Deliverable Length: 400–600 words Details: Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time. Key Assignment: Phase 4 Individual Project As the largest third-party payer in the United States, CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) has a broad, often unspoken influence over many aspects of a health care organization’s decisions and daily activities. In addition, there are external forces that affect the operations of health care organizations such as accreditors, managed care organizations, and so on. Using the library to support your thoughts, write a memo of 400–600 words to the organization’s leaders explaining CMS’s influence on the organization. Give examples. Examples should include how a decision to pick an electronic medical record (EMR) for use in the facility and how much to charge for a service might be influenced by CMS. Identify at least 1 external force and how you believe it influences decisions at health care facilities. How do the government agencies and external forces affect the financial operations of the organization? Remember that this work is to be your own thoughts based on what you know and have learned. You should create a submission that demonstrates your thought and understanding, lightly supported by at least 1 resource from the library. As indicated in the grading rubric (under the Student Expectations button), your ability to think about the material and synthesize the concepts and articulate current or future processes and issues is what is to be graded. .

In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set forth by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks. Maintaining standards and promoting quality in modern health care are crucial, not only for the care of patients but also for the continuing success and financial viability of health care organizations. In the era of health care reform, health care leaders must understand what quality care entails and how quality in health care connects to the standards set forth by relevant federal, state, and local laws and policies. An understanding of relevant benchmarks that result from these laws and policies, and how they relate to quality care and regulatory standards, is also vitally important. Health care is a dynamic, complex, and heavily regulated industry. For this reason, you will be expected to constantly scan the external environment for emerging laws, new regulations, and changing industry standards. You may discover that as new policies are enacted into law, ambiguity in interpretation of various facets of the law may occur. Sometimes, new laws conflict with preexisting laws and regulations, or unexpected implementation issues arise, which may warrant further clarification from lawmakers. Adding partisan politics and social media to the mix can further complicate understanding of the process and buy-in from stakeholders. Instructions Choose one of the following two options for a performance dashboard to use as the basis for your evaluation: Option 1: Dashboard Metrics Evaluation Simulation Use the data presented in the Dashboard and Health Care Benchmark Evaluation multimedia activity as the basis for your evaluation. Note : The writing that you do as part of the simulation could serve as a starting point to build upon for this assessment. Option 2: Actual Dashboard Use an actual dashboard from a professional practice setting for your evaluation. If you decide to use actual dashboard metrics, be sure to add a brief description of the organization and setting that includes: The size of the facility that the dashboard is reporting on. The specific type of care delivery. The population diversity and ethnicity demographics. The socioeconomic level of the population served by the organization. Note : Ensure your data are Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. Do not use any easily identifiable organization or patient information. To complete this assignment: Review the performance dashboard metrics in the Dashboard and Health Care Benchmark Evaluation media simulation, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Consider the metrics that are falling s.

For the Course Project, you are asked to research a healthcare organization, health information functions, and information technology used at this facility. Your report should identify the type of healthcare setting, identify services offered, identify users of health information and their needs, discuss how user needs are met, describe health information functions performed at this organization, and describe at least one information system used in this facility along with the system's functions and role in healthcare delivery. Application of knowledge attained in this class will support your ability to critically analyze your findings, to assess the strengths and weaknesses of this organization's health information technologies, and provide recommendations for improvement as may be appropriate to the situation. This project is valued at 240 points (24% of your grade). Examples of the types of healthcare organization that may be appropriate subjects for this type of project include hospitals, hospital systems, integrated healthcare systems, multispecialty medical clinics, physician practice offices, ambulatory surgical centers, mental health service providers, public health clinics, rehabilitation or long-term care facilities, insurance companies, pharmacies, Urgent care clinics, etc. The organization chosen must be complex enough to offer sufficient challenge and must be realistic in terms of information available at a level needed to complete the project in the required time frame. For example, an assisted living facility that does not make use of information systems would not be appropriate for this project. There is no need to, nor would it be appropriate to access any confidential patient information in order to complete the project. The best learning experience is obtained when you go through a dynamic communication process with people in the chosen healthcare organization. It is preferred that you interview someone who works in health information management (HIM director, coder, someone in the registration area, someone working with health information systems, release of information, billing, etc.); however, interviews with physicians, nurses, or other clinicians or administrative assistants will work, too. Yes, it may take several attempts and different modes of communications to secure an interview but you need to be persistent, proactive, and adaptive in order to achieve your goal: the interview. If your communication attempts and/or completion of the interview fails, you may consider using your own experience in using health information systems, or research AHIMA resources, articles, and case studies available online or library resources. In such cases, reach out to the professor for more guidance. For successful completion of the project, please follow the guidelines below and comply with the criteria listed in the grading rubric for deliverables, organization, grammar, and resourcefulnes ...

