Chapter 7 Health Information Functions

Lesson Plan Background and Instructional Delivery This chapter focuses on the functions required by the processing of paper records, hybrid records, and the electronic health record, including storage and retrieval, chart processing, monitoring of chart completion, transcription, release of information, and clinical coding. Storage and maintenance of the health record is the most fundamental HIM function and affects all other functions. If records and information are not stored and maintained appropriately, then it is almost impossible to perform other tasks. This chapter discusses filing systems, storage systems, microfilming, remote storage, chart tracking, and quality monitoring of paper-based record systems. The HIM functions of hybrid and electronic health records systems are also discussed. In addition to the typical HIM functions, other related functions that are sometimes performed by the HIM department are also discussed, including research and statistics, cancer and trauma registries, and birth certificates. Figure 7.1 of the chapter provides a description of a fictional HIM department. This fictional department will help students to visualize how all the various services and functions of the HIM department are integrated. Review the department organization with students and discuss the HIM functions. Students may have been exposed to other HIM departments through work, site visits or rotations. This is a good opportunity to discuss differences and similarities among organizational structures and functions of HIM departments. Secondary uses of health data are also discussed in this chapter. Indexes and registers support functions for areas such as coding and research and statistics. This section covers the customary indexes and registers. Patient registration is discussed as the starting point of the health record with the collection of demographic information, admitting diagnosis, and payment information. Points of registration are described for a large healthcare facility. Discussion of the need for coordination and consistency of registration activities should be emphasized with regard to data integrity, completeness, and accuracy. If possible, obtain registration forms from various points of patient registration and compare these for consistency. The interdepartmental relationships in regards to data integrity and health record content should be discussed. The next section of the chapter covers the management of the health record content and processes. Joint Commission accreditation is discussed, with examples of the HIM monitoring activities that assist in determining compliance with Joint Commission standards. The instructor should discuss other examples of the HIM department’s involvement in the accreditation process. Forms design and development are also covered. In most acute care facilities, the medical records committee serves as the forms committee.   Chapter Outline Learning Objectives Key Terms Introduction Theory into Practice HIM Functions and Services

Projects 1. Numeric Filing Exercise: For this project students will use index cards labeled with health record numbers to practice terminal digit and middle digit filing. Create health record number labels • In Microsoft Word 2007 click Mailings,” click on “labels” • Click on the “label” tab • Click on “options” • Select product number (example Avery 5160) • Click “ok” • Click on “New Document” (blank label page will display) Type one health record number on each label. Center numbers on labels. (See sample label page at end of this section of Instructor Manual. You may use the health record numbers from the sample. Keys are based on this sample set of numbers.) Put each label on a separate index card. The stack of index cards simulates a stack of health records that need to be filed. Have students put the index cards in terminal digit order (TDO). Students can check their accuracy against the answer key. Have students repeat the process by putting the index cards in middle digit order. 2. HIM Databases: Have students identify the data fields that should be collected for the databases maintained in the HIM department. Examples of the databases maintained by HIM include release of information, master patient index, chart tracking, chart deficiency, and clinical coding abstract. If students have knowledge of Microsoft Access, have students build a database for one or more of the functions listed above. Lecture Use the enclosed PowerPoint slides as a lecture guide.

Keys Real-World Case Discussion Questions 1. Discuss how the hybrid record will change the role of the HIM professionals working in the Health Records Department. There is no longer the need to have employees assemble the chart into the prescribed order. The barcode identifying the type of form will allow the system to index the form into the correct location in the record. These employees will prepare paper portions of the health record for scanning. The health record would still be analyzed for completion. Chart completion is facilitated as the record can be accessed from remote locations. Quality checks on scanned images are needed to assure the readability before paper records are destroyed. Work queues are used to facilitate the workflow and identify records awaiting various HIM functions. As the facility captures data in a more structured format, the medical coder will verify the codes assigned by the computer. As meaningful use (MU) evolves the HIM professional will assist in demonstrating that MU criteria have been met. 2. As this department continues to move toward an electronic health record, discuss how computer assisted coding (CAC) could be adopted. More structured data included in the health record will allow the CAC system to search the health record and assign codes using build in rules and coding principles. Have students research CAC systems and evaluate how the role of the medical coder will change. Application Exercises 1. Internet Search Exercise: Do an Internet search to locate vendors of electronic health record (EHR) systems. From your search, develop an electronic scrapbook of different electronic health records systems, including price information, if available. Make a table that compares the available products. Review the comparisons and conclusions to see that the student demonstrates an understanding of the EHR systems Suggested format of students’ comparison table: The table could include the following information. 1) Vendor: Name of vendor. 2) Product Name: Most vendors offer many EHR products depending on the type of facility for which the product is used. Enter the product name here. 3) Website: Enter the URL of where the student found the demonstration and/or product information. YouTube offers many short video demonstrations of EHRs. 4) Functionality: In this column list the main features (functionalities) of the EHR systems. (for example, does the system include a practice management or registration module, templates for documentation, free-text, voice recognition, computerized-assisted coding, computerized physician order entry, e-prescribing, and such) 5) Type of setting: Enter here whether the product is marketed for the physician office setting, hospital, or other healthcare setting. 6) Certified: Enter here whether or not the EHR product is certified. If the product is certified note the specific certification. Vendor Product Name Website (URL) Functionality Type of setting Certified Have students compare the paper-based health record described in this chapter with the EHR systems described in their table. Answers will vary based on student response. 2. Health Record Forms Assessment: Collect samples of different health record forms. Make a checklist of the properties that should be included in good forms development. Compare your samples against the properties on your checklist. What recommendations would you make for improvement on the forms design? Direct students to the section in the chapter that discusses forms design. Ask students to develop a data collection form to serve as a checklist or provide a checklist for the students. Discuss their recommendations. Answers will vary based on student response. 3. Destruction of Health Information. Do an Internet search to locate three vendors that destroy paper health records. Compare and contrast their services. Answers will vary based on student response. 4. Retention of Health Information. Research the retention requirements for your state include health records, radiology films, and other formats/records. Answers will vary by state. Review Quiz Instructions: Choose the most appropriate answer for the following questions. 1.
