INSTRUCTIONS

For this assessment, you are a senior data analyst with Vila Health. A friend who teaches health information management courses at a local university has asked to you present information on standards development organizations (SDOs) to a health information management student group.

As part of your presentation, you will give students two handouts.

Handout Number One

The first handout will include a table with information on at least three standards development organizations (SDOs). Please use the attached document to complete all of the following in your table:

  • Describe each SDO’s purpose.
  • List the type of standards developed by the SDO.
  • Describe the data to which the standard applies.
  • Explain why these data standards are important in interpreting health care data.
  • Describe how the standards can be used to standardize data for quality-improvement initiatives.
  • Provide for each SDO an example of using data standardization in a quality improvement initiative.
  • List the type of data points and classification that may apply to the SDO, based on the description of the data to which the standard applies. For example: The National Council for Prescription and Drug Programs would likely set standards for the data point of medications. You may choose from these data points:
    • Identification number.
    • Name.
    • Address.
    • Telephone number.
    • Date of birth.
    • Gender.
    • Height.
    • Weight.
    • Admission date.
    • Diagnoses.
    • Medications.
    • Medication dosage.
    • Medication frequency.
Handout Number Two

You second handout will consist of a one-page narrative that summarizes your findings about standards development organizations.
