HIT 120 WEEK 3 HEALTH INFORMATION FUNCTIONS

This week, we will discuss various functions within the health information management department. In preparation for these discussions, complete your weekly reading and listen to the weekly lecture. In addition,

• Go to http://www.ahima.org/careers and explore the web page by focusing on the career map, the salary study, student membership, and other links of interest; and
• Check out the certification tab at http://www.ahima.org/certification and learn about the various certifications available.

Then, discuss the following:

1. Read the Real-World Case 3.1 (at the end of Chapter 3). Briefly summarize the situation and identify the users of health records in the case. What function is being addressed? What role can the consultants play in the MPI cleanup? Why did the facility find itself in this situation and what could they have done to prevent it?
2. Discuss your current career plans within the health information profession. What skills do you think you already possess, and what do you need to work on in order to successfully pursue the desired career?
3. Read another student’s response and post a comment. Your comment can add to their discussion, supplement with additional information, or present another point of view. It is not enough to simply post “agree” or “great job!”

Your discussion deliverables should include:

1. Two written responses discussing any of the topics above. Make sure you write the topic you are responding to at the beginning of your response.
2. A third written response of your choice. This can be about:
   1. The third topic you did not address already. If you go with this option, make sure you identify which topic you are addressing.
   2. Response to a new question or probe posted by the professor during the week. Start by stating which question or probe you are addressing and make sure you click under that particular thread.
   3. Further explanation or elaboration on another student’s response. Start by stating which student’s response you are addressing and make sure you click under that particular thread.
   4. Sharing of relevant experiences or examples that support the issue being discussed. Explain which concepts you are illustrating with your example.

For a high-quality response, please make sure to provide details and explanations and use your own words. Please DO NOT plagiarize (do not copy the textbook or do not copy information from the internet.) It’s OK to write in simple terms; the most important outcome is to practice you writing and presentation skills, reflect your knowledge about this week’s content, and demonstrating professionalism. This will help with retention in the long-term. Don’t forget to use proper grammar and spelling, as well as references for the additional resources you use.
