Course Project – Instructions & AcknowledgementFor the Course Project, you will be completing five deliverables:part 1. Creation of a Project Charter Templatepart 2. Creation of Project Teampart 3. Creation of GANTT Chartpart 4. Completion of Project CharterProject Scope and Instructions:The transition to ICD-10 has had a substantial impact on the industry, and the HIM department for your health care organization, Davenport Community Hospital, has experienced a chronic shortage of qualified coders. To alleviate this problem the department is proposing the implementation of a home-based coding system.The project is an individual course project where students will work independently to complete the course project deliverables.There are a few articles in the Journal of American Health Information Management Association that can be used as a reference for this exercise.These articles provide background information that can assist in preparing the exercise documents. Shearer, J. Remote coding at home: Tips for success. Journal of American Health Information Management Association 72(2):6265. Dougherty, M., and R.A. Scichilone. Practice brief: Establishing a telecommuting or home-based employee program. Journal of American Health Information Management Association 73(7):72AL.SummaryCommunity Hospital, like many healthcare organizations, is experiencing a shortage of qualified coders. Over the past three years, the vacancy rate for coders has been 2025%. With more than $2.7 million billed on a daily basis, this vacancy level has the potential to result in an increase in accounts receivables. Several past initiatives have attempted to resolve this issue without any success. These include outsourcing backlogged work, and paying out $50,000 in retention bonuses and more than $6,000 in recruitment bonuses. Based on published best practices in the HIM field, we believe that the establishment of a home-based coding system will solve our coder vacancy problem. Deliverables:Research and Create a Project Charter TemplateFor this step you will be researching, creating and submitting a Project Charter template in week 2 that will be reviewed and approved for you to use to complete your final project charter on. There are many formats and types of project charters available for use. You can research different format types via the WWW, or you can create your own template for use. Be sure to use the criteria from deliverable #4 as a basis to create your own template, or to revise a template that you located elsewhere so that the template is indicative of the required elements as listed below.Ethical considerations. Include a list of ethical considerations that could impact the project. Identify mitigating factors to the ethical considerations that could prevent, or offer solutions to ethical issues that could arise in the project. Include this in the format of a table within the charter.The project risks. For each risk, indicate the probability factor, the impact factor, and the contingency plan. Be sure to include both legal and ethical risks to the project.The project objectives, deliverables, high-level project activities, assumptions and constraints, an estimated project schedule, and estimated project costs.A roles and responsibilities document that includes the project organizational structure.A project task list. For each task, indicate the task predecessor(s), the resources assigned to work on the task, and the estimated work effort for each resource. This should be all inclusive of the tasks/deliverables you will need to complete for the project. This information will also help you formulate your GANTT Chart.
