Comparing  performance is a common business strategy, including those among  healthcare facilities. You are Regional Director for a Healthcare System  that includes two hospitals, several clinics, and a long-term care  facility. You have been asked to evaluate hospital comparison data and  develop a dashboard to benchmark aspects of the coding function for  internal and national standards. The information is used by HIM managers  and coding supervisors across the network. HIM works closely with  reimbursement and revenue, so you may include data on length of stay,  accounts receivable, DRGs, or case mix index as part of your dashboard  presentation.

Coding Data

  • Research national inpatient and outpatient coding standards from AHIMA body of knowledge and other resources.
  • Compare the various aspects of the standards.
  • Create a coding dashboard based on the standards. 
    • The  dashboard should contain at least three different coding aspects. The  data can be qualitative or quantitative, for inpatient or outpatient  coding.
    • You  should include at least two graphs to help create your dashboard. Use MS  Excel to create the graphs. Include actual data within tables to create  a good graphical display.

 

  • Visuals and graphs of hospital data and coding data – as your dashboard.
  • For  each graph, provide a summary (at least 2 paragraphs) to explain what  the information reflects, and why it is a valuable tool for HIM services  and managers.
  • Evaluate the use of benchmarking and comparative data.
  • Based  on your interpretation of the hospital and coding data results, what  are your predictions or assumptions about the data.   
  • Evaluate the report using various statistical methods.
  • Justify your interpretation based on the summary of data and references.
  • Recommend  how you intend to use the data for making decisions for HIM managers  and coding supervisors across the hospital system.
  • Provide a summary of your references.
