Assignment:

Perform a web search about the following. Define each strategy and explain the importance of each. Identify each definition by number so the response (to each strategy) and definition are easily understood.

Policy Strategies

1. Federal legislation (e.g., HIPAA, HITECH, 21st Century Cures Act in relationship to EHR)
2. CMS regulations (e.g., Conditions for Coverage, Conditions of Participation)
3. State legislation-specific laws (e.g., the content of the patient record, licensure)
4. Healthcare accreditation standards (e.g., The Joint Commission)

Organizational Strategies

Health record access and utilization (who, when, and why). EHR vs EMR

Information systems that support healthcare environments (examples of data-driven decisions).

Management of health information (e.g., concurrent versus discharge analysis, ongoing record review).

Directions:

• Describe the Policy and Organizational Strategies. (Make sure your instructor is confident in your knowledge of the subject.)
• Give examples of each type of strategy or law if applicable and define them. The report will require additional research from what your textbook offers.
• Cite all sources where referenced in the report, as opposed to listing them at the end of the report.
• The format of the report is not as important as following proper English (paragraph and sentence structure, capitalization, and punctuation).
