Project and Change Management

/in /by

For this written assignment, you are the Coding Supervisor at ABC Hospital and Clinics. Your staff consists of five coders who code inpatient, outpatient, and the professional fees for a variety of physicians in a variety of specialties.

Recently the number of patient encounters has increased causing your coders to not meet the required turnaround time for their coding duties. After much research, you have decided to turn to CAC (Computer Assisted Coding) to help meet your goals.

Hospitals have reported that CAC has increased coder productivity by more than 20 percent, decreased coder overtime by as much as 80 percent, and decreased external audit fees as much as 50 percent.
