MHA-FPX 5066 Strategic Workflow Plan

MHA-FPX 5066 Strategic Workflow Plan

Develop a presentation slide deck of 15-20 slides that describes a strategic workflow plan for updating workflow as the hospital changes and implements new technology and processes. Note: You are not required to record or deliver this presentation.

Introduction

Note: Each assessment in this course is supported by the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

Health care organizations are integrating HIM systems into every aspect of their daily operations. Consequently, understanding and managing workflows from a strategic perspective is a crucial skill set for nurse leaders and managers.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply your understanding of best practices in HIM system workflow design and implementation.

Overview and Preparation

Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order they are presented.

Before you begin developing your presentation slides, be sure to complete both of the following Vila Health simulations. You will use the information from these activities, as well as information gathered from your own research, to complete the assessment.

MHA-FPX 5066 Strategic Workflow Plan

Vila Health: Strategic Workflow Plan.
In this simulation, you will assume the role of a mid-level administrator at Valley City Regional Hospital, a small rural hospital recently acquired by Vila Health. As a member of a working group focusing on process redesign associated with migrating from Valley City Regional Hospital’s current EHR (Electronic Health Record) to the one being used by Vila Health, your job is to help establish procedures for how workflow gets analyzed, disseminated, and updated when the system changes.
Vila Health: Policy and Procedure.
In this simulation, you will continue in the role of a mid-level administrator at Valley City Regional Hospital. You have a meeting with the workflow analysis working group who will be addressing best practices for implementing sound internal policies and procedures related to workflow associated with changes in HIM technology in a series of roundtable discussions.

Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft presentation to Smarthinking Tutoring for feedback before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.

Requirements

Develop a presentation slide deck that describes a strategic workflow plan for updating workflow as the hospital changes and implements new technology and processes. Your presentation audience is the executive leadership team. However, you are not required to record or deliver this presentation.

The requirements for your presentation, outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure you address each criterion at minimum. Read the Strategic Workflow Plan Scoring Guide to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.

Describe Valley City Regional Hospital’s current HIM technology infrastructure and common best practices for maintaining workflow (1–2 slides).
Describe HIM workflow and how those processes are identified in a typical health care setting (4–7 slides).
Consider common end-user functions, data entry, and privacy and security best practices.
Analyze the duties and responsibilities of the key personnel responsible for HIM workflow (2–3 slides).
What credible sources support your analysis?
Analyze common workflow standards supported by published best practices (2–3 slides).
What credible sources support your analysis?
Analyze state and federal guidelines that influence workflow (3–4 slides).
Be sure to include meaningful use guidelines.
Explain how Valley City Regional Hospital’s leaders will evaluate the effectiveness of the workflow strategies (1–2 slides).
What are the applicable evaluation criteria?
Develop presentation slides that communicate key elements of the plan to executive leaders.
Apply the principles of effective slide design.
Express your key points clearly and coherently, and support your assertions and conclusions with credible evidence.
Apply APA formatting to citations and references.
Proofread your slides to minimize errors that could distract the audience and make it difficult for them to focus on the substance of your presentation.
Presentation Format and Length

Remember, you may use Microsoft PowerPoint or other suitable presentation software to create your slides. If you decide to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your instructor to avoid potential file compatibility issues.

Organize your slide deck as follows:

Title slide.
Content slides.
References slide (at the end of your presentation).

Your slide deck should consist of 15–20 content slides plus title and references slides.

Avoid filling your slides with paragraphs of text.
Present talking points on your slides in 1–2 short bullet points per slide.
Highlight key concepts.
You do not need to add presenter’s notes.
All graphics should support the concepts being covered and include explanations and citations.
Avoid using only pictures and graphics to communicate your plan.
Supporting Evidence

Cite at least four current (published within the past five years) scholarly sources to support your presentation.

Portfolio Prompt: You may choose to save your strategic workflow plan to your ePortfolio.
