Instructions Park Health System is experiencing a
shortage of coders. Over the past five years, there has been a 40% vacancy
rate for coders throughout the main hospital and satellite clinics within the
healthcare system. The backlog and vacant positions has created an issue
related to unbilled revenue, overworked coders and extended work hours and
schedules. It is estimated that there is an annual loss of $10 million. It
has also been communicated that many of the qualified coders that were
offered a position, declined because they are interested in working from
home. To address the problem, the health information management department is
proposing that there be an implementation of a home-based coding system. This
concept is feasible, given that Sidney Park Health System utilizes an
electronic health record and all patient information is available
electronically. You have been assigned as the project manager. You are
responsible for developing a project proposal to recommend a vendor/system to
resolve the issues for Park Health System. The proposal is the document used
to present the project to organizational leaders, executive management and
other stakeholders. Task 1: Project Scope

assignment). Complete the following project proposal sections:
