1. Organization and Management of a Health Care Facility
Your duties at We Care Hospital require you to interface with many different professionals,
including physicians, nurses, and allied professionals in various areas of health care. The
facility also has a new information technology management center, which handles all
patient medical records. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health (HITECH) Act was enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009.The Act called for an unprecedented federal investment in Health Information
Technology (IT). Doctors and hospitals would receive incentive payments through the
Medicare programs and Medicaid to advance the delivery of high-quality healthcare. It was
predicted that a decade later the Act would reduce federal spending on health services by
tens of billions of dollars by increasing efficiency. Review the American Journal of Managed
Care article, Congressional Intent for the HITECH Act. It has been a decade since the HITECH
Act was enacted and you are researching the impact of the Act. You must ensure that the
HITECH Act of 2009 and the HIPAA Act guidelines are being met. You must track legal issues
within the hospital and provide detailed monthly reports on the general functionality of the
health administration department as it relates to breaches in patient record security and
