Your HIM department is implementing an EHR system, which requires document imaging (scanning) of dictated reports, H & P, discharge summaries, and OP reports. Scanning began six weeks ago and you have been tracking your employee’s actual production during those first six weeks (see the table below). Using the data in the table calculate an internal benchmark. Evaluate and support how this data can be used to provide feedback to employees and positively impact performance for the next six weeks. Prepare a report for your Vice President outlining the productivity of your “prep team” for their first six weeks and supporting a recommendation for staffing for the next six weeks based on expected performance compared to the internal benchmark and the known workload of 394524 pages to be prepped.

This is a new function for your department and you want to be able to compare your internal productivity benchmark to an external benchmark as you move forward and plan for the staffing for the coming year. Research external productivity standards and guidelines for scanning, two possible sources are listed below.

Utilize the AHIMA article Benchmarking Imaging:Making Every Image Count in Scanning Programs, by Rose Dunn, RHIA, CPA, FACHE, FHFMA, found on the AHIMA website to provide a source for external benchmark and suggested KPI’s as a starting benchmark.

Develop a plan to monitor, evaluate and report on overall scanning productivity overall using key performance indicators (KPI) at, at least three points in the process.( You may use prepping as one or select three new ones). The plan should address how and where each KPI you select can be linked to the workflow and why the KP you select is important to the monitoring and potentially improving productivity.

Prepping Stage

Employee	Actual Production/Number of Pages Prepped	Hours Worked
George	95,850	235
Laura	102, 050	240
Karen	94, 340	240
Average
Stretch Goal: midpoint between the calculated group average and the average of the highest producer.

Assignment 2
Urban Modelling
Within this subject, we have learned (or will learn) several urban models that can be
used to investigate different urban issues (e.g., travel demand and land use patterns).
These models include transport models (e.g., activity-based travel demand model), land
use models, land use and transport interaction (LUTI) models, and agent-based urban
models (e.g., agent-based energy consumption model).
For this assignment, students need to write an essay to review one or more urban
models, as well as their applications.

One specific example for this essay: Activitybased Travel Demand Model and its Applications: A Review.
Note: you may use other titles which can better describe your essay.

The essay should cover the following two topics:
(1) Introduction to the Urban Models Chosen
Describe how the urban models chosen work, for example, using equations and
flowcharts.
(2) Applications of the Urban Models Chosen
Using some specific examples to explain how the chosen urban models have been
applied to solve urban issues.

Students are suggested to review relevant references (e.g., papers and books) before
writing the essay. Please check your citation and reference list very carefully. Your
essay should NOT contain any sentences which are directly copied from references.
Plagiarism will result into a zero mark for the assignment.

References should NOT be counted towards page requirement.
