HIM Manager:  Assignment 3: answer questions real world case 4.1; At least one page; cite textbook and or other sources; please textbook below

 

Real-World Case 4.1

The hospital clinical documentation improvement (CDI) specialist reports to you, the HIM manager of Anywhere hospital, that the hospital has been receiving reimbursement penalties. The physician documentation is not appropriately identifying specific conditions that CMS has identified as hospital-acquired conditions (HACs). In most cases, these conditions are present in patients before they are admitted. However, physicians are documenting these conditions later in the patients’ stays, making it appear that the patients have ­acquired these conditions from the hospital. The hospital is being financially penalized because these conditions are considered to be preventable if the hospital follows national treatment standards and guidelines.

 

Anywhere hospital has a robust EHR. Many ­documentation improvement initiatives have been leveraged by the technological capabilities of the EHR. As the HIM manager, you wonder if something could be done from a technology standpoint that could assist physicians with identifying, upon admission, those conditions that are causing the reimbursement issue, and appropriately documenting the conditions. Physicians appropriately capturing and documenting these conditions would demonstrate that the hospital is following the national treatment standards and guidelines and the patients are not acquiring these conditions in the hospital.

 

You assemble a multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians, revenue cycle representatives, HIM, and information systems representation.

 

Real-World Case 4.1

 

Why do you think that CMS picked these conditions?

 

What is the benefit of developing an EMR solution for this issue?

 

 

How does the adherence to the treatment guidelines for the prevention of the conditions identified as hospital-acquired relate to other pay-for-performance initiatives?

Visual Analysis Infographic:

Assignment: Visual Analysis Infographic Due: Wednesday, September 14, 2022 by 11:59pm CST 100 points

A visual analysis is a close inspection of the artist’s use of art elements and design principles. A visual analysis moves beyond pure description. It is intended to enhance your observational and analytical skills, asking you to think critically about the choices that an artist makes. You will explain how an artist uses line, color, texture, space, emphasis, balance, proportion, and so forth, to create a unique composition. You will want to provide a detailed description of the formal (meaning “related to the form”) characteristics of the artistic composition. Remember you’re not just describing what you see, you’re describing what these elements do in the work.

Some things to consider in your analysis:

• Line: Are there any prominent lines in the work? Do you see psychological or implied lines? If so, do they serve any compositional purpose? Is line used to create a contour of an object or exist in its own right? Are the lines mostly horizontal, vertical, or diagonal? What do they suggest?

• Shape: What shapes do you see? Are they geometric? organic? biomorphic? Are there well-defined figure and ground shapes? Is shape a prominent aspect of the work?

• Mass: Does this work have real or implied mass? Where do you see this in the work? What indicates mass?

• Light: How is light used in the work? is there real or implied light? What are the values like? Do the values span white to black? Is the image relatively light or dark?

• Color: What types of colors are used? Are they warm or cool, bright or dull? Are they natural or arbitrary? Are the colors organized to lead your eye in a particular direction? Is color used to create space? What is the overall effect of color?

• Space: Is implied space created? If so, which pictorial devices are used to render the illusion of three dimensions on the two-dimensional plane. Does the artist use linear perspective, atmospheric perspective, vertical placement, overlapping, etc.? Are line and color used to create the illusion of mass or volume?

• Texture: Is there actual texture (impasto) or implied texture? Can you see the artist’s brushstrokes? Or, is the artist’s hand totally concealed? What is the overall effect of texture?

• Time and motion: Is there an implied time of day/year/era in history? Do you see implied movement or real movement? What is the effect of these elements to how we see the work?

• Design: How are the formal elements organized? What is the focal point of this composition? Describe how the artist creates emphasis in this work and

 

 

why your eye moves to this area of interest. Is the work symmetrical or asymmetrical?