6/18/2019 1/5 Week 7 Corporate Compliance, Fraud, and Abuse Fraud and abuse are a threat not only to individual healthcare organizations, but also to the national healthcare system as a whole. In fiscal year 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recovered about $4.7 billion in settlements and judgments from civil cases involving fraud and false claims. Over half of that amount, $2.5 billion, was from cases related to the healthcare industry (DOJ, 2016). Throughout the last decade, the media has often reported on major healthcare scandals. For example, in 2009, 60 Minutes had an episode that described how Medicare was fraudulently billed $60 billion for services or products that were never provided or delivered. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid are required to pay claims within a short time period, either 15 or 30 days. The payment turnaround made it difficult to investigate false claims. However, the DOJ, the FBI, and several state’s attorneys general have taken on investigating these claims. Medicare has taken steps to make enrollment more stringent so that phony companies are less likely to be able to commit fraud in the future (CBS News, 2009). Such cases of fraud cause great harm to the taxpayers, whose dollars go into a public trust to administer two of the largest direct health services programs in the world. However, it’s the smaller cases of fraud that go almost unnoticed and not reported by the media that result in a similar degree of harm to the U.S. healthcare system. Abuse, providing unnecessary services, and overbilling for services are also detrimental to the system of healthcare. As stated in Week 3, cases of fraud and abuse result in both criminal and civil charges. In the face of such large-scale corruption in 1991, the U.S. Sentencing Commission (USSC) adopted guidelines that provided rules and principles for the sentencing of organizations that commit fraud and abuse. Moreover, the Thompson Memorandum, otherwise known as Principles of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations, established guidelines that U.S. attorneys can use in determining whether to bring an enforcement action against an organization (U.S. Sentencing Commission, 2015). These guidelines and principles have been updated in keeping with the changes in the corporate climate, with the latest proposed changes announced in late 2018 (U.S. Department of Justice, 2018). In response, leaders of healthcare organizations began to establish corporate compliance programs to prevent and mitigate the effects of fraud and abuse.

1 2 Financial Statement Analysis Alicia Adelusi Healthcare Operations Management HSA540 Professor Dr, Lousia Ukochovwera October 18th, 2022 Financial Statement Analysis The IT department is responsible for many important functions within Villa Health. It is responsible for maintaining and troubleshooting computer systems, ensuring data security, and providing technological support to hospital staff. As such, it is essential that the IT department run efficiently and effectively in order to best support the hospital's operation. The study examines a health care scenario to assist gain an appreciation for business realities that are not readily reflected in financial statements. Also, it will assist in crafting and explaining a likely operational question relevant for a department of Villa Health. The CFO's question provides an opportunity to review the financial performance of the IT department and consider ways to improve its efficiency and effectiveness. Below are some financial questions that can be asked to assess the IT department's performance and identify potential improvements: What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the IT department? This figure should include all costs associated with running the department, including salaries, benefits, hardware and software expenses. Secondly, how does the IT department's TCO compare to similar departments in other organizations? If the TCO is significantly higher than peer organizations, this could indicate inefficiency or excessive spending. Thirdly, what is the return on investment (ROI) for the IT department? This metric measures how much profit or savings the department generates for the organization as a whole. A high ROI indicates that the department is providing good value for its costs. Fourthly, are there any areas where the IT department could be more efficient? For example, are there duplicate processes or redundant data storage solutions that could be streamlined? Lastly, are there any new technologies or solutions that could help improve the performance of the IT department? For example, cloud-based solutions may offer greater flexibility and scalability than traditional on-premises systems. There are many factors to consider when making decisions about how to allocate resources within a hospital, but one of the most important is the return on investment (ROI) for the IT department. By understanding the ROI for specific IT projects, hospital administrators can make better decisions about which projects are likely to have the greatest impact on patient care and operational success. The ROI for the IT department in Villa Health hospital is important for several reasons. First, IT systems are critical to the daily operations of a hospital, and efficient IT systems can help hospitals run more smoothly. Second, IT systems can help hospitals save money by automating tasks and improving communication between staff members. Third, IT systems can improve patient care by p.

