Information System Job Description and Summary

Develop a 12 page job description for a Health Information professional that is accompanied by a 23-page executive summary, summarizing the position and advocating to leadership for the need of it.

For this assessment, you will create two deliverables. First, create a 23-page executive summary that summarizes the need for the position; this will be presented to leadership prior to posting the job description and advertising it to potential candidates. Second, create a 12-page job description detailing the position of health information professional that you want to hire.

The executive summary’s purpose is to present a clear case for the need of the health information professional’s position to be hired. You should support this need with evidence from your analysis that you completed in this course’s first assessment. The executive summary will be assessed with the following scoring guide criteria:

Explain an organization’s need for a health information professional to ensure long-term meaningful use and current incentive program compliance.
Analyze the potential financial impacts of hiring a new health information professional.
In other words, what will it cost to hire and employ the new health information professional versus the potential costs incurred by failing meaningful use compliance, or failing to achieve incentives from current programs?
Support hiring need and recommendations with specific evidence to encourage buy-in from leadership.
The job-description will allow you to layout the desired skills and responsibilities for the health information professional. It should include a minimum and a preferred education, experience, and training requirement. The job description will be assessed with the following scoring guide criteria:

Describe specific job functions of a new health information professional.
Explain the skills and training needed by a new health information professional to be successful in a position.

Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.
