Case Study: Health Information Management You are the HIM Director of Lakeside Hospital that is a Critical Care Access Hospital. The HIM Department has two coders, two release of information technicians, an office secretary, two document scanning clerks, and two HIM analysts. The CEO informed you that they would like to look at outsourcing the Release of Information area to a vendor.

You would like to gain your employees input as far as pros and cons in outsourcing the ROI area. Because you value their opinions and would like to bring the consensus of the team back to the CEO, you will be adding this topic to the next meeting.

Every Monday you hold a Huddle Meeting and go over metrics for each area, challenges, and other hospital matters.

Apply the consensus-oriented decision-making model (CODM) to gather opinions from the team.

Every week, you prepare an agenda to discuss.

Prepare a professional-looking HIM Huddle agenda.
