Prepare a quality assessment process
Paper Description
Every week during this class, you will be working with a group to complete a group assignment. Each week there will be a different assignment with different requirements.
In order to receive credit for the group project, students must have demonstrated participation in the project. Participation is measured by the group discussion board, group file exchanges, and recorded group collaborate sessions. Individual assignments will not be accepted.
Be sure to review the grading rubric weekly for each group assignment.
From the textbook, Case Studies in Health Information Management, follow the instructions to complete case 7-3 Productivity Study and 7-6 Instituting Productivity and Quality Standards for Imaging or Scanning Records Vitalsource: Case Studies for Health Information Management

CASE 7-6: Instituting Productivity and Quality Standards for Imaging or Scanning Records
You are the new imaging supervisor. The previous supervisor recently retired after 35 years of service to the hospital. The facility has had the imaging system only for the past 6 months.
The scanners are responsible for prepping the medical record as well as the actual scanning. They do not index, nor do they conduct quality checks. If the quality control clerks find more than 1–2 pages in a chart that need to be rescanned, the chart is returned to the scanners for rework.
The first thing that you noticed is the significant backlog of charts to be scanned. You learn that the previous supervisor did not want to create productivity standards until the system had been used for at least a year. The scanners do not even turn in a report of their work each day. It is going to take some time to develop the appropriate productivity standards. In the meantime, you plan to have the scanners report their productivity each day.
1. Use form design principles to develop the productivity report required. 2. What would you recommend to get the scanners caught up in their work? 3. How will you establish productivity standards?
