B-Tag Auditing Summary

Within that internal audit, they pulled a patients bill and medical records and traced everything back to make sure orders, charges and within that they found one discharge summary and psych evaluation that were missing diagnosis on both documents.

    Being hired as a new administrator for Gotham City Medical Center which mainly focus on mental health issues comes with a host of task. The inpatient and outpatient services are housed in separate buildings on the same campus which caused problems by the center during file recording. After an audit conducted by the New York State Office of Mental Heath several findings were highlighted that concerned them. The two primary findings which were patients notes were written once a week which tells me that the therapist did not record any individual notes at all. The second finding was that sign-in sheets were present for those who attended but no notes on their daily progress and visits were recorded in their records. Also patient mental health information was shared with the media which is unethical. As a new administrator, I would be entering into a setting where unethical activities are occurring, overwhelmed staffs and improper handling of patient files.

Dr. Bales is trying to seek more reimbursement for services he did not provide which is considered theft. The collections office is in charge of sending invoices to insurances companies for reimbursement, which solidify their involvement in the fraudulent actions even if they are unaware. In the event which the insurance companies discover these fraudulent charges, the collections office may face legal repercussions for their participation.…

    As a future Health Information Management Professional, I feel the hospital made several mistakes and discriminated against their medical staff. First, the Board of Directors should have checked National Practitioner Data Bank to review Dr. Arafiles medical performance. In chapter 16, on page 469, National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) is defined as “information clearing house”,which provides information on “the professional competence, final adverse action taken, and conduct of physicians, dentist, and other healthcare practitioners (Brodnik, Rinehart-Thompson, & Reynolds, 2013).” Second, they should not have hired Dr. Arafiles when they discovered he had a restriction on his license. Although the hospital was fully aware of the fact that…
