PART II (80 POINTS): Case Study

Objectives

Evaluate job tasks performed by two distinct coding positions applying two methods of job analysis

Research current literature for an appropriate job title for a new, combined coding position or job description

Instructions

Review the following case study and answer the questions posed within the scenario by writing a two-page paper that contains a comprehensive new job title, identifies two job analysis tools, and explains how the tools will assist in development of a new job description for the new job title.

Scenario

Consider the position of coding specialist at University Hospital, which currently is comprised of two distinct coding positions or job descriptionsinpatient coding specialist and outpatient coding specialist. As the coding supervisor, you have been asked to conduct a job analysis that will be used to determine the need to create one coding position with a new job title. In other words, the two current coding positions will be combined into one position and the job role will have a completely new name.

Research a job title reflective of todays coding market. All coders will perform inpatient, outpatient, and emergency room coding.

Select two methods of job analysis to collect primary and secondary data on this proposed new position. For each method, explain why the method was selected and describe how the methods will be applied to analyze the coding positions. The purpose of this assignment is not to create an entirely new job description but rather outline the new job title and the methods used to perform an analysis on the job tasks performed in a combined position. Please provide references to support your response.

Assumptions

The duties for each job description will be combined into a single job description

The title will reflect the job role and position within the HIM department

Job analysis tools will be assessed for appropriateness

Deliverable

A four-page double-spaced paper using font size 12 should contain the following:

(Page 1 is your title page; Pages 2 & 3 is your response; Page 4 is your Works Cited)

New (combined) job title and two paragraphs describing why this title was selected

Selection of two job analysis tools and an explanation of how these tools will be used to collect information to assess the combination of the job tasks

Four references as additional research may be required to complete this paper. Add references to a Works Cited page (3^rd page; after your first two pages)
