Manager or Leader Plan: Health Information Management Strategies

This report outlines a manager or leader plan designed to improve Health Information Management (HIM) within an organization. The plan focuses on two key areas: management of outsourced information and patient education through portal access. The strategy involves retrenchment of full-time employees in favor of professional staff, cost reduction through leasing platforms, and performance-based evaluations to improve employee motivation. For patient portals, the plan emphasizes benchmarking, continuous employee training, and the provision of informational resources. The report employs various management theories, including Human Resource, Scientific, Motivational, System, and Participative Leadership theories, to support its strategies. The implementation of the plan aims to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, improve employee performance, and facilitate effective information flow within the organization. Performance will be evaluated after the completion of the set period to determine the variance in performance after plan implementation.