Part I Comparing Accreditation Standards Across Health Care Settings Standards that address appropriate documentation of patient care and effective management of health information can be found among accrediting bodies at each level of health care. While the standards cover the same area, their scope and requirements for compliance can vary widely. Review the standards for authentication (signing) and timeliness of medical record entries for acute care hospitals, ambulatory facilities, long-term care facilities and mental health hospitals. Create a table to compare and contrast the standards, select which accrediting body’s standard you would recommend if only one standard could be applied to all health care delivery systems and support the reason for your selection. where you describe the corresponding standard for each type of facility. Address these at a minimum the “criteria” below in your table: 1. Are there requirements that are the same for each standard? 2. Which clinical staffs are allowed to make entries in the medical record in each type of facility? (e.g. physician, nurse, physician assistant) 3. Which accreditation standards address the use of electronic signatures? 4. Explain how the standards differ in terms of type of the entries that should be authenticated (i.e. consultations, procedure notes, progress notes). 5. How is compliance with each standard to be evaluated (e.g. medical record audit, summary reports)? Part II Transitioning from Conditions of Participation to Joint Commission Standards A healthcare facility is interested in pursuing Joint Commission accreditation. Senior management has asked departments to submit reports about implementation of applicable Joint Commission standards in their areas of responsibility. You are the HIM director who will draft a report for implementation of procedures to comply with standards related to Information Management (IM) and Record of Care, Treatment and Services (RC). Using the terms below do an internet search to locate the standards and Condition of Participation needed. Create a document, spreadsheet or table that compares the COP and Joint Commission standards, and address differences in preparation (e.g. accreditation cycles, resources needed) and training and preparing of staff. The report should also include how compliance is reported to and monitored by the Joint Commission.

In Module One, our first step is to direct our focus on what healthcare reimbursement means and how that meaning will be applied throughout the course. In Module One, you will be provided with explanations of the terminology and methodologies surrounding the cost of healthcare services and, subsequently, how providers of those services are compensated. Reimbursement in a healthcare context refers to the payment that providers and facilities receive for the services that they provide their patients. Providers and facilities include physicians, hospitals, clinics, outpatient rehabilitation centers, home healthcare centers, and other healthcare facilities. Many providers are not-for-profit as opposed to investor-owned. Questions that will be answered in this module include: · What are reimbursement methodologies and how do they impact healthcare organizations? · What are the current trends in healthcare reimbursement? · How might healthcare administrators differentiate between reimbursement methods? · How are financial management principles applied to reimbursement methods? · Who are the key stakeholders surrounding healthcare reimbursement? The answers to these questions will provide you with a better understanding of the background, context, and trends surrounding healthcare reimbursement systems. Further, you will find it helpful to assume the role of a healthcare administrator as you practice what it would be like to assume a management position. Although you will have your own personal opinions based on experiences from a patient perspective, for this course, you will view the assignments through the lens of the healthcare administrator. The administrator is challenged with providing the best care and services to the communities that they serve, while charging a price that is affordable to both the patient and the organization. The administrator must also take into account the various compliance standards and government regulations. Why Study Reimbursement? Healthcare administrators and other health personnel can better meet the needs of their patients, clients, and organization by offering clear guidelines and cost structures concerning healthcare reimbursement. The key stakeholders of healthcare reimbursement systems are patients, healthcare providers, and third-party processors. As such, there are many perspectives to consider when administrators develop strategic plans designed around revenue generation. Many healthcare administrators are involved in contract management decisions and also represent their organizations by negotiating with managed care organizations and third-party payers. The Affordable Care Act is one of the largest pieces of healthcare legislation in our era. The law itself is over 1,000 pages covering funding, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, insurance coverage, health information systems, and reimbursement. Not surprisingly, this has contributed to the increase in employm ...

