that 100% agreed that the narrated videos were easy to use and that it was easy to learn how to use the videos. “Relative advantage”: Responses from online students indicated that 89% agreed that the inclusion of the narrated videos improved their coding skills and enhanced their effectiveness on coding some of the required medical records. “Ease of use”: Responses from online students indicated that 89% agreed that the narrated videos were easy to use and that it was easy to learn how to use the videos. Success rates for these changes will be reviewed after spring 2015. Both of these coding courses are scheduled this year for revision with the Distance Learning department. Our goal for these revisions is not only to include the new ICD-10-CM coding system but also to transform and enhance the coding courses with narrated PowerPoints, “how to” video recordings, and course material and assignments to provide remediation for improved student success. In progress Completed No longer applicable The timeline for the ICD-9-CM coding system (national) conversion to the ICD-10-CM/PCS coding system is still undecided. Since the HIM 1201 course will be the first course required to contain the ICD-10-CM/PCS coding system, a course was developed (in ANGEL) and then “shelved” until the U.S. actually converts to the new coding system. However, as described above, the course was enhanced with feedback to provide technical guidance that students need for coding medical office scenarios. With the undecided timeline and SCC’s upcoming conversion from ANGEL to the elearn LMS, faculty decided not to convert HIM 2262 to ICD-10-CM/PCS at this time. However, as described above, the course was enhanced with narrated feedback to provide technical guidance that students need for coding advanced medical office scenarios. Investigate the option of developing and offering an advanced ICD-10-CM/PCS course for non-cohort students. In progress Completed With the uncertainty associated with the US government’s date of conversion to ICD-10-CM/PCS, this option is no longer a consideration.
