Healthcare Data Conversions – a Comprehensive Review
Program: Health Information Management Technology Bachelor's Completion
Host Company: Focus Solutions
Location: Wisconsin (remote)
Student: Maddie Schmidt
My project was to create a comprehensive overview of healthcare data conversions, including a patient demographic conversion, appointments conversion, and a clinical data conversion from the perspective of a person who would manage and oversee the completion of these conversion projects. My main goal during this period was to create a resource for a new delivery coordinator to reference as they begin working and managing their own projects. When I started as a delivery coordinator at Focus Solutions, I often found myself wishing I had a resource when I had small questions about the process, steps, or tasks associated with each conversion. I would have to reach out to a peer for any question I had and so I hope this project can aid delivery coordinators in being more independent and confident in their knowledge of healthcare data conversions.
