Assignment:
The HIM department of Memorial Hospital recently hired two new managers, a second shift supervisor and a day shift coding manager. During the hiring process, the HIM director realized that all HIM management staff needed a refresher course on the legal requirements that a manager must be familiar with in regards to employee hiring, training, discipline, and retention. The HIM director and the human resource consultant met and discussed the training needs of managerial employees in light of employment laws and their impact on the healthcare workforce. The HIM management team meets monthly to discuss pertinent topics and next month the HIM director is going to provide training on employment laws and how they impact the management of HIM employees.
Assumptions
• HIM management staff has not received previous training at this facility on the legal aspects of healthcare management.
• HIM management staff are always advised to consult with their human resource consultant if there are any legal issues involving HIM employees.
• The needs assessment results will suggest that HIM management staff require training on all employment laws covered within this chapter.
• The needs assessment will not actually be deployed for this assignment. If the process were actually performed within an HIM department, the needs assessment would be performed, the training program would be created, and then a post-education survey would be performed to assess learning. There would be data to aggregate to assess pre- and post- learning.
UPDATED Deliverables
1. Develop a survey to determine needs assessment reflecting questions regarding the knowledge level of HIM staff in terms of employment laws and how they impact the management of HIM employees.