Long term care. Nursing Home and Subacute Care During the nineteenth and the twentieth century, the term "nursing home" was synonymous with long-term care. Although today the exclusive use of the term "long-term care" is no longer accurate for nursing homes, it continues to remain and will not change easily. However, newer terms such as "nursing facilities" will help clarify the role of specific long-term care organizations and will differentiate them from others in the health care industry. Subacute care is a relatively new but rapidly growing medical service in the continuum of care. Today, it is considered the fastest growing segment of the health care delivery system. Research the online references such as EBSCOhost, SocINDEX, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), or PubMed for information on nursing facilities and subacute units and respond to the following questions: Do you agree with the change in the terminology of nursing homes to nursing facilities? Why or why not? How do the terms relate with each other? What impact does the historical perspective of the nursing home have on the stigma related to the quality of care? How were nursing facilities developed? What have been the consequences of the change in terminology? Do you think the change in terminology will impact the quality of care in the future? If yes, how? If no, why? What changes do you see nursing homes making in the future in order to keep up with the ever changing needs of the demographics of seniors? What are subacute units? How did subacute care emerge? What are the strengths and limitations of the emergence of subacute care in long-term care as related to issues in levels of patients' acuity (various levels of nursing care based on the needs of patients)? Support your answer with relevant examples. What is the impact of subacute care on the cost and quality of care? Do you think subacute care needs to be an integral component of hospitals, or should it be an integral part of the long-term care system? Provide a rationale for your answer. Based on your learning about nursing home care and subacute care, compare their funding, staffing, regulation, and marketing Assignment 2. Long-Term Care Facilities: Services, Successes, and Failures Many services are available to help seniors stay in their homes. These services are increasing in popularity as more seniors are choosing community care over institutionalized care. Two main services that assist seniors in this area are adult day care and home health care. Find out an adult day care and a home health care in your vicinity or using the Internet and create a 1- to 2-page report summarizing their services offered, successes, and failures. Based on the knowledge gained from your research, respond to the following questions: Adult day care programs began more like a social model; however, over time, they have developed as a medical model. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Adult day c.

Denial & Deception – Week 7 Select one of the ‘Questions to Ponder’ as your topic for this week's Forum posting. Original post must be 250+ words. Student responses must be 150+ words. Questions to Ponder Who are the world's leading practitioners of Denial and Deception? How have they developed, or acquired their capabilities? Do they share their capabilities, and if so, with whom? What is the influence of the twenty-four hour news cycle and the internet in Denial and Deception? What role are private companies playing in Denial and Deception proliferation and sophistication? What does the future hold for Denial and Deception operations? Student Response #1 – Harshul Who are the world's leading practitioners of Denial and Deception; How have they developed, or acquired their capabilities; Do they share their capabilities, and if so, with whom; China and Iran are the world's leading practitioners of Denial and Deception. In true Cold War fashion the PRC continues to mislead the international community about its arms build up and its geo-strategic goals in the Far East and South East Asia. Tactically, through the use of conventional forms of deception and “...electronic decoys, infrared decoys, false-target generators and angle reflectors” (Gertz 2008, np) during operations and testing procedures the Chinese have prevented others from gaining insight into their capabilities and intentions. Strategically, as it grows stronger the PRC aims to use all available means to settle territory related disputes with Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan and Japan. Along with their own ingenuity and skill the most important sources for technological tools of deception and denial have come from business transactions with Russia and outright theft from the United States. It has also acquired American technology through our allies such as Israel. China has shared its capabilities with Pakistan, Iran, Syria and North Korea. Iran has certainly practices both functions in order to hide the progress or lack there of concerning its nuclear ambitions. It has also practiced deception in order to intimidate its neighbors and the United States. In 2006 the Iranians had released a video of an allegedly successful missile test to showcase their military capability but after careful analysis “...U.S. intelligence officers analyzed the plume of smoke from the missile and determined it matched a video of an earlier Chinese test” (Barnes 2006, np). The Iranians have developed much of their capabilities with help from China and North Korea and have shred their capabilities with their allies in the region, mainly Syria and Lebanon. References 1.

