Prompt
For the final project, you will imagine yourself as a HIM professional at New England North Hospital. You will begin by reviewing a medical record (see the HIM 200 Medical Record document, linked in the project assignment in Module Seven of your course), as well as the Joint Commission (E-dition) Standards. You will then report on findings related to the hospital’s compliance with laws, standards, and regulations in regard to how health record documentation is collected, stored, and eventually reported. In addition, you will analyze storage options for medical records and propose a recommendation for storage to enhance disaster recovery and data security. You will also assess the performance of the computer systems.
To complete the project, you will use the information in the following scenario:
The New England North Hospital uses manual data entry for all clinical notes and vital signs. When a nurse or clinician enters the health record, he or she has to manually enter the patient’s medical record number from the patient’s arm band. The healthcare information manager wants to automate some of the systems with barcode readers, automatic data capture, and other tools to help reduce data entry errors.
