Write a report to the director of health information management (HIM) that analyzes current quality improvement initiatives (see check-marked initiatives in the scenario) at Fielder Medical Center by doing the following: 1. Summarize three quality improvement initiatives at Fielder Medical Center and justify why the initiatives are necessary to the center. For this rubric, you will select three of the Quality Improvement (QI) projects being done at Fielder Medical Center, and summarize them in your own words, also adding why you believe they are necessary/ important to Fielder.
2. Evaluate whether each of the three quality improvement initiatives at Fielder Medical Center comply with their internal organizational processes. There is information in the summaries given to you that discuss Fielder’s internal processes: use that to provide your opinions.
3. Evaluate whether Fielder Medical Center’s three quality improvement initiatives comply with applicable standards established by federal external agencies. For this rubric, be sure to use federal agencies, not non-governmental such as Joint Commission.
4. Evaluate how Fielder Medical Center’s three quality improvement initiatives are in compliance with the necessary federal and state legal requirements.

B. Discuss how HIM professionals play a significant role in the quality and patient safety initiatives at Western View Hospital. Your perspective here is from the scenario hospital you work in, which is located in Colorado.
