Paper has been written.  Need to incorporate these things into the paper.  1. Please discuss meaningful use compliance and achievement of incentives with the help of a health information professional. 2.

You may want to address annual salary, meaningful use compliance and incentives, avoidance of penalties, and reduced costs associated with litigation. 3. Please describe the need for a health information management professional and use specific examples to support your recommendations. Think in terms of meaningful use compliance and achievement of incentives for performance. 4. You did a good job describing the skills and training needed by a health information professional including a bachelor’s degree, knowledge of the health care field, and leadership skills. Are there specific certifications that may be required? Is there a minimum number of years of experience required? 5. Your paper is organized and professional. You did a good job of explaining the job requirements of a health information professional but your explanation of the need for a health information professional within the organization is unclear.

Sources cannot be more than  five years old.  Mr. Rader, age 52 years, is undergoing a routine physical examination for his employer. During palpation of the prostate, the physician noted a hard nodule on the gland’s periphery. Lab tests revealed an elevated PSA level. The remainder of the examination did not reveal any other abnormalities. Using the information given, discuss the presentation of cancer of the prostate. Discuss the predisposing factors for prostate cancer and identify the high-risk groups. Discuss the variation in the growth and course of this type of cancer. Discuss how the decision to treat or not to treat is made early in the course of prostate cancer. If metastasis occurs, what additional manifestations will occur, and how will they be treated?

Write a 4–6-page report for a senior leader that communicates your evaluation of current organizational or interprofessional team performance, with respect to prescribed benchmarks set forth by government laws and policies at the local, state, and federal levels. In addition, advocate for ethical action to address benchmark underperformance and explain the potential for improving the overall quality of care and performance, as reflected on a performance dashboard. In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set forth by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks. Your evaluation of dashboard metrics for this assessment is the foundation on which all subsequent assessments are based. Therefore, you must complete this assessment first.–SEE ATTACHED Write a report for a senior leader that communicates your evaluation of current organizational or interprofessional team performance with respect to prescribed benchmarks set forth by government laws and policies at the local, state, and federal levels. In addition, advocate for ethical action to address benchmark underperformance and explain the potential for improving the overall quality of care and performance, as reflected on a performance dashboard. Review the performance dashboard metrics, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Consider the metrics that are falling short of the prescribed benchmarks. Structure your report so that it will be easy for a colleague or supervisor to locate the information they need, and be sure to cite the relevant health care policies or laws when evaluating metric performance against established benchmarks. The report requirements outlined below correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, be sure to note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence. Evaluate dashboard metrics associated with benchmarks set forth by local, state, or federal health care laws or policies. Which metrics are not meeting the benchmark for the organization? What are the local, state, or federal health care policies or laws that establish these benchmarks? What conclusions can you draw from your evaluation? Are there any unknowns, missing information, unanswered questions, or areas of uncertainty where additional information could improve your evaluation? Analyze one challenge that meeting prescribed benchmarks can pose for a heath care organization or interprofessional team. Consider the following examples: Strategic direction. Organizational mission. Resources. Staffing. Financial: Operational and capital funding. Logistical considerations: Physical space. Support services (any ancillary department that gives support to a specific care unit in the organization, such as pharmacy, cleaning services, dietary, et cetera). Cultural diversity in the organization and community. Procedures and processes. Address the following: Why do the challenges you identified contribute, potentially, to benchmark underperformance? What assumptions underlie your conclusions? Evaluate a benchmark underperformance in a heath care organization or interprofessional team that has the potential for greatly improving overall quality or performance. Focus on the benchmark you chose to target for improvement. Which metric is underperforming its benchmark by the greatest degree? Which benchmark underperformance is the most widespread throughout the organization or interprofessional team? Which benchmark affects the greatest number of patients? Which benchmark affects the greatest number of staff? How does this underperformance affect the community that the organization serves? Where is the greatest opportunity to improve the overall quality of care or performance of the organization or interpersonal team and, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes, as you think about the issue and the current poor benchmark outcomes? Advocate for ethical action, directed toward an appropriate group of stakeholders, to address a benchmark underperformance. Who would be an appropriate group of stakeholders to act on improving your identified benchmark metric? Why should the stakeholder group take action? What are some ethical actions the stakeholder group could take that support improved benchmark performance? Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions. Proofread your report, before you submit it, to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your evaluation and analysis. Support main points, assertions, arguments, conclusions, or recommendations with relevant and credible evidence. Be sure to apply correct APA formatting to source citations and references. Example Assessment: SEE ATTACHED Report Format and Length Format your report using APA style  A title page and references page. An abstract is not required. A running head on all pages. Appropriate section headings. Be sure your report should be 4–6 pages in length, not including the title page and references page. Supporting Evidence Cite 4–6 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your analysis of challenges, evaluation of potential for improvement, and your advocacy for ethical action.

Current legal and health care issues (use of medical marijuana, genomics, abortion, etc.) may create ethical and moral issues for the health care organization. Choose and identify an issue that may create ethical and moral issues for a faith-based organization. Examine the mission, vision, values and ethics of a faith-based health care organization and analyze the principles of the health care organization to propose how this organization may stand on a current legal and health care issue (please identify the issue you have chosen). Find at least 2 articles from the library that discuss the controversy of this issue that may be used to support the organization’s stance on this issue. Prepare a 3-4-page position statement or white paper not including title page and reference page that states the position of the health care organization for this issue.
