Dave Lingerfelt is the department chair for Health Care IT/Medical Billing and Coding at Johnson County Community College. He has 13 years of experience in health IT. There is a growing demand in the health care industry for workers with skills in areas like medical billing and coding due to an aging population and more people accessing health care. However, the current number of workers being trained does not meet this demand. Johnson County Community College addresses this need through its responsive and flexible health information systems program, which offers stackable credentials, degrees, and customized training through various delivery methods like online and classroom learning with support from industry advisory boards and partnerships.
