Describe Technology Applications in Healthcare performance.

SCENARIOYou are the healthcare administrator for a small critical access hospital (i.e., 25 beds or fewer). Your administration team includes the director of nursing, the chief medical officer, the director of support services, the director of pharmacy, and the health information management (HIM) director. You and your team have been tasked with investigating a recent data breach. As the data breach was investigated, several members of the staff have been identified as being directly involved in the breach. Several patients experiencing the compromise of their PHI have filed legal claims with the intent to sue. Your team is also accountable for implementing an electronic health record (EHR) system, which is a newly initiated technology in a culture that is resistant to change. The board of directors has requested that you have a plan addressing both of these issues ready to present in two weeks.Use the guide to help assist you with the C427 Performance Assessment. Beneath each prompt you will find tips to help with the completion of the task.A. Create a planning, organizing, directing, controlling (PODC) HIPAA training model by doing the following:1. Describe how you would teach the hospital employees the rules and regulations regarding HIPAA.This prompt will include a detailed description outlining how you, the administrator, would proceed with instructing hospital employees about the rules and regulations of HIPAA. Be sure to apply the PODC framework as you are developing and outlining your plan.P-What are the goals and the best way to achieve them?O-What resources(people, equipment, money) are necessary to achieve the HIPAA training?D-How is the information being delivered (modules, PPT, etc)? Means of motivating employees to complete?C-How are we ensuring employee understanding of the materials?a.

Explain three security practices the audit will review (e.g., PHI sign-out sheets, secured storage/location of records).Search POLICY BRIEF I HIPAA, Privacy, and Security Issues for Healthcare Services Organizations in the text to help develop the most accurate description OR pages 14-18 of the text to discover the components HMIS and HER systems that are necessary to be secure. Once identified explain the plan for reviewing these security practices.An additional place to search is the Course Search area of the Course of Study. Click the magnifying glass to enter the search term ‘examples’. Once entered, select the link entitled Risk Assessment Examples to view.Lastly, the below website is helpful in establishing a risk assessment plan:https://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/security-risk-assessmentc. Describe three potential changes that can be made within the organization to address the results of the audit (e.g., additional employee education).Using the results of the facility audit, describe three potential changes or interventions that can be implemented to address the results of the audit, work towards improving what was discovered during the facility audit.d. Create a risk assessment plan to identify the potential for any future security breaches.Reference the risk assessment report template. Customize the assessment to fit the needs of your risk assessment. It does not have to be in the format of a table.i. Identify how often this assessment plan should be completed.Within your risk assessment indicate the how often each risk or the overall risks will be assessed. This should be an identified time period or time frame.ii. Identify who will complete this assessment plan.Identify the most appropriate individual/department to oversee the audit. Justify your reasoning for selecting this individual/department as being the most appropriate.B. Determine the financial impact of a new EHR system by doing the following:1. Develop a risks versus benefits summary for the key stakeholders of the hospital to showwhy an EHR system should be invested in and implemented.Frame a detailed risk versus benefits summary. This can be in the delivery format of your choice (i.e. table, paragraph, bullet points, etc.). But it is necessary to highlight both the risks and benefits of investing and implementing an EHR system within your healthcare organization. Consider stakeholders who will be involved when developing this summary.a. Identify four key decision makers who give input and buy-in.Identify the most appropriate individuals/departments to give input and buy-in. Justify your reasoning for selecting these individuals/departments as being the most appropriate.b. Include two CMS requirements for the new system.Utilize the document titled ‘CMS and EHR’. List two CMS requirements for the new system.2 List four new hardware components required for the new system.The Technology Briefs located within your text have a wealth of information. Using Technology Brief II identify hardware components that could be essential for the new EHR system.a. Identify the potential capital dollar investment for the new system.Using the ‘Information for EHR Vendors’ attachment at the bottom of the Taskstreamrubric, identify the potential capital dollar investment for the new system (the system that you select).b. Discuss which of the three EHR systems—Cerner, Meditech, or Epic—would be the best system for your organization using information in the web links section below and the attached “Information on EHR Vendors.”Using the ‘Information for EHR Vendors’ attachment at the bottom of the TaskstreamRubric, select which of the three EHR systems would be the best system for your organization. Justify your selection of this system.3. Identify three components or applications that will need to be incorporated into the EHR system at your small critical access hospital.Utilize the document titled ‘CMS and EHR’. List two CMS requirements for the new system.a. Discuss the key security and privacy components of the EHR system you selected in part B2b.C. Create an appropriate training plan for all clinical and non-clinical staff by doing the following: 1. Identify the estimated number of total hours required to learn the EHR system for bothclinical and non-clinical staff.The number of total hours required to learn the EHR system is the decision of the student. This can be either the same or a different number of hours for both clinical and non-clinical staff. Justify the decision for the number of hours.2. Describe the logistics required to train all employees on all shifts by doing the following: a. Identify how many training sessions would be reasonable for approximately 150 day-shift employees.The number of training sessions required to learn the EHR system is the decision of the student. Justify the decision for the number of training sessionsb. Identify how many training sessions would be reasonable for approximately 50 night- shift employees.The number of training sessions required to learn the EHR system is the decision of the student. Justify the decision for the number of training sessionsc. Identify how much the training will cost, assuming an average wage of $21 per hour and a total training length of 6 hours per employee and 10 hours per employee.Be sure to show calculations. This calculation should result in range for the stated 6 hours and 10 hours. It is not one or the other or a value in between the two.d. Develop a training plan for 75 physicians (40 are active medical staff, 35 see patients on a consult or specialist basis).i. Design a schedule, using the attached “Proposed Physician Schedule,” that allows all physicians to learn the new program while also providing adequate coverage for patient care on a 24-hour basis.The Physician Schedule attachment in the Performance Assessment should only be used as somewhat of an example, but it is completely inadequate to complete this portion of the task. There’s a couple of things that you need to consider to get this done:1) This is a training schedule, not a work schedulea. First determine how many hours of training each physician should get2) Think about labelling each of the 75 physicians by number (Physician 1, Physician 2, etc.)a. The group them (Physician 1-5, physician 6-10, etc.)3) Determine the timeframe of your training (over 2 weeks, over 2 months, etc.)a. Set up this timeframe in Excel (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.)4) In excel, set up your training schedule over the specified timeframe for eachphysician or physician groupa. This way you can ensure that each physician gets the required training.b. Physicians work 7 days a week, 24 hours a dayNote 1: You do not need to consider which specialty the physician is in. Just make sure each physician gets the required number of training hours over the specified timeframe.3. Describe a train-the-trainer program you could implement to ensure ongoing support and training of new employees.4. Describe a transition plan for employees transitioning from the old EHR system to the new EHR system.Use the following website to detail your EHR transition plan.https://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/ehr-implementation-stepsa.
