Thanks Michael and First Man Down.
Congratulations Firstman, it is the pass that matters..you have done it!
I should be getting my result in a week's time. Some what anxious, I guess!
michael009, download the practice software and try the cases. Put in the orders and you should then see the "Report time" of your order. You should advance the clock to the report time of the most important test that can affect your case management. eg: patient comes with chest pain, you place orders - oxygen, iv access, ekg, cxr, morphine, nitro, aspirin if CAD risk factor is present. The test here that can alter your management and guide you on your further approach is the EKG. So, check the report time for the EKG order - advance the clock to that time. If EKG is positive for MI, you will have to start MI management. If negative, you should search for other causes of chest pain by advancing the clock to other test result eg; cxr is the next. In this way it changes from case to case. This reporting time based advancing of the clock will help you to act STAT when that result is reported abnormal. I hope I made it clear. It is so difficult to write this when compared to showing it on the software,
I would strongly recommend that you attend Dr.red CCS workshop. I would rank it as the best for CCS. All the above things I wrote were demonstrated to us clearly in his workshop. He will show you step by step and will make you practice cases in his webinar.
Good luck with your prep.
