As HIM Director at your local hospital you are responsible for planning and implementing changes within the department. Give a memo to the hospital’s Compliance Officer outlining three of the current OIG Work Plan areas for your inpatient facility to focus on during the year. For instance, if one of the areas in the OIG Work Plan is auditing Emergency Department (ED) Evaluation & Management (E/M) codes, then you will want to alert the Compliance Officer and conduct an audit of your facility’s current E/M ED coding and billing practices to be certain your facility is in compliance. Submit your memo outlining your three Work Plan areas.
