Create a new org chart that is a logical and effective way to organize the full staff .Research organizational charts used in healthcare organizations.

For this assignment, there are 2 parts, combined into one assignment submission.

Part 1
Research organizational charts used in healthcare organizations. For example, see the org charts for Johns Hopkins: https://www.google.com/search?sa=X&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=johns+hopkins+organizational+chart&client=firefox-b-1-d&ved=2ahUKEwjWiZKrtc_qAhWQVN8KHVZhBuYQsAR6BAgBEAE&biw=1366&bih=604

Now, assume the managing physician asked you to make a new organization chart containing all of the current staff that includes the managing physician, practice administrator, medical secretary, an office manager who oversees 2 coder/billers, a medical scribe, a medical receptionist, and a medical records clerk. The current practice also includes an ARNP clinical supervisor who oversees a PA, RN, 2 clinical medical assistants, and a radiology technician. The new org chart should include a full-service laboratory with a lab technologist and three lab technicians plus an imaging center for which they’ll hire a radiologist  and 3 more radiology technicians.

Create a new org chart that is a logical and effective way to organize the full staff . Consider that although the managing physician is responsible for any clinical aspects of all of the physicians, it is common for physicians to report to a practice administrator for all non-clinical aspects of their job . Use your own judgment – there is more than one acceptable way to do this assignment but it must be logical and effective as far as which positions report to the same supervisor and who reports to the practice administrator directly.