Do not try to explain the subject, interpret the meaning, or judge the quality of the work. Instead, think about what you see. As you write your analysis, remember that the goal is to sharpen your visual literacy skills. You want to focus on the formal elements and design principles the artist used to create the composition (not on the meaning of the work). The Infographic: Choose one of the 4 images provided in the Infographic Images folder, under the Visual Formal Analysis folder. Design an infographic that highlights 4-6 main visual characteristics of your chosen artwork. Focus on the ones that are most prominent in the work. Your infographic should include the image with artist’s name and information. All information should be concise, grammatically correct, and easy to read. The information should be organized well. Think of this assignment as designing an informational poster for a conference. Your poster should be well designed and informative. Making the Infographic I recommend using a free, online image editing program such as Canva, Pixlr, Venngage, or Prezi. All have offered template options in the past (though these change frequently). I encourage you to put your own stamp on your infographic to make it fully your own (instead of relying 100% on the template). Please see options listed in Infographic Options, under the Visual Formal Analysis folder. Your infographic must be uploaded as a PDF.

Group Therapy Demonstrations:

Group therapy can alleviate feelings of isolation and foster a supportive and collaborative environment for sharing difficult feelings in order to facilitate healing. For many people, being part of a group that has a shared understanding of a struggle provides a unique opportunity to gain an understanding of their own experiences.

As you examine one of the group therapy demonstrations from this week’s Learning Resources, consider the role and efficacy of the leader and the reasons that specific therapeutic techniques were selected.

Democratic Presidential Nominee

Democratic Presidential Nominee

https://geniusproessays.com/

Democratic Presidential Nominee: Last year, when Joe Biden cemented his status as the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee, his work on the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act became the subject of deserved—if somewhat belated—criticism. While the intervening years have revealed it to be a highly problematic piece of legislation, those of us who were alive at the time remember the early 1990s as an era during which anxiety over violent crime seemed to be at an all-time high. Even worse, many criminologists at the time had predicted that things would only get worse.

 

The long-promised crime wave, however, never materialized. On the contrary, data would later reveal that violent crime began to decline in 1990 and plummeted throughout the decade. Here’s the thing, though: no one knows exactly why. Just about everyone in politics, law enforcement, and/or corrections has tried to take credit at one point or another, but none of their explanations match up with the data. Not all of the data, anyway.

 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it (as if you had a choice), is to use what you learned from the chapter on causality and experimental design to evaluate two possible explanations.

 

The first possible explanation comes from Kevin Drum, a writer at the magazine Mother Jones. Although Drum is by no means a social scientist, he does a decent job of articulating the work of a handful of legitimate criminologists.

 

The second possible explanation comes from Stephen D. Leavitt, author of Freakonomics, among other things. For the record, I have a love/hate relationship with Leavitt’s work. His research ranges from laughable to offensive, but he does such a good job of explaining his methods that I can’t help but refer to his work in at least two of my classes. Also, you should note that this piece, which was first published in 1997, has not aged well. Just to give you an idea of how much the world has changed in the interim, Rudy Guiliani was still considered a respectable politician when it initially hit shelves. Anyhow, I left some sarcastic notes in the margins, which you may or may not find helpful.

Your Assignment

 

After reading Drum’s article and the chapter from Leavitt’s book, you will write three blurbs, each of which should be approximately 250-500 words (yielding a total of about 750-1500 words). In the first blurb, you will use the criteria outlined in the textbook chapter to evaluate the extent to which Drum succeeds in establishing a causal relationship between lead and crime rates (6 points). In the second blurb, you will use those same criteria to evaluate the extent to which Leavitt succeeds in establishing a causal relationship between abortion in crime rates (6 points). Finally, in the third blurb, you will offer your opinion as to whether Drum or Leavitt makes the better case (8 points). The content of this third blurb should be based on the criteria necessary for establishing causality between two variables, not how you feel about one or both of the writers (or, for example, leaded gasoline).

Social Media in Business

https://geniusproessays.com/

Social Media in Business:

There are two parts to this week’s assignment:

· Part A – Introduce yourself (just follow the directions listed below).

· Part B – Selection of 4 businesses/organizations for future assignments (Follow the directions in the worksheet below).

Social Media in Business

Assignment 1 Part B, Worksheet

Please “Save As” this file and include your name in the file name before you upload to Moodle.

 

DIRECTIONS

Throughout this course, some of your assignments will require you to apply what you learn to an example organization or business. Since social media can be different depending on the type of organization/business, your assignments will require you to do various exercises related to these four primary types of organizations:

· B2C (Business-to-consumer) – companies that sell to individual purchasers who buy and consume products/services for personal use.

