How to get a good grade on this assignment:

Have a separate box for each person in the organization.

Make sure the vertical lines show the correct reporting relationships. Note on p$.656$ how the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Clinical Officer report to the CEO. Also, note how all the staff members under the Chief Clinical Officer report. Do not include any diagonal lines on the chart.

Do not have one person reporting to another person with the same job title. For example, do not have one coder reporting to another coder. Also, do not have one release of information technician report to another release of information technician.
