Instructions Imagine that you are the Director of Health Information for a large hospital. As Director, you sit on various

institution-wide committees which govern the organization’s policies. You have seen issues arise that cause

you to propose changes in policies, procedures and operations across the hospital. Therefore, you have decided

to create a proposal to the CEO and Board of Directors, which you will develop in collaboration with committee

teams. Please follow the instructions below in completion of this assignment.

Part Competency Assessed Instructions

1 Evaluate, implement

and manage electronic

applications/systems for

clinical classification

and coding

Select two (2) applications/systems for clinical classification and coding

(e.g., encoders, computer assisted coding (CAC), etc.) and appraise each

vendor in terms of (1) capacity to evaluate quality coding practices, (2)

possible implementation considerations/issues, and (3) systems

management challenges and training needs. Provide support for one

system that you find as the "best option" with rationale.

2

Evaluate the accuracy

of diagnostic and

procedural coding

Consider the principles and applications of classification systems (e.g.,

ICD-10, HCPCS) and medical record auditing used within a clinical

documentation improvement (CDI) program. Appraise the value and

challenges of a quality CDI program by defending the need for ongoing

CDI program support and critique at least three (3) challenges in the CDI

process. Make connections between auditing, accurate diagnostic and

procedural coding with classification systems, and CDI programs. Your

executive summary should reflect upon the need for CDI and best

practices for ensuring compliance.

3 Advocate information

operability and

information exchange

Critique one interoperability issue that is possible within the health

information exchange (HIE) (e.g., patient identity matching). Appraise at

least three (3) best practices that address the issue.

4 Evaluate health

information systems and

data storage design

Evaluate at least three (3) health information systems (HIS) and three (3)

data storage designs (e.g., onsite, cloud). Select the best HIS and data

storage design for disaster recovery purposes. Indicate your selections

with rationale.

5 Manage clinical

indices/databases/regist

ries

Evaluate three (3) managerial challenges related to clinical indices,

databases, and registries from the perspective of a hospital's health

information management function. Recommend three (3) best practices or

policies related to the management of secondary data sources.

6 Evaluate data from

varying sources to

create meaningful

presentations

With respect to data warehousing, appraise at least two (2) approaches in

data warehouse design that supports quality data management from

varying sources, processing/storage of data throughout the warehouse

model, and meaningful output into the presentation layer. Summarize your

recommendations in the executive summary.
