WHY MEDICAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTING WITH EHR?

Healthcare is changing. With healthcare reform, medical records must move to an electronic format, which has created an incredible need for administrative professionals trained on electronic health record (EHR) software. Medical administrative assistants with EHR skills are the specialized administrative personnel increasingly in demand to keep the modern medical office running smoothly. Specific responsibilities vary from location to location, but may include:

Medical administrative assistants work in a professional environment in a variety of healthcare facilities, and the demand for them—especially those with EHR training—will only increase as electronic health records become more standard. Positions can be found in doctors’ offices, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and many other types of healthcare facilities. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that the demand for medical administrative assistants will grow by 36%, or 189,200 new jobs, before 2022. With opportunities nationwide, these professionals often have a variety of positions to choose from and can earn competitive salaries—on average they earn over $32,000 a year.*
