You have been working as a supervisor in the HIM department for the past 2 years.  An opportunity has come up for you to become the new HIM Director.  The previous Director was terminated for lack of organization and accountability.  You know that the task at hand will be difficult.  The past Joint Commission survey reflects inconsistency issues with documentation, and a very high delinquency rate.  After a lengthy interview with the CFO (whom the HIM Director reports to) and the CEO, you were offered the position as the new HIM Director.  Due to the urgency of the matter, you were immediately assigned the task to put together a team to develop a corrective action plan to resolve the deficiencies identified during the recent JC survey.   

Your task consists of identifying the members of the organization who, you believe, should be assigned to the committee. You will present your recommendations to your boss along with an agenda for the first meeting.   You will also write a memo addressed to the proposed members of the committee informing them that they have been selected to participate in this very important committee. 

For your next meeting with your boss you will present the following:

A report detailing your corrective action plan, which include:

• Selected members of committee and the reason why they were chosen to be part of the committee.

• A memo requesting their participation in the committee

• A well written agenda outlining the topics of discussion

• A proposed meeting schedule 

• The format you will use to take minutes (you are NOT required to take minutes, just to create the form to be used for the minutes)

• Anything else you believe would be necessary for the team to accomplish their task and keep the organization in compliance with regulatory standards.
