INTRODUCTION
Health information management (HIM) professionals may be responsible for managing policies and processes in order to ensure organizational readiness for accreditation, licensing, and certification processes. HIM professionals must have a thorough understanding of accreditation processes and know where to locate information when it is needed.

SCENARIO
As the chart completion supervisor for Cedar Bend Hospital, you have an upcoming meeting with the HIM director and the chief medical officer regarding history and physical (H&P) documentation compliance. Cedar Bend is doing a system update of its electronic health record (EHR), and there are new design capabilities with regard to how history and physical assessments are documented in the hospital. There are concerns that stakeholders have ideas of how the new EHR system should function with regard to history and physical documentation, but that there is a lack of understanding as to the applicable regulatory requirements. The purpose of the meeting is to make sure the policy and procedure that address history and physical documentation are both current with regard to The Joint Commission (TJC) and state requirements.

REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.



A. Create a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote) (suggested length of 8–16 slides) for your HIM director and chief medical officer (CMO) to summarize your analysis of history and physical (H&P) documentation compliance. Include presenter notes for each slide (suggested length of 1–2 paragraphs of notes per slide).



Note: Please base your analysis of state regulations on the current state in which you live. If your state does not have specific regulations, you may choose another state that does. Use information provided in the “State Regulations” attachment and “The Joint Commission Standards Interpretation” web link for your analysis. Other sources can be used as well.



1.  Include a title slide that presents your name and the state in which you reside or the state you have chosen to base your analysis on.

2.  Include a slide with a table that lists the similarities between The Joint Commission (TJC) standards and your chosen state’s regulations regarding history and physical (H&P) documentation requirements.

4.  Include at least one slide that justifies to your HIM director and CMO the importance of including social and personal history documentation in the EHR.

5.  Include at least one slide that shows The Joint Commission standards’ required time frames to complete the history and physical (H&P) documentation with regard to standard medical admissions, readmissions, and surgical admissions.

6.  Include at least one slide that shows the importance of documenting the patient’s chief complaint as part of the medical history.

7.  Include at least one slide that shows a list of recommendations for your EHR system to comply with both sets of standards.

PLEASE NOTE:  DR. SCHLOBOTNIK AND THE MIRACLE MEMORY DRUG DO NOT EXIST!  I MADE THEM BOTH UP FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS ASSIGNMENT! 

The Paper:  Distinguishing Science from Pseudoscience

  Dr. Schlobotnik has recently invented a revolutionary new pill called MMD, or the “Miracle Memory Drug”, a drug that that supposedly helps to improve memory.  According to the web site, “the drug consists of a unique blend of fish oils, electrolytes, and “memory enhancing proteins” that, when taken, “vastly improves the memory of the user”.  Users are instructed to take the drug four times a day in order to improve memory retrieval.  Dr. Schlobotnik claims that “…the drug unlocks our memory potential by attaching to neural receptors in the cerebellum, boosting the electrical output of the brain, which in turn stimulates memory.  It’s like jump starting your brain!”.  

Testimonials from users on his web site claim that, after using the drug, their study skills increased and their forgetfulness decreased dramatically.  Some users reported having vivid memories from early childhood after using the drug.  Some users even report having memories of being in a dark and muffled place, which Dr. Schlobotnik claims “…may actually be prenatal memories from the womb.”

At the bottom of his web site is section called “Frequently Asked Questions about the Miracle Memory Drug”.  The first question asks:  “I have used the drug as instructed, but I have not had an improvement in memory.  Why?”  The respond reads “Since the drug works by creating  electricity in the brain, some factors may influence the individual effectiveness of your results, including 1) where you are located on the globe,  2) whether there are electrical wires or cell phone towers close to your location, or 3) a diet rich in salt or iron.

Assignment:

Step 1:  Read the section on pseudoscience in Chapter 1 of your textbook.  It also helps if you can read Chapter 6 for more information about memory.  In addition, read the following article online:

Coker , R. (2001).  Distinguishing science from pseudoscience.  https://quackwatch.org/related/pseudo/ (Links to an external site.)

Step 2:  Write a MINIMUM 1200 word essay that answers ALL of the following questions.

Based on the contents of the Miracle Memory Drug web site, what evidence do you have that Dr. Schlobotnik’s miracle memory drug is based on pseudoscience?
If Dr. Schlobotnik wanted to show that his drug was based on science, what evidence would he have to provide? As part of your answer, set up an experiment to test the drug’s effectiveness.  What would be the independent variable and the dependent variable?  What types of groups would he use for his experiment?  What would he do with the results?
If Dr. Schlobotnik’s miracle memory drug is, in fact, based on pseudoscience, what might account for people’s vivid memory improvement?
So let me give you some quick words of advice on writing the paper:

PLEASE DOUBLE SPACE YOUR RESPONSE!  
I DO NOT NEED THIS IN ESSAY FORMAT.  I don't need an intro paragraph, conclusion etc.  In fact if you just want to write 1) and answer Question 1, then 2) etc, I am down with that.  If I have to fish around for your answers, I will get frustrated, and you don't want me frustrated when I am grading your paper
Do not cut and paste the entire question as part of the answer.  The question itself is 423 words long.  Don't just cut and paste the entire thing  and think that you are a third of the way done.
For Question #1, make sure to include terms from the textbook and the article and provide specific examples from the question itself.  So, for example, you might say "In the textbook, it says that pseudoscience used testimonials instead of actual research.  On the Miracle Memory Drug website..."  (Remember, there is no MMD or Dr. Schlobotnik or website, just the description of the web site in the question itself).
For Question #2, you need to set up an experiment to test whether the drug works or not.  Be specific regarding the steps that you would take, what the independent and dependent variables might be, the groups you would set up etc.  Also, what would Dr. Schlobotnik have to do AFTER he finished conducting his experiment?
For Question #3, give a few explanations as to why people might be claiming vivid memory improvements if the drug doesn't work?  Specifically, go to Chapter 1 and look at how scientists try to determine whether people's response to drugs is based on the drug itself or some other factor.  Also, look in Chapter 6 and how memory is created, stored and retrieved
