NEW BOOK ON PATRIOT MEDICAL®:

Computer Applications for the Medical Office - Patriot Medical®


WESTERVILLE, Ohio, January 10, 1997 - The F. A. Davis Company recently published a unique textbook integrated with Patriot Healthcare Development's Patriot Medical®, a comprehensive medical information system.

The book, Computer Applications for the Medical Office - Patriot Medical®, 2nd. Edition, is authored by Barbara A. Gylys, BS, MEd, CMA-A, Professor of Health and Human Services at the University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio. The book is part of an integrated package that includes a workbook with software, and an extensive Instructor’s Manual with a computer testbank. The textbook is designed as an interactive, competency-based approach to learning computerized management of a medical office. Using Patriot Medical®, the book guides students from patient registration and insurance reimbursements to electronic claims submissions, accounts receivable management for a medical practice and other typical administrative activities.

"Medical Assistants who cannot use computers confidently will be at a professional disadvantage," said Gylys. "Using this book and the Patriot Medical® software, individuals with no previous computer experience can learn to use a PC to manage patient records, billing and insurance claims processing.” Gylys is also the author and co-author ofseveral popular learning packages, including the textbooks Medical Terminology: A Systems Approach, 3rd. ed. and Medical Terminology Simplified: A Programmed Learning Approach by Body Systems, 2nd. ed., and an interactive software program on CD-ROM entitled Interactive Medical Terminology.

"Patriot Medical® provides a solid foundation for students to develop medical office computer skills," said Poh Willson, Director of Sales and Marketing for PHD. "It is used throughout the U. S. It is very easy to use. Nearly seventy percent of the respondents to a recent survey rated it as being easy to use and learn. Because of Patriot's simple and unobtrusive layout, students will be able to concentrate on learning concepts."

Computer Applications for the Medical Office - Patriot Medical® is used in the classrooms of numerous colleges, vocational, and proprietary schools throughout the United States, while Patriot Medical® is used internationally to manage medical offices.
