Hello Janis,
As a group practice manager and clinic administrator, I had basic familiarity with the electronic health records (EHR) systems used by my organization. I also have a solid working knowledge of the word processing applications used by my organization.
I recommend you get to know what EHR systems are used by the health systems that interest you, and look to gain demonstrable experience in their application. Good medical support assistants are vital to the success of health systems.
Best regards,
Rob

I think education around EMR in general would be helpful. What is an EMR? How is it designed? What companies create/sell EMRs (Epic, Cerner, Meditech, etc.). Also, education around payment models in healthcare (value based purchasing inpt/outpt). Volunteer at a hospital and/or clinic.
