Week 4 Assignment Review
Discussion Board Example
Investigate clinical decision support applications and provide a summary of at least two of the applications that you find. Please provide facts about each of the applications and answer the following questions:
What does the application do?
How does the application help the user?
VisualDx is a unique clinical decision support system that delivers diagnostic answers where and when physicians need them.
Scenario: Imagine that you are the Director of Health Information for a large hospital. As Director, you sit on various institution-wide committees which govern the organization’s policies. You have seen issues arise that cause you to propose changes in policies, procedures and operations across the hospital. Therefore, you have decided to create a proposal to the CEO and Board of Directors, which you will develop in collaboration with committee teams.
Unit 4 Assignment Breakdown
Task #1: Evaluate, implement and manage electronic applications/systems for clinical classification and coding.
Select two (2) applications/systems for clinical classification and coding (e.g., encoders, computer assisted coding (CAC), etc.) and
Appraise each vendor in terms of:
capacity to evaluate quality coding practices;
possible implementation considerations/issues; and
systems management challenges and training needs
Provide support for one (1) system that you find as the “best option“
explain why this is the best option.

Task #2: Evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic and procedural coding.
Consider the principles and applications of classification systems (e.g., ICD-10, HCPCS) and medical record auditing used within a clinical documentation improvement (CDI) program. Appraise the value and challenges of a quality CDI program by:
defending the need for ongoing CDI program support; and
critique at least three (3) challenges in the CDI process.
Make connections between auditing, accurate diagnostic and procedural coding with classification systems, and CDI programs
Your executive summary should reflect upon the need for CDI and best practices for ensuring compliance.
