enter prescripstions, check inventory of controls, make sure patients get their meds in a timely fashion and deal with sometimes egotistical pharmacist who think we are nothing. I work for a Long Term Care pharmacy. Where our patients are most important. Dealing with families of patients who are end of life is also stressful. Will the comfort meds get there soon enough. Which is also stressful. I have to deal with nurses that think we are magician and can make things happen in a blink of an eye. Some technicians make less than $10 an hour. Which I think is unfair. I have argued this point for the other technicians for years. Some are even certified. Why be certified if a technician is barely making more than minimum wage? I work in the control department. I have been accused of not doing my...

...Student Or A Computer Technician? Being a computer technician is fun, but it also have its own side effects. A computer technician is dealing with tons of problem at the same time in his head, which can make him go crazy, but it could also make him rich. A student also undergoes a series of tension throughout his academic career, which can also make him crazy, but wouldn't give him a dime. Thus, students and computer technicians have some similarities and differences between them. In order to avoid the tension, they both needs to be time managing, hardworking and also generate a sense of responsibility within them. Time management is a required skill for both students and computer technicians. As of students, they need to sign up for classes on time, submit assignments on the due date, and also attend the classes on time. A student also needs to have a balance between his job and school agenda. In order to be a computer technician, one needs to be time managing because they go to different locations on the same day, and they don't want to arrive late for their work. If by chance, the technician gets late in one place, then the rest of his assignments will be late too. A computer technician shouldn't be late because there could be a lot of lives who are depending on his job for living, whereas a student mustn't be late because it might ruin his own life by not giving importance to the skill of time management. Both students and computer technician should be hard working...

...PSY 220 Check Point: Goal Selection 10/11/2012 As read in chapter 7, the matching hypothesis suggests a simple answer to the question of which goals do not or do add enhancement to a person’s well-being. Goals that fit a person’s values, needs and sense of self are likely to be the ones that increase a person’s well-being. Goals that are mismatched to with the person are known to lead to no change, or also known to even diminish well-being. (Steve R. Baumgardner, 2009) I have made many goals in my life starting throughout high school and did manage to follow through with a few that benefitted my well-being and also did not. A poorly-matched goal that I once made was to immediately push myself to go out and get a part-time job in or near my area. The reason was because my family would say rude comments about me not having a job and not being able to support myself. I desperately applied to tons of places and landed a job as a sales associate. On the third day working there I knew that I had made a mistake but I only took the job to prove to others that I am not “lazy” and also because it was the only job that offered me an interview. The negatives were that this job was forty-five minutes away from my home. I started with no money and no gas so I was having to ask my parents for money to start. I was only working three and a half hours a day making eight dollars an hour. Driving to and from work would cost me fifteen to twenty dollars a day of gas which meant that I was spending...

Upon assembly we realized that the remote did not have any batteries. Though I was concern that I was not able to check if the remote was active the technicians were able to able to assure me that all it needed was the batteries and everything would be O.K. Two days later I purchased a set of AA batteries and tested the remote, to my dismay the remote did not work. Upon close examination I realized that the remote was branded Harpe and not Sharpe. I visited the store a week later to return to return the remote. The CRS asked me why I didn't the case earlier, I explained to her I was unable to visit any sooner but I called several times and got a busy tone each time. Without any further question she told me to have a seat. After waiting for approximately two hours she returned and told me that it will take at least five working days for them to complete the investigation as to how I received the incorrect remote. She advised me that someone will call to update me on the progress. It has been seven days and I still have not received a call. Dissatisfied Pat. Respond to customer addressing the following 1.
