QUALITY EVALUATION OF HIM DEPARTMENT
Introduction:
The department of Health Information Management deals with the managing of the
recorded information related to health of the patients and the healthcare system. This department
usually focuses on acquiring the patient data and analyzes them in providing a developed system
of healthcare (Nippak et al. 2016). The information is mainly the digital and physical records of
the information related to the medical status of the patient. The working principle of this
department employs the applications of general science, business and the information
technology.
In this report, a certain dilemma has been presented to the director of the HIM department
leading to the hiring of a new HIM coordinator (Laudon and Laudon 2016). There are specific
problems with the functionality of department including the loss of physical data records, daily
management failure, quality issues etc. Therefore, the responsibility of the new coordinator is to
devise a proper strategy to enhance the quality of the department focusing on the appropriate
monitoring of the system.
