Subject: Recommendation Report for Employment Need Changes in the Health Information Management Department with Electronic Medical Records
I have attached the recommendation report that I have completed for our facility. There are some issues that need to be taken care of as we implement electronic medical records in our hospital. We will need to decide what employees to eliminate in the Health Information Management department.
To decide how to go about this I did some research. I looked at what employees should be doing if they are trying to keep their jobs to show that their job is important to them, and I also looked at what skills we need to look at for employees once we implement electronic medical records. I then researched how other facilities chose to eliminate employees or positions.
Based on everything I researched, I recommend that we only eliminate those that work solely with paper charts right now. Everyone else we should wait on until we start the training for the electronic medical record system. That way we can see who has the ability to learn the new system and also the willingness to learn. Those are the kinds of employees that we want to keep.
I appreciate you reading this and I hope you take my recommendation into serious consideration. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at extension 82091.
