Riassunto

This new Medical Assisting text with supplemental materials provides an innovative, visually interesting, and well-written interactive package that will appeal to both the community college and career school market. Comprehensive coverage focuses on the impact of managed care and current health care trends to reflect the realistic viewpoint of the busy medical office environment in which today's Medical Assistants will find themselves. A key feature of the text is that it is organized to follow the way a patient moves through the medical office, from the time they check in at the front desk through their clinical experience, then back out to the front desk for checkout. This logical organization can easily be broken into separate administrative and clinical sections for programs who teach this information independently. Each chapter refers students to Internet resources and is linked to various supplements for further study and practice.
