The ICD-10-CM coding manual

The ICD-10-CM coding manual teaches coders step-by-step how to process and find the correct code, it helps the coder to locate the code in the official indexes and verify the code in the tabular. The ICD-10-CM coding manual also follows conventions, guidelines, and instructional notes. There are 10 steps to correctly coding they are as follows: identify the reason for the patient visit, after identifying reason for visit, consult the alphabetic index, locate the main term entry, scan subterm entries, pay close attention to index instructions, choose a potential code and locate it in the tabular list, read all instructional material in the tabular section, consult the official ICD-10-CM conventions and guidelines, confirm and assign the code, and sequence codes correctly.

When selecting the ICD-10-CM codes from the alphabetic index and tabular list there are guidelines for specific diagnoses and/or any condition. The guidelines are to be applied to all healthcare settings unless there is another stated. Instructional notes such as “and,” “includes,” “see also,” etc. mean that the initial diagnosis can also include something else or that there may be another explain for it.

Two methods I would use to build good coding habits is to break down the steps into terms I could easily remember, and practice using them for conditions that are most often seen in a health care setting. My biggest challenge with the codes would be remembering which step goes when. I plan to overcome this by learning each step and relating them to something I am familiar with just as I did in high school math. We used “please excuse my dear aunt sally” to remember “parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction,”(PEMDAS) in order to solve math problems. If the instructional notes and guidelines are not followed correctly it could result in the misdiagnosis of a patient.

 

What would be a good potential negative impact of not using the guidelines to select a code?

Strength Training and the Effects of Creatine Dietary Supplements

This week we are being asked to Develop a statement of the problem for your research topic. The topic I’ve chosen is ‘Strength Training and the Effects of Creatine Dietary Supplements.’  What would a statement of the problem be on this topic? I’m just confused as I don’t think my topic has a problem or am not sure where to start in finding that problem

Health care administration

Why are you taking the Health care administration program and how your strength(like- coach, strategist, problem-solving, philomath, and storytelling) listed here will help in achieving your goals after graduation? 2. How is ethics in the health care administration program going to help you in your role in health care administration? Please answer this question in a detail

Telehealth technology

Reflect on the utility of telehealth. Use a credible source e.g. County Health Rankings Links to an external site., a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) report for your county, etc., to identify one health problem in your community that telehealth may help to improve. In your discussion, include the following:

  1. Define one health problem in your community
  2. Describe the vulnerable population or population at-risk in relation to the identified health problem
  3. Discuss how specific telehealth technology or technologies may be applicable to improve the identified health problem, and integrate a Health and Wellness Perspective
  4. Discuss at least one consideration for healthcare professionals (as related to your responses above)

What do you think is the most important priority in health care reform?

What criteria should be used to evaluate health care reform? For example, a new healthcare policy could be assessed on how much it reduces cost or increases access. What do you think is the most important priority in health care reform? Why? Use n text citation and reference list.

Political polarization

What is partisan sorting? Why it is significant? Partisan sorting is an effect in politics in which voters sort themselves into parties that match their ideology. Partisan sorting is distinct from political polarization, which is where partisans subscribe to increasingly extreme positions. A partisan is a committed member of a political party or army. In multi-party systems, the term is used for persons who strongly support their party’s policies and are reluctant to compromise with political opponents.

Unintended variables that affect the dependent variable

The independent variable is the one the researcher controls. For example, resilience would be the independent variable in the above scenario. Some study participants would receive coping strategies from the experimenters, while others would be instructed to do nothing.

The dependent variable is the variable that the experimenter measures. For example, the burnout rate would be the dependent variable. Unintended variables that affect the dependent variable are referred to as confounding variables. It might be challenging to separate the implications of the independent variable from those of the confounding variable or their combined effects.

For instance, COVID is a pervasive stressor that affects almost all aspects of our social, psychological, and physical well-being.  Nurses may become ill as a result of COVID, and due to staff shortages, nurses can become fatigued, increasing the risk of burnout. In addition, nurses have witnessed traumatic deaths at work, and the damage could be accumulating due to a lack of debriefing services, which eventually results in burnout. How would you control this particular confounding variable in this scenario?

Engagement in the political system

It is proven that Americans vote much less often and in lower numbers than citizens in other parts of the developed world. What accounts for this lack of engagement in the political system? What effect could this have on democracy as a whole? Propose some changes that could boost voter participation in the United States.

Types of bargaining in the negotiation

There is lots of excitement in the air. Your construction company Elite Constructions has won an exclusive contract for a major construction project. Your company had spent six months trying to win the contract and along with financial benefits, it will bring many future opportunities if the work is done within the timeframe and budget. To ensure the project meets its commitments including the deadline, a project leader is required. Two supervisors are keen to lead the project – Chris and Sam. Both have excellent experience in managing projects and both would suit the role. Shane the managing director was pleased to hear that both Chris and Sam were keen to take on the project and have asked them to decide who should manage the exclusive project.

Thinking about the scenario above, what type of bargaining does it involve? Justify your decision. Next, explain with examples how the negotiation can include both types of bargaining. Lastly, outline two reasons why it would be beneficial for both Chris and Sam and Elite Constructions to involve both types of bargaining in the negotiation. (worth up to 12.5 marks).
