This manual is for MHA FPX 5016 Assessment 2, start to submission. This assessment asks you to create a job description for a health information management or information systems role the organization needs, such as a health information manager, together with a summary for leadership explaining why the role is needed, what problems it will solve, and its financial impact. The grade turns on fit. A job description copied from a template scores lower than one whose duties answer the specific information problems you identified for this organization. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as MHA-FPX5016, and some courserooms print MHA5016; both point to this same Assessment 2. In current courserooms this assessment typically appears as "Information System Job Description and Summary".
One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.
How MHA FPX 5016 Assessment 2 is scored
FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:
| Level | What it means on a job description and summary |
|---|---|
| Distinguished | The summary links the role to the organization's documented information needs, the financial impact is estimated, and the job description has specific duties, skills, education and experience that match those needs and current professional standards. |
| Proficient | Both parts are complete, but duties are generic or the financial impact is vague. |
| Basic | The job description is templated with little connection to the organization. |
| Non-performance | The summary, the financial impact or a part of the job description is missing. |
Build on the issues you identified in Assessment 1. Each major duty in the job description should answer one of them.

The five mistakes that cost Distinguished
- A template job description. Tie duties to this organization's needs.
- No financial impact. Estimate costs and benefits.
- Vague duties. Make each duty specific and measurable.
- Credentials that do not fit. Match qualifications to the duties.
- Missing summary. Leadership needs the case before the description.
