It is important for organizations to maintain business continuity. Risk management is a part of the overall business continuity and disaster recovery processes. Risk management plans are developed after a comprehensive risk assessment and require active management involvement. Management’s involvement ensures that the effective risk controls can be identified and implemented successfully. You are continuing your work in developing the business continuity plan for your organization. In this assignment, you will create a risk management table for the IT Department for the scenario organization.  Note: Information about the IT Department will be from your previous assignment. You can make changes but make sure you reflect any changes in your documents previously created.  Resources: ·        A sample risk management template from https://www.computerweekly.com/tip/Free-IT-risk-assessment-template-download-and-best-practices is available here or is found in the Templates folder in the left navigation panel.

While the EHR will impact departments outside of HIM, it will also impact staffing in the HIM department.    From your reading about EHR implementation, you realize that the EHR will drastically change tasks in the HIM department.  Your department’s clerical area is most affected; paper sorting and chart assembly will be almost eliminated by the EHR, and chart analysis, which used to be done with paper records, will be done on the computer.    Currently, 10 full time employees (FTEs) handle these tasks; not everyone is computer-savvy.  The Director wants you to prepare the department for changes ahead.  She asks you to report to her next week about how you will present this at the next HIM staff meeting.  Change is difficult, especially when someone’s job may change or be eliminated.  Research change management strategies and in a two-page paper, using APA format, discuss: •        How a manager can present change, when change is not necessarily positive. •        What new skills must be learned with the new EHR system (EPIC)? •        Who should be trained in the new tasks?  •        Who should train them? In-house Super User trainer or vendor trainer?  Is there a cost? •        If the FTE load must be reduced to 8 FTEs with the new system, how do you recommend going about making this change? What should you consider for reducing staff?  What criteria will you use to recommend which staff should in the reduction of staff? Case Scenario (FYI) Rasmussen Medical Center is a 250 bed acute care rural critical care medical facility with the following centers:  general medical services, surgical care services, emergency department, cardiac intensive care, general intensive care, laboratory, radiology, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, nutritional services and nursing services.  The administrative departments are HIM, Claims and Billing Management, Quality Management, Patient Access and Risk Management.  The Medical consists of 25 physicians and surgeons, 5 Physician Assistants, and 5 general medical Hospitalist.  The Emergency Department is operated by an outside emergency medical physician services and radiology services send radiology to an outside service to read the x-rays.  The outside service has a routine turn-around of 5 hours.   The facility also includes a 20 bed SNF and an Ambulatory Center for day surgery and diagnostic services.   The HIM Department has kept transcription and coding in-house along with records review, compliance, CDI but release of information has been out-sourced to a ROI company who placed a ROI clerk on site.  The hospital has an outdated electronic health records system which needs to be replaced.    The old legacy system has the following issues:   ·       Poor mobile access and communication – there is no patient portal system available and physicians cannot access their incomplete records outside of the hospital ·       Lack of built in tracking of suggested screenings, test and medication interaction to improve patient care. – No effective physician reminder or clinical alert system ·       No monitoring or alerts for incorrect or coding errors ·       Poor integration with other systems or portals – unable to complete required exchange of health information.  (System is unable to communicate effectively with E-prescribing, billing, data sharing other clinical facilities and reporting to CMS). ·       Time consuming documentation workflow – documenting and updating patient information is difficult and time consuming.  Clinicians are complaining that it takes too long to input patient data.   The new system should be able to do all of these functions for the facility.   EHR Implementation: Gathering Information   This is your first day on the job as Assistant Director in the HIM department at Rasmussen Medical Center (RMC).  You meet with the HIM Director and she explains that RMC has given her the go-ahead to begin the process of implementing a new electronic medical record.  As Assistant Director, you will have responsibility for several phases of this important project.  Your Director knows that while you have earned an RHIT certification, you still need to learn some background before you begin.  You have one week to learn as much as you can about EHR implementation.   You know that you may have more questions as the process goes along, think about collecting additional resources as you do your initial research.   The HIM Director has given you some things to think about while you’re researching the implementation process.  Those items are:   ·       What steps are needed to transition from a legacy EHR to a new EHR system? ·       What’s involved in a data migration from the legacy system to a new EHR? ·       Who would be the best members of an EHR Task Force and Work Team? ·       How can you verify that an EHR system is ONC certified? ·       What type of issues can we expect to have during this transitioning process?

A Consulting Firm’s Lost Paradise: You read about and practiced with various concepts regarding organizational structure and culture which affect employee behavior and success. Read the scenario carefully and provide your response regarding the organizational structure and culture in the fictional organization provided below. Scenario (fictional): An industry consulting firm has the following structure and culture: All the employees at this consulting firm work full-time. All the full-time consultants report to various industry directors depending on the industry contract. The company employees work mostly from home with directors or consultants renting temporary office space with or without videoconferencing when needed for either client meetings or vendor meetings. The company is very successful and has an expanding client base. The company CEO is extremely relaxed and extremely smart and expects everyone at the company to display a relaxed yet expert demeanor as well. There really are very few rules or expectations at the company as the CEO also believes in keeping processes very simple. The previous president retired about six months ago, and the CEO, together with a human resources firm, hired a new president. About two months ago the company’s employees (i.e., consultants) started receiving emails from the new president putting pressure on all of them to produce results in less time but pressuring them to charge the clients higher sums without making any more money for themselves. In addition, the new president wants the staff to come into the office now three times a week for meetings. Three months ago the new president hired thirty new full-time consultants that seem more like salespersons than consultants to existing employees. A few of the long-time consultants have been emailing the CEO about these changes and suggesting they may go elsewhere. In the meantime, the Finance Director has detected several anomalies in the contract terms and financial results from some of the new consultants and one or two of the existing consultants. Describe the organizational structure at this consulting firm and how it affects employee behavior. Describe how the changes to the organization’s culture might affect employee behavior. Provide a recommendation for any adjustments you think need to be made at this organization based on the Reading and explain why.
