FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Enterprise Fund I. Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost savings of approximately $590.50, and pension costs of $3,029.21.
BACKGROUND:
In July of 2012, the Health Services Department implemented an electronic health record system (ccLink), which has changed the staffing needs of the Pittsburg Health Information Management (HIM) unit. Some duties such as pulling, transporting and duplicating medical records are no longer needed since these processes are now automated through the ccLink system. Although there has been a decrease in clerical duties, the automated process has created additional steps for Medical Records Technician authorizations for medical releases of information. Therefore, the Health Services Department is requesting to cancel two clerical positions and add one Medical Records Technician position in the Pittsburg HIM unit.
