Certified Electronic Health Record Specialist Certificate Paper medical records are not meeting the needs of doctors and patients. There is an increase in errors, health care costs are rising, and there seems to be a missing link in a patient’s coordination of care. Many of these errors can be overcome if information technology is applied throughout the healthcare system. As you prepare for a career in the health care workplace, it is important that you develop a clear understanding of the significant impact an EHR system has on work processes in a healthcare environment. When you begin your career, you will either immediately, or very soon thereafter, use an EHR system as a primary tool to support your duties and the office workflow. The EHR knowledge and experience gained through this certificate program will be a valuable component of the full set of competencies and skills you bring to your workplace.

Continuing & Professional Education
Registration Information
There are no requirements to attend most noncredit Continuing Education classes for adults. Most classes do not require a high school diploma or GED, although some experience may be necessary. Check course description for details and required prerequisites or call the Department of Continuing & Professional Education at 732.255.0409. Class Confirmation Course confirmations/registration receipts are emailed upon registration. (Note: a registration receipt can be printed when registering online.) It is the responsibility of the student to confirm the start of the course and the room assignment by checking online at www.ocean.edu/cpe.htm. The weekly schedule goes online each Friday. All classes are at OCC, unless noted. IMPORTANT! You must bring your registration receipt/ confirmation to class with you. If you register close to the start of the class you may not appear on the instructor’s attendance sheet, so you will not be allowed in the class unless you show your payment receipt.
Refund Policy We will be pleased to offer you a refund for a class ONLY if you withdraw at least four business days, between the hours of 8:00am-4:00pm, prior to the start date of the class. Refunds will be issued within 2-4 weeks based on the original payment method. There will be no refunds issued should a student be dismissed from class for misconduct. Student substitutions will not be permitted for courses.
