Entry-level and advanced programs offer hospital systems and health care
providers numerous solutions for training coders, admins, techs, and nurses
through online continuing education.
Fort Lauderdale, FL March 1, 2010
-- Kaplan Continuing Education (KCE), a leader in health care certificate
programs, has developed online
continuing education programs for nurses, human resources administrators,
and billing and coding professionals that enable employers in the health care
industry to offer continuing education as an employee benefit. KCE’s options for
nurses include convenient continuing education certificate programs such as
legal nurse consulting, geriatric care management, and many other programs in
specific nursing fields. Additional health care certificate programs include
medical billing and coding, which teaches those individuals involved with
accounting and daily administrative tasks proper techniques.
In a recent KCE survey of students, 72 percent of respondents stated that
their employer does not reimburse employees for professional education. To help
businesses address this need, KCE partners with health care companies and
organizations to offer health care
certificate programs that are both cost effective for employers and
convenient for employees. KCE works with hospitals and medical facilities to
offer certificate programs that provide continuing education for nurses online,
as well as training for other health care professionals.
“KCE continues to offer programs focused on online continuing education for
nursing as well as the medical billing and coding professions to help open this
field to all who are interested,” said Ron Trautman, President of KCE. “We
strive to provide access to online health care certificate programs and programs
that will further nurses’ continuing education by working with hospital
facilities and health care providers to make these programs available to their
employees.”
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rapid growth in
America’s elderly population will contribute to the growing health care field.
This growth could also lead to an increased demand for health care certificate
programs. Online continuing
education for nurses and other health care programs enable people with busy
lives to continue in the profession they love, while getting the training they
need.
