I need advice. Planning to be an Electronic Health Records Technician?
I’m really having trouble with this. I found classes to sit for a CEHRS test. Then I hear that RHIT and HIM are better to get. Then I hear that the Health Information career is being taken over by AI.
I need a job soon. Im 41, and Im interested in an entry-level medical field option. I need either a WFH or desk job. I was in retail and customer service and call centers and I am absolutely sick of it. I decided to get credentials via schooling but having trouble finding the right place to start without wasting time/getting ripped off.
I have experience in some medical records working in Oxygen delivery for patients. I spoke to nurses and updated info. Im technically savvy, have a high-school diploma, and am easy to work with. I have the basic qualities to start.
I just need a start. I don’t have years but I want enough to be accredited for a decent job. Even if it’s entry-level. Can I start with CEHRS? If I need HIM or RHIT, I just need guidance on a school/course to be moving in the right direction. I live in Arizona.
Thank you to anyone who can share advice.
