5th ed. by Dana C. McWay
TO THE INSTRUCTOR
This Instructor’s Manual complements the textbook Legal Aspects of Health Information Management, fifth edition. The textbook closely
follows the 2018 curriculum models established by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) for the
baccalaureate degree (HIA) and associate degree (HIT) programs. The domains, competencies, and curricular guidance for both programs
have been incorporated into the textbook chapters, and instructors may determine the emphasis level of each chapter when teaching
during the semester. A curriculum crosswalk is included for both the programs in each chapter of the Instructor’s Manual.
ORGANIZATION
Lesson Plans: Teaching Exercises, Critical Thinking, and Answer Key for Review Questions and Case Studies
The manual is organized by chapter to optimize lesson planning. A chapter summary provides a concise recap of materials covered in the
textbook. The activities discussed in this manual are designed to deepen the student’s understanding of the material in the text and its
application to their lives, both within and beyond the classroom walls. Each teaching exercise is identified at the beginning with a
corresponding skill level, using the competency levels established by AHIMA and Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Skills as reference
points. The manual addresses the critical thinking exercises found in each chapter of the textbook, providing thoughts for both the student
and instructor to consider when responding to these exercises. The manual also contains the answer key for the review questions located
at the end of each textbook chapter along with thoughts to consider for each case study.
