What competencies are needed for entry level employment in healthcare/HIS?

Practice using Medisoft by completing exercises from Chapters 12. TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF EACH COMPLETED REPORT AND PASTE THE SCREEN SHOT INTO THE WORD DOCUMENT. SAVE THE WORD DOCUMENT WITH YOUR LAST NAME, FIRST NAME, WEEK 4 PROJECT. For example, SmithBobWeek4Project.

How to take a screenshot: Find the print screen key on your computer. It may be labeled PrtScrn, Per SC, Prnt Scrn, or something similar to any of these. On some laptops, you may also have to press the Fn (function) key at the same time to enable the print screen key. Press the key or keys. You will not receive any indication the screenshot has been taken and in order to see it, you will have to paste it into your word document. Open Word and press the Ctrl and the V keys. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8, you have a program called Snipping Tool that can be used to either save your snip as a picture ( jpg) or simply paste into your word document (use paste or the Ctrl and the V keys).
