Management Q&A: July 14, 2008
You are a coder II at Get Well Hospital.
Yesterday, your close family friend and co-worker Betty, who has a known history of heart problems, had a heart attack in the middle of work and dropped to the ground!
You immediately called the emergency room (ER) and her family and then rushed down to the ER to wait for them to arrive.
You ended up staying there late into the night as Betty's condition deteriorated.
The last you heard at 4 a.m., she had fallen into a coma.The next day you stop in the HIM department only to be bombarded with questions asking if Betty is OK.
How much information can you share with your co-workers about last night and about Betty's status?
