Read the information below, then complete the designated tasks with your team. Millennium Health, managed by Dr. Johnson and Dr. Diaz, requires a modern information system to support both current operations and future growth. The system should replace existing paper-based and legacy systems. Dr. Johnson provided an overview of the staff and business processes, which include Sheila Logan, the office manager, and support staff such as Fred Brown, Ricky Flemming, Aisha Fox, Zane Ricardo, Deb Baldwin, Min-ji Park, and Clare Kline. Based on this information, you are tasked with creating a comprehensive business profile including an organization chart, identifying six key business processes with responsible staff, describing your chosen systems development method including its advantages and disadvantages, and listing team member contributions along with meeting details.

Business Profile for Millennium Health

Millennium Health is a thriving medical practice managed by experienced clinicians Dr. Johnson and Dr. Diaz. The practice employs a diverse team of administrative and support staff dedicated to delivering quality patient care and efficient management of health information and business operations. The staff hierarchy is structured to facilitate smooth workflow and clear lines of responsibility. The organizational structure places Sheila Logan as the office manager overseeing various specialized staff. Under her supervision, Fred Brown manages human resources and employee benefits, with Ricky Flemming responsible for payroll, tax reporting, and profit sharing. Aisha Fox handles patient medical records maintenance, ensuring accurate and confidential record keeping. Zane Ricardo manages accounts receivable, ensuring timely payments. Deb Baldwin takes charge of insurance billing, enabling smooth reimbursement processes. Min-ji Park coordinates appointments, including reminder calls and daily scheduling, while Clare Kline oversees the procurement and management of office and medical supplies.

Using this information, an organization chart can be created in Microsoft Word by selecting the Smart Art feature under the Insert tab, choosing an Organization Chart layout. The chart should depict Sheila Logan at the top, with branches leading to Fred Brown, Ricky Flemming, Aisha Fox, Zane Ricardo, Deb Baldwin, Min-ji Park, and Clare Kline, illustrating the reporting structure.

Six Business Processes and Responsible Personnel

  1. Patient Registration and Medical Records Management: Responsible staff – Aisha Fox. This process includes patient check-in, medical history intake, and maintaining accurate health records.
  2. Appointment Scheduling and Reminders: Responsible staff – Min-ji Park. She manages the scheduling system, sends reminders, and prepares daily appointment lists.
  3. Billing and Insurance Claims Processing: Responsible staff – Deb Baldwin. She handles insurance claims, billing, and patient invoicing.
  4. Accounts Receivable Management: Responsible staff – Zane Ricardo. This involves collecting payments and managing outstanding balances.
  5. Payroll, Tax Reporting, and Profit Sharing: Responsible staff – Ricky Flemming. Ensures accurate financial reporting and distribution of profits.
  6. Human Resources and Benefits Administration: Responsible staff – Fred Brown. Manages employee records, benefits, and HR policies.

Systems Development Method

The planned approach for creating the information system at Millennium Health will adopt the Agile development method. Agile emphasizes iterative development, stakeholder collaboration, and flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. It involves breaking the project into small, manageable modules that are developed and tested in cycles, allowing for continuous feedback and improvement.

Advantages of Agile include enhanced stakeholder engagement, improved flexibility to accommodate evolving needs, and faster delivery of functional components. It fosters collaboration among team members and end-users, leading to a more user-centric system.

Disadvantages of Agile include potential scope creep due to evolving requirements, challenges in managing project timelines, and dependency on active stakeholder participation. It may also be less suitable for projects with fixed or well-defined requirements or where comprehensive documentation is essential.

Overall, Agile is suitable for Millennium Health as it allows the system to evolve alongside the clinic's operational needs, ensuring the final product remains relevant and efficient.
