Management of coding personnel is a likely responsibility you will have at one point or another in your HIM career.
With the evolution of the electronic medical record (EMR), computer assisted coding (CAC), and implementation of ICD-10-CM, these changes will shape your future roles directly, specifically with managing and integrating them into the healthcare delivery system, regardless of the type of facility you are in.
There are two parts of this question for you to compile a response. First, present a comprehensive overview of how you would specifically assess your coding department, personnel, and workflow to meet these requirements as the HIM Director of a hospital.
At minimum, the following areas should be include in your response: examination of personnel, processes, technology, and training.
Secondly, what types of data and reports should be used to support your analysis and ongoing monitoring of the HIM Department (be specific)?
Please use at least one HIMSS or AHIMA journal article to support your departmental assessment and provide your source (in APA) at the end of the content.
