Compliance Report

For your final assessment, you will create a monthly compliance report for a clinic in order to identify deficiencies in the coding process. These deficiencies will
inform necessary education or technology recommendations.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
 Evaluate the efficiency of coding policies for their implications on employee training
 Assess healthcare documentation by utilizing industry standard technology for its relevance in the auditing and meaningful use reporting processes
 Recommend workflow policy adjustments for improving technology processes
 Evaluate electronic health record systems through audits and reporting for information placement and system updates
 Analyze ethical violations for maintaining compliance with healthcare rules and regulations
Prompt
As the compliance manager of SNHU Medical Clinic, it is your responsibility to identify any deficiencies in the coding process for the encounters in the clinic. You
will select encounters to be audited to determine the percentage of charts that are documented accurately when comparing the documentation to the selected
code(s). This achieved rate will be recorded and reported back to the provider. If this rate is less than the agreed percentage, the provider will receive education
from your department on the identified deficiencies. A monthly report will be provided to the appropriate compliance departments or director of the
department.
Your monthly compliance report should answer the following prompt: What issues have been identified as needing improvement either in the form of education
or technology improvement to meet the goals for the SNHU Medical Clinic?
