5 Management in Healthcare - Project This project involves designing a Health Information Department - your ideal Health Information Department. Take ideas from your clinicals and what you have learned throughout the program. Use your imagination also. Your department will be designed for a theoretical acute care facility with 100 acute care beds. The department must be displayed by a floor plan, along with some recognition of the flow of the medical record. This is not a flow chart, just the designing of how the record flows through the department, from desk to desk, etc. You must have an accompanying paper about your department. Basically, this narrative gives a description of your department s floor plan and services. This will be at least 5 typed full pages. Included should be: 1. How many full-time and part-time employees are in the department? Also include a personnel/salary budget for these employees. 2. How many shifts in the department? 3. Weekend and on call coverage? 4. Functions in the department? (transcription, coding, cancer registry, ROI, etc.) ***You cannot outsource these functions entirely. 5. Does this facility accept health information students? If so, how often? 6. How many RHIT's and RHIA's are employed in the department? Other AHIMA credentials? 7. Indicate what quality improvement tools/techniques will be utilized in the department. 8. Other important information. Additionally, you must have an organizational chart explaining the department. Put the name of the person's job, not the name of the person on the organizational chart. So instead of putting Ms. Ann Jones, RHIT, you should put Director, Health Information. (Power Point has organizational chart capabilities.) At the end of the semester you will make a professional presentation to the class describing the project. (Appropriate attire helps project a professional appearance.) The presentation will include Power Point slides. This Power Point presentation must include at least 20 slides and include graphics/images. You will need to turn in a handout for grading purposes. The length of your presentation should be minutes. Presentations will be made on the dates indicated on the course outline. Since there are two dates for presentations, half of the students will present on each date. Every student must be prepared to present on the first date. However, to give an equal opportunity to all, students will be selected for their presentations by a drawing of names. This project is worth 100 points. Please note the following breakdown of points. One point will be taken off for each typographical error on your typed report. Don't forget to proof your work and practice your presentation! Floor plan 25 points Presentation 25 points Paper 25 points Organizational chart & Power Point 25 points BE CREATIVE; HAVE FUN WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5
