Based on the current CHDS exam blue print (updated in 2010), this course will address only the expanded healthcare documentation objectives—ie, content and knowledge domains not covered on any prior CMT exam: advanced editing, regulatory compliance and technical standards, applied clinical medicine, speech recognition, and health information technology.
The CHDS Bridge Course covers objectives in advanced clinical medicine, including clinical practice, surgical practice, and diagnostic scenarios. It also addresses objectives in health information technology, including terminology and fundamentals related to the electronic health record (EHR), clinical terminologies and standards, and speech recognition technology and practice.
This is an 8-week course that requires reading and review of supplementary materials for each objective and offers practice questions as well as section quizzes and a final examination. Each section quiz must be successfully completed before advancing to new content, and no section can be skipped or bypassed. The final exam may only be attempted once.
Purpose and scope: The CHDS Study Course is a 12-week level 2 preparatory course consisting of weekly reading assignments and accompanying quizzes to test your knowledge. Participants will spend time reviewing and understanding the CHDS exam blue prints as well as studying level 2 clinical medicine concepts by specialty, health information technology, and speech recognition technology. The final two weeks of the course will be spent on practicing critical thinking and accuracy as well as applied transcription and editing skills.
All parties in the study course should be committed to following the schedule outlined and completing the course work in order to achieve the best results and be as prepared as possible prior to sitting for the CHDS exam.
Purpose and scope: The RHDS Study Course is an interactive ongoing 12-week session consisting of weekly reading assignments on current topics and excerpts from the Language of Medicine, 9th edition and The Book of Style for Medical Transcription, Third edition, presentations and recordings, activity sheets, and 10-20 question quizzes. Participants can chat live with other study group participants and post or comment on discussion topics in the forum.