· B2B (Business-to-Business) – companies that sell to other businesses or entities that use the products/services as part of daily business operations, or to create a final product they sell to consumers.

· Non-profit organization not operated by a government entity – organizations that generate funds, but use what they earn for some type of philanthropic, humanitarian, social or charitable purpose.

· Government agency or group – an entity that provides oversight and administration of specific functions as outlined by its government and is operated by its government. This can be at any level such as in the United States, it could be at a city, state or federal level.

 

The assignment for this week is to choose one business or organization for each of the four categories listed above. As you go through this course, certain assignments will ask you to apply what you learned to each of your chosen businesses. Because you will be working in context of your four organizations, I suggest you choose ones that you are interested in, since these organizations will be the base of several of your future assignments. A few things to note when making your selections:

· Once you choose these for businesses/organizations, you CANNOT change them.

· If your B2C company also serves the B2B market, you CANNOT use the same company for both categories. Please choose two different companies

 

Use the form on the next page to provide the names of your selected organizations and some basic background information.

 

If you need further clarification on whether your choice fits the category, refer to the last section of your weekly guide, or reach out to me with questions.

Staff Productivity:

Please start each discussion board posting with your name (Jane Doe). Your initial original post must be a minimum of 300 words and submitted by 11:30 pm on the indicated due date in the course calendar. Your responses to classmates’ posts must be a minimum of 150 words each and be submitted by 11:30 pm on the indicated due date in the course calendar. Also, keep in mind the grading criteria included in the Grading Rubric.  Your reply post must provide something new to the conversation rather than simply expressing agreement with the original author.

Assignment:

A high-volume warehouse has over 100 order pickers. The company requires supervisors to track staff productivity to ensure that employees “make rate” or pack a minimum number of boxes per hour.  The system in use automatically tracks each staff member’s productivity by recording the time each box is finished packing when the staff member scans the barcode on the box.  The system automatically generates warnings that are routed to the employee when productivity falls below a set threshold as well as termination suggestions.  The bottom 5% of employees are automatically placed on a training plan.  Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the warnings and terminations are accurate and appropriate action is taken such as reprimands, additional training, or termination activities.  The company has highlighted its high productivity and efficiency as a key differentiator in company success. The company has communicated its strict standards more widely. “Associates must be detailed and efficient in processing each order.”  To ensure that efficiency continues, the company has developed “a proprietary productivity metric.” The company says those goals are set objectively, and that they’re based on metrics like customer demand and location.

Do you believe this automated productivity tracking system is overall positive or negative?  Clearly state and explain your opinion. Back up your opinion with evidence.

You make take either position from either the company leadership, line-level leadership, or worker perspective.

You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

Business Proposal

Business Proposal

https://geniusproessays.com/

Business Proposal:

Your assignment for this unit is to create a proposal to garner support from partners in your family business. You are an up-and-coming manager in your family business, which is run by older family members who are sometimes stuck in a small business mentality. You have an idea that you feel can take the business international and greatly increase sales. In order to do so, you need to create and present a proposal to get support and funding for your new company venture.Choose a name for your company and a product that interests you. For instance, if you are interested in fashion, come up with a fashion company name and a name for your new product. Do some basic research on your target market, and choose how you want to go international (e.g., exporting, licensing, joint venture, direct investment). Think of the project as if you are pitching your idea at a board meeting.This is not a formal business plan where you need 10 pages of facts and figures. Instead, this is a proposal where you are trying to get buy-in from other family members in the business. Accordingly, create a PowerPoint presentation with at least 10 slides to present your proposal. Make it visually appealing by including at least two images, charts, or visuals.Include the following components in your presentation.

  • Describe the type of business product or service.
  • Explain the business objective of the international venture. What is the need?
  • Analyze and describe your target market for the international expansion.
  • Explain the dominant cultural characteristics in the region where you want to expand. Explain your chosen method of going international. Show options for finding new customers, distributors, production facilities, and/or partners.
  • Describe training and knowledge needs for the international venture. How will you prepare managers for intercultural management in a new region?

Your completed PowerPoint must be at least 10 slides in length, not including the title and reference slides. You are required to use at least three outside sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. While a simple Google search of a country or region will turn up articles, remember that you must use reliable sources for your assignment. In addition to the library, government sites are good places to gather information about different countries. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.
