You are the director of the Health Information Management Department at Memorial Hospital.

You are the director of the Health Information Management Department at Memorial Hospital.  You have been in the position for two years, and at the time of your hire there was a transcription supervisor, a coding supervisor and a second-shift supervisor who oversees both second and third shift employees in place.  Recently, the transcription supervisor retired, and a replacement was hired, Amanda.  Amanda is scheduled to start in two weeks.  You reviewed the department policy and procedure manual and discovered that while there is an orientation procedure for all hourly positions within the department, there is no orientation procedure for supervisors.  The transcription area consists of two on-site employees who transcribe all radiology and pathology reports and a data clerk who is responsible for distributing reports to the EHR as well as distributing copies to their correct locations.  The remainder of the transcriptionists (20 FTEs) are remote employees of the hospital. There is no outsourced transcription. 

Creating a checklist (minimum of 8-10 items) that can be used to orient the new transcription supervisor. (8 points)

There must be evidence of both department and individual orientation

It is not necessary to have a narrative explanation for the checklist.
