Campus Health and CAPS is a unique health care entity and position duties do not necessarily compare to an academic department or other service units of the University. We face many challenges associated with healthcare delivery that most job descriptions do not address, including Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations ( JCAHO) accreditation, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA) compliance, CPT and ICD-9 coding, billing, electronic health record, and electronic insurance filing.
