Based on the textbook and other readings, develop a staff development training plan and presentation on a coding compliance plan for your coding department. (You should be familiar with these from previous modules!) Your HIM Director has asked you to give a presentation to the coding staff during the hour long monthly education meeting that you hold regularly. Make sure to consider internal and external coding requirements, regulations and guidelines. Your project should include a detailed outline of your training and a PowerPoint presentation.
Make sure to consider and include the following in your presentation:
- What are the findings of the audit?
- What implementations need to be done due to audit findings?
- Propsed recommendations after learning the findings of the audit?
