Below is a summary of Rob’s electronic health record (EHR) activity during his five days in the hospital. As the medical and health services manager, you are responsible for making sure he receives excellent care. You will also figure Rob’s bills, consisting of his tests, procedures, room charges, supplies and medications. Using his EHRs, Virtual Physical Exam (VPE) and Internet research, fill out the billing statements and be prepared to share this information with the rest of Rob’s healthcare team.

• MHSM – Bill (which includes both a ED and inpatient statement)
• MHSM – Bill Reference
• Rob’s EHR – PCP Chart
• Virtual Physical Exam
• Rob’s EHR – Inpatient Chart (link below)

1. Use the blank copy of Rob’s PCP and Inpatient bills and the Bill Reference to calculate his costs. In his EHRs, look for the number of times a test is administered, number of days a cost is incurred or the units per day a medication is administered. You may need to do additional Internet research.
