Communicating Organizational Structure and Purpose- 2 Part

Organizations can be very complex entities. Some of the factors which have an impact on the degree of complexity include:

• the number of distinct locations/facilities being operated
• the distance between locations/facilities
• the number of departments/services within the organization
• the number of employees and executives in the organization

There a variety of documents which organizations develop in an effort to clearly communicate their organizational structure and purpose; among them are: Organizational Chart, Mission Statement, Objectives, and Philosophy.

Part 1 – Create an Organizational Chart

Imagine you are employed in the HIM department of a large acute care facility. Your department manager has noticed that the current facility’s organizational chart is outdated and has asked you to develop a new one to distribute.

Use the departments and reporting lines outlined below to develop an organizational chart showing the spans of control.

The CFO, CIO, and CMO, Risk Management and Human Resources Director report directly to the CEO/Administrator. The HIM Department, Admissions, and Billing Office report directly to the CFO. The nursing department, medical services, and utilization review report to the CMO. The IT Department reports directly to the CIO.
