The nurse manager is meeting with the director of human resources to review information about current clinical staff. How does the clinical decision support system support human resource functions?
A) Determining if staff are correctly coding client care procedures
B) Identifying staff who are incorrectly charging for resources used for client care
C) Recognizing staff who are not discharging clients according to identified lengths of stay
D) Evaluating the number of staff with licensure due to expire
Answer: D
Human resource departments can benefit from computerization by tracking personnel within the healthcare system. Professional licenses and credentials expire and must be renewed. It would be a daunting task to keep track of this information manually for a large facility that employs thousands of healthcare professionals. A computerized system can monitor license expiration and when recredentialing of a provider is required. Coding and charging for resources would be used by the billing department. Information about client discharges according to identified lengths of stay would be used in a utilization review.
