Every week during this class, you will be working with a group to complete a group assignment. Each week there will be a different assignment with different requirements.

In order to receive credit for the group project, students must have demonstrated participation in the project. Participation is measured by the group discussion board, group file exchanges, and recorded group collaborate sessions. Individual assignments will not be accepted.

The facility still has paper records, but chart requests, disclosure management, dictation systems, chart locators, MPI and chart deficiencies are all computerized.

1. Create a policy and procedure which outlines how the department would operate if all of these systems went down for an extended period of time. (Hint: use a policy and procedure template).
2. Create a policy and procedure which outlines how the department would operate if one of these systems went down. You need to create six different policies and procedures here – one for each system. (Hint: Use a policy and procedure template).
3. Submit all seven policies and procedures for grading.
