...instrumentalities. Procurement Process is used to describe the procedure for the supply of equipment, materials and other resources required to carry out a project/program. It usually involves sub-processes such as sourcing, purchasing, monitoring, quality assurance and contract administration. In most occasions, there is a tendency to fast–track the procurement process to meet project/program schedule. Hence, those involve in the procurement process are subjected to pressures given that they have to carry it out efficiently and effectively. On October 29 and 30, 2009, the selected DOH COBAC Secretariat staff conducted a pilot testing of the Procurement Monitoring Process Tool for the future monitoring activities of the procurement process. The primary intentions of the activity are as follows: 1. To evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the monitoring tools and its process; 2. To assess the institution’s level of implementation of RA 9184; 3. To provide information on the newly issued Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9184; 4. To provide an avenue for an interactive and collective resolution of any procurement concerns. Pilot Site: \ MONITORING PROCESS______________________________________________ The Monitoring Team needs information that would help them assess the over-all procurement process and performance of the DMC and to satisfy the objectives as defined earlier in this report.

...Summary of Findings The Professor felt ill and decided to go home but during the drive he experienced discomfort and in the succeeding hours experienced severe diarrhea and persistent nausea and vomiting. Eventually the nausea ceased but his stomach was still upset. The following day he called Dr. Martin, his primary health care physician. Betty, the doctor’s nurse assisted him over the phone and after the professor explained his condition she told him that Dr. Martin cannot see to him because of his packed schedule. The professor asked for a referral to go to the HealthCheck Clinic but the nurse declined claiming that Dr. Martin is not willing to send him there and was instead prescribed with medicine for the diarrhea. The prescription was placed in the pharmacy for the professor to pick up. Unsatisfied, the professor called up Candy, the director of the Employee Benefits Office, but Wendy picked up and relayed everything to Candy who then expressed her surprise and distress over the situation. She too did not understand that the request for a referral was denied as the professor asked for it. The professor picked up the medicine from the pharmacy, drove home, took a pill, and went to bed. The following day the diarrhea was under control but the gastric discomfort was still a problem. He decided to go to work but in the afternoon he gave up and went home. He called Dr. Martin’s office and once again Betty answered the phone. She informed him that the doctor is out all...

The necessary components of a compliance plan include Code of conduct, policies and procedures, education and training, communication, auditing, corrective action and reporting. The code of conduct is a statement or oath that establishes the intent to perform duties lawfully and ethically. The second component of a plan would include policies and procedures. The policies and procedures for coding would cover items such as how and when to query a physician, acceptable documentation sources, how to rebill a claim, usage of coding guidelines, payer specific issues, and any additional gray areas that may arise in the coding function. Education and training processes must also be outlined in a HIM compliance plan. This would need to identify the number of mandatory CEU’s for each employee, new hire training guidance and requirements, as well as physician and clinical staff educational guidelines and processes. The HIM/Coding compliance plan should also include policies and procedures that address communication, the auditing/monitoring process, any necessary corrective action steps and finally the process for reporting the coding compliance steps that have been followed and any areas identified as risks or any findings of noncompliance. 2.

...1. Scope Validation PMBOD defines project scope as “the work that must be performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions.” Scope management is to ensure enough and only enough work is successfully delivered with projects purpose.1 The first stage of project scope management is collecting requirements and defining scope. Then a work breakdown structure (WBS) will be created. WBS is a hierarchical breakdown of the project into its constituent deliverables.2 Thus it can be used for the following scope validation, which is reviewing any project outputs or deliverables and accept them as complete; confirming stakeholder acceptance. Scope validation should include the formal review, approval and sing-off on the accuracy of scope or deliverables. This process is to avoid incomplete or inaccurate scope and to ensure buy-in from stakeholders.3 During the implementation stage of this project, the scope validation will mainly involve stakeholders of Program Office and clinical staff. 2. Stakeholder Management The 4 major stakeholders are Central IT policy group (ITPG), Central Program Office, International Health Care Systems (IHCS) and 4 selected hospital, as well as clinical staffs in these hospital. ITPG is responsible for supervising each region to obtain benefits of common infrastructure and services.
