Overview: Imagine you have been contracted to consult on the recent developments at the Featherfall Medical Center. Featherfall has been struggling of late; ithas had a series of problems that have prompted your hiring. It has faced the following issues:1. Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations regarding the current state of its technology and how it is being used. The technologysystem is vastly out of date, and staff are not always using the technology that is in place or they are using the technology inappropriately. Theseproblems have lost the institution lots of money for not meeting government regulations and have caused operational and ethical problems frominefficient and ineffective use of technology.2. The staff at Featherfall are not well-trained on the use of technology and do not communicate appropriately about technology use. The roles thatpertinent to your consult are the health information management team, the clinical staff (doctors, nurses, etc.), and administrative staff. The healthinformation management team uses proper coding practices, and the current technology system serves them well, despite its age. However, other rolesin the hospital have had issues with the system. Clinical staff, for instance, have had record-keeping issues both due to lack of training on the system andthe system itself being out of date. Administrative staff within the organization have taken issue with the lack of communication about the technologyand its use between the various roles.
