Develop an 8–12 slide PowerPoint presentation accompanied by an audio recording of the presentation that is a maximum 15 minutes. The presentation will focus on an explanation of Meaningful Use Guidelines and how the current HIM system could be optimized to ensure compliance and improved outcomes. Scenario In this scenario, you will assume the role of Quality Assurance Manager at Vila Health’s Independence Medical Center. You have been asked to review the current electronic health record (EHR) system after some concerns were raised about the system not being fully compliant with new regulations and Meaningful Use Guidelines. After your review, you will present your findings and recommendations to the leadership team. Preparation Review the Vila Health: Analysis of an EHR System media simulation and the information provided in the Resources section to learn more about the Vila Health organization. Before reviewing the EHR system, you will want to familiarize yourself with Meaningful Use Guidelines. Take a moment to review these sources and conduct an additional research as needed on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) incentive program from EHR: Meaningful Use provided in the Resources section. Next, review the Vila Health EHR system. While analyzing the EHR, you will want to think about not only the flow of data, how it moves through the system, and compliance with Meaningful Use Guidelines, but also about the patient experience and implications on quality of care. Consider privacy and security of patient records as well. Vila Health: Analysis of an EHR System Instructions To complete this assessment, you will prepare an 8–12 slide PowerPoint presentation of best practices and emerging models in HIM and EHRs. Your presentation will be assessed using the following criteria: Explain Meaningful Use Guidelines and what they mean to an organization's current state of compliance. Explain an organization's current electronic health record system and its data process to meet regulatory guidelines. Analyze how an electronic health record system could improve the quality of care, simplify existing processes, and improve patient outcomes. Explain best practices for an organization to maintain meaningful use compliance as it relates to current incentive programs and policies. Recommend evidence-based approaches for implementing new practices for the end user functions, training, and ongoing compliance. Communicate analysis and recommendations of an electronic health records system in a manner that is clear and concise. Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style. Below is one potential outline for the presentation that could help you to address the assessments grading criteria.

Widget's, Inc., a fictional company, has a flourishing lawncare business. The business has two full-time employees who have been with the company for five years. All employees are trained on using the lawn equipment and have signed a waiver-of-liability contract limiting liability for the company. The owner, Brian, told his employees not to worry—that the company would protect them if they got hurt. One employee, Lori, was on the job cutting a lawn. Lori was riding a mower, a Ferrari 2000, which was three years old and in good working condition. The step-up on the mower had writing on it with a warning sticker that read, "Replace the sandpaper liner for traction every three years due to normal wear and tear." It was replaced every three years. Lori stepped down off the rider, slipped because of moisture from the grass, and severed her pinky toe on the mower blade.When she fell to the ground, the mower continued through the grass and proceeded by itself to cut and mulch a neighbor's prize roses. Peta, the neighbor, was preparing for a rose competition with a potential grand prize of $10,000.Write a 2-3 page paper answering the questions below. Remember to identify and explain the law and then justify your answers to the questions pursuant to the scenario: Pursuant to contract law, is the waiver of liability legal and do Brian’s verbal assurances become part of the contract? Why or why not? Does Peta have a product liability case against the mower manufacturer Ferrari for a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure-to-warn defect? Does Lori have a claim for her injuries and can she recover pain and suffering damages or worker’s compensation?
