I know you can't give answers, but I have messaged my instructor three days ago and never got any response. Is there anyone who can clarify the given assignment? I do not want answers... thank you very much. :)
Contrast the general responsibilities of records administrators and records technicians, as
depicted by the American Health Information Management Association. They also must
delineate three examples of differences in competencies between the certification exams for
these two professional categories. Students must contrast the general responsibilities of records administrators and records technicians, as depicted by the American Health Information Management Association. They also must delineate three examples of differences in competencies between the certification exams for these two professional categories.
Let's take this assignment one sentence at a time.
1. "Contrast the general responsibilities of records administrators and records technicians, as depicted by the American Health Information Management Association."
What are the differences and similarities between the duties and responsibilities of records administrators and records technicians.?
Use the American Health Information Management Association information.
2. "They also must delineate three examples of differences in competencies between the certification exams for
these two professional categories."
This is poorly worded as it's not clear what is meant by "they." However, you should explain or list three differences between the certification tests for these two professions.
The last two sentences repeat the first two sentences.
It's too bad that your instructor is unavailable to answer your questions. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your help. I believe that I can do this assignment. :)
You're very welcome. I'm sure you can do it!
I understand that you're looking for clarification on the assignment rather than answers. In this case, I can provide guidance on how you can find the information you need to fulfill the requirements of the assignment.
To contrast the general responsibilities of records administrators and records technicians as depicted by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), you can follow these steps:
1. Start by visiting the official website of AHIMA. You can search for them using any search engine to find the correct website.
2. Once you're on the AHIMA website, look for a section or page that provides information about the roles and responsibilities of records administrators and records technicians. This might be under headings like "Professions," "Careers," or "Certifications."
3. Read through the information provided on the website to understand the general responsibilities of both roles. Take note of the similarities and differences between the two positions.
4. To further support your assignment, you can also search for additional resources outside of AHIMA. You might want to search for articles, journals, or other reputable sources to gather more comprehensive information about the topic.
Now, to delineate three examples of differences in competencies between the certification exams for records administrators and records technicians, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by searching for the certification exams for records administrators and records technicians offered by AHIMA. The AHIMA website should have information about the certification programs they offer.
2. Look for the specific requirements and content covered in each certification exam. AHIMA should provide detailed descriptions of the exams, including the competencies tested.
3. Once you have identified the exams and their content, compare the competencies covered in each exam. Look for areas where the exams differ in terms of the knowledge, skills, and abilities being assessed.
4. Identify at least three examples of differences in competencies between the two exams and make a note of them. These differences could be related to specialized knowledge, technical skills, or areas of expertise required for each role.
Remember to always cite any sources you use for your assignment and to use the information you gather to write in your own words.
