I need help developing a presentation, supported by 10-15 slides, on compliance with current regulations affecting health informatics systems for one healthcare setting only.
Introduction:
The health care sector is widely known for being heavily regulated. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that health care informatics regulations are on the rise. Several new government initiatives have health care organizations scrambling to implement, update, or overhaul health information systems to meet government regulations.
It is vital that health care administrators stay current with the regulatory environment. Investment in health information systems alone can be very high, and systems that are noncompliant or incompatible with current regulations can add to these costs, sometimes costing more than the system itself.
Overview:
For this assessment, you will assume the role of a mid-level administrator who has been asked to develop a presentation on compliance with current regulations on health informatics systems.
Requirements:
Develop a slide deck to support your presentation, detailing a plan to comply with current regulations related to the HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and ACA (Affordable Care Act). Tailor your plan to a specific health care setting of your choice.
Identify regulatory agencies and laws that impact HIM.
Be sure to highlight the specific regulations in the HITECH, HIPAA, and Affordable Care Act legislation that impact HIM.
How do the various agencies and laws affect HIM?
Articulate the roles and responsibilities of health care managers in meeting current HIM regulatory obligations.
Consider current, applicable legislation and best practices for compliance.
What evidence supports your assertions and conclusions?
Develop a plan to assist a health care organization, within your chosen health care setting, to comply with current HIM regulations.
What are the applicable requirements?
Will your plan help the organization adapt to an evolving regulatory environment?
Identify agencies of particular relevance to your chosen health care organization.
Why do you consider these agencies to be particularly relevant?
What evidence supports your contention of relevance?
Analyze the benefits of aligning with current HIM oversight organizations.
Include the benefits of aligning with, or joining, a HIM support organization, such as AHIMA (American Health Information Management Association) or HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society).
How might alignments and memberships help the organization to comply with regulations?
What evidence supports your analysis?
Present your findings and conclusions clearly and coherently.
Does the design and flow of your presentation reflect adherence to the basic principles of effective presentations?
Proofread your slides to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your presentation.
