Assignment Data Integration Standards
Instruction:
Imagine you are an HIM Compliance Manager for a large hospital system, and you are responsible for the integration new clinical data into your existing electronic health record (EHR). During your research of clinical process modeling, you learned about how healthcare data sets and dictionaries are used in the hospital settings. For example, hospitals utilize the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) which is considered a core data set for hospital reporting. The UHDDS contains a data dictionary where the principle diagnosis, a data element, is defined along with its allowable value, an ICD-9-CM code. Based on your knowledge, create a data integration strategy that will ensuredata are in a format that will satisfy the hospital’s integration needs.
Requirements:
Your data integration strategy should be 7 -8 pages in length (excluding the cover and reference pages) and cover all of the following elements:
1. Ensure the standardization of data dictionaries to meet the needs of the enterprise.
2. Demonstrate applicable clinical data standards theory and development.
3. Ensure data are in a format that will satisfy data integration needs:
o Interoperability
o Decision support
o Legacy systems
4. Describe clinical data and clinical process modeling:
o UML-Unified Modeling Language
o UP-Unified Process
This case study is practice for the unit Assignment. Work through and discuss this as a group.
Imagine you are an HIM Compliance Manager for a large hospital system, and you are responsible for the integration new clinical data into your existing electronic health record (EHR).
