INTRODUCTION
In this task, you will analyze and resolve duplicates and errors within a master patient index (MPI) in preparation for implementation into a health information exchange (HIE). Additionally, you will evaluate the quality of a data dictionary and create a presentation to summarize your findings.
The purpose of this task is to pull healthcare data, analyze the data, and organize the data into a data dictionary within a database, duties often associated with healthcare analysis and health information management (HIM).
You are a new graduate working at Wizer Hospital as an HIM analyst. You have been asked to compile data into a database for leadership so they can quickly and efficiently pull reports. You have been given an Excel spreadsheet and asked to analyze the data and evaluate a data dictionary. As you are preparing the data, you notice several duplicates and errors within the MPI files that were pulled from the electronic health record (EHR). Ensuring that the data from the MPI files and data dictionary is accurate and that all duplicates are resolved is critical for the facility as they move forward with HIE implementation and interoperability.
A. Refer to the attached “Master Patient Index” to do the following:
1. Identify three duplicate patients.
2. Identify three errors in the data.
B. Refer to the attached “Sample Data Dictionary” supporting document to do the following:
1. Identify three missing elements from the data dictionary.
2. Evaluate whether the data dictionary contains the required elements to meet interoperability standards.
C. Create a presentation about how inaccurate data impacts the ability to share healthcare information with other organizations by doing the following:
1. Summarize your findings from parts A1 and A2.
2. Summarize your findings from parts B1 and B2.
3. Describe a process improvement plan for data entry to ensure patient identification, including the following:
D. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
E. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
