HERE’S WHAT YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS CAN EXPECT FROM THE NEW EDITION OF MOP:

• The table of contents has been restructured to reflect today's courses, including more integrated coverage of HIPAA, coverage of electronic health records, and a brand-new chapter (9) on preparing for employment.

• It contains a brand-new interior design, along with vibrant four-color photos.

• Each chapter has been matched up with the appropriate ABHES and CAAHEP competencies, which are listed on the chapter opener.

• The pedagogy has been updated to make the text even easier to use, including the learning outcomes. The learning outcomes are revised to reflect Bloom's Taxonomy, and the major chapter heads are structured to reflect the learning outcomes (and are numbered accordingly).

• New HIPAA tips are included, as well as Soft Skills Success discussions, which include critical-thinking questions.

• The end-of-chapter material now includes a tabular summary, tied to the learning outcomes, new Using Terminology questions, and new multiple-choice questions. The Thinking It Through questions, which encourage critical-thinking skills, have been updated.

• The chapter projects have been updated and aligned with the new organization of the book.

• The updated Working Papers are both at the back of the book and available electronically at the book's Online Learning Center.

• Medisoft ® Advanced Version 16 is used for all Medisoft screen shots and the related student data file.
