Fifty percent of an HIM department’s staff have a nationally recognized credential. This is an example of what type of indicator: A. Structure B. Process C. Outcome D. Internal

A. Structure

Explanation:

Structure Indicators provide information about the ability and capacity of a Health care provider to be able to give health care services that are of high quality.

They focus on the processes the Health Care provider uses, the systems in place and their capacity to provide certain types of care.

Some indicators include; How many providers do they have versus the number of patients they have and the number of certified physicians that they have.

Having a HIM department with 50% of staff accredited is therefore a Structure indicator.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
