iPhone & iPad App for EMS Professionals: Triage Link
Triage Link is an App for iPhones and iPads that allows EMS professionals to quickly track vital signs of patients and other patient care data, eliminating the need for estimations on “crib sheets”.
The App collects patient data including age, gender, chief complaint, level of consciousness, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, pupils, lung sounds, skin color, temperature, moisture, Glasgow coma score, and triage status in real time.
The patient’s data is organized in a time-sequenced report which can then be emailed from the phone.

Medical Billing Errors Cost Patients
Errors made by medical billers can create undue costs for patients. This is why it is of the utmost importance for medical billers to be highly qualified and thoroughly trained.
Kaplan Continuing Education offers a medical billing certificate which can help you to further your education and prepare yourself for a career in the medical field. Students who have earned a medical billing certificate at Kaplan Continuing Education may find themselves prepared for the challenges they will face in a career in the medical field.
Let’s take a look at what happened when one medical biller made an error:
A pair of transposed digits in a medical identification number created unnecessary medical costs of over $100,000 for Mike Dziedzic, a husband caring for his dying wife.
This type of error is not uncommon.
Medical Billing Advocates of America estimate that 8 out of 10 bills audited from hospitals health care providers contain errors. Approximately 3% of all health care spending, or $68 billion, is lost to billing errors annually.
This is why it is so important that medical billers are well trained; to save money for patients, hospitals and health care providers. With a medical billing certificate from Kaplan Continuing Education, students will better understand the claims and reimbursement processes associated with commercial and government health insurance.
