Part I Comparing Accreditation Standards Across Health Care SettingsStandards that address appropriate documentation of patient care and effective management of health information can be found among accrediting bodies at each level of health care. While the standards cover the same area, their scope and requirements for compliance can vary widely.Review the standards for authentication (signing) and timeliness of medical record entries for acute care hospitals, ambulatory facilities, long-term care facilities and mental health hospitals. Create a table to compare and contrast the standards, select which accrediting body’s standard you would recommend if only one standard could be applied to all health care delivery systems and support the reason for your selection. where you describe the corresponding standard for each type of facility. Address these at a minimum the “criteria” below in your table:Are there requirements that are the same for each standard?Which clinical staffs are allowed to make entries in the medical record in each type of facility? (e.g. physician, nurse, physician assistant)Which accreditation standards address the use of electronic signatures?Explain how the standards differ in terms of type of the entries that should be authenticated (i.e. consultations, procedure notes, progress notes).How is compliance with each standard to be evaluated (e.g. medical record audit, summary reports)?Part II Transitioning from Conditions of Participation to Joint Commission StandardsA healthcare facility is interested in pursuing Joint Commission accreditation. Senior management has asked departments to submit reports about implementation of applicable Joint Commission standards in their areas of responsibility. You are the HIM director who will draft a report for implementation of procedures to comply with standards related to Information Management (IM) and Record of Care, Treatment and Services (RC). Using the terms below do an internet search to locate the standards and Condition of Participation needed. Create a document, spreadsheet or table that compares the COP and Joint Commission standards, and address differences in preparation (e.g. accreditation cycles, resources needed) and training and preparing of staff. The report should also include how compliance is reported to and monitored by the Joint Commission.Joint Commission Standard IMJoint Commission Standard RCConditions of Participation 42 CFR 482.24 Medical Record ServicesSubmit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below.

DUE: 11.29.14(This Saturday) @ 11:59PMIn this Assignment, through the development of pilot studies and contingency plans, youwill engage in developing the following professional competencies:● Write an action planThe Implement phase is the phase where all the designed and developed processimprovements are executed. The execution of the implementation can make or break aproject, regardless of its perfection in design.

Explain how you wouldexecute this strategy for the Supporting business process.Question 2 – Test and Pilot StudiesBased on the discussion in step 7(see attachments below), describe how you would do a test or a pilot study before you go into full implementation in your project. Include the following elements:● The objective of the pilot study (what specific element are you testing in yourrevised process).● The scope (who will be involved, what will they do and how long).● How the results will be used.Question 3 – Contingency PlansBased on the discussion in step 9(see attachment below), discuss a back-out or a contingency plan that youwould adopt if your implementation does not go as expected. Include the followingelements:● What would be the specific issue that may cause problems in the implementation ofyour revised process?● What would be the plan of action for handling this issue?Assignment Requirements:>Cover page, “Discussion”(3 COMPLETE pp.), and Reference page=5 COMPLETE pages.(Nothing less then 5 pages!)>Analyze the pros and cons of all four implementation strategies and select the best fit.>Describe a test or pilot study.>Develop a back-out or a contingency plan.>Responses must demonstrate critical thinking and analysis and exhibit application of information.>Clear business writing: Spelling and grammar are acceptable.