Demonstration of core knowledge The following section demonstrates the core knowledge that I am qualified to graduate from Mechanical Engineering graduate program. This section will focus on two different fields: · Material properties and Selection · Simulation of processes In Material properties and Selection field, the main concept is to identify the different properties of material to meet the requirement of the design. This is the early step for mechanical engineer to select the material for manufacturing products, which means by obtaining this knowledge I am capable of implementing what I learn to help designing a product for a company. For example, the core knowledge that I obtained in one of my graduate classes can demonstrate this field. The final project of the class, shown in Fig 1., is the standard procedure of early design that will be used for manufacturing industries. The result of the project shows that I am capable of using the trade-off plot which include several factors density, Young’s modulus, yield strength, and cost to identify the material that meet constrains and objectives of the design. Moreover, understanding the definition of each material property and the corresponding limitation. Such as density will affect the mass and volume and yield strength indicates the limit if elastic behavior are the basic and also the requirement of being a master student of mechanical engineering. Fig. 1 Material Selection Trade-off Plot For the second field, Simulation of processes, before any complex or costly manufacturing process. It is indispensable to run the simulation before the actual process. Not only the error can be predicted in the result of the simulation but the overall result of the end product. For example, the casting process for an impeller, a rotor with blades used to increase the pressure and/or flow of a fluid, is challenging and also easy to fail. However, with the help of simulating the process, shown in Fig. 2 &3, the failure of the casting process is able to be predicted by identifying the location of maximum principle, which the growth of the crack will occur in direction perpendicular to, and maximum normal stress, which the failure will occur, to improve the actual casting process and prevent the failure of a process. Fig. 2 Identidy the maximum principle stressFig. 3 Identify the maximun normal stress Both two fields listed above, Material properties and Selection and Simulation of processes, demonstrate the essential core knowledge that I obtained while studying master of mechanical engineering. The first enable me to determine which material is the most suitable for the product, which allow me to work as a design engineer. The latter help me simulate the manufacturing process which can also help me with my future to work as a process engineer. 1 A Guide for Writing a Technical Research Paper Libby Shoop Macalester College, Mathematics and Computer Science Department 1 Introduction .

Democracies Around the World The United States does not have a monopoly on democracy. Democratic governance is flourishing in other nations around the world. Not all democracies are alike, however. Citizens adapt democratic governance to meet their local needs and conform to their cultural mores. The United Kingdom and the United States are held up as leading examples of democratic governance. Both nations are long established and robust, yet each approaches democratic governance differently. The United Kingdom has a parliamentary government, while the United States has a presidential government. Comparing and contrasting different approaches to democratic governance is an excellent way for you to increase your knowledge of how other governments work and at the same time gain new insights into how you are governed in your own country. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the article “Duration of Party Control in Parliamentary and Presidential Governments: A Study of 65 Democracies, 1950 to 1998” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of similarities and differences between parliamentary and presidential governments. Review the article “Economic Development and Democracy” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the comparisons made between development and democracy. Consider how the information in this article might inform a comparison between nations. Peruse the Internet for official government websites of nations around the world. Identify at least two nations, other than your home nation, that have forms of democracy and browse the website for each. Focus on the specific form of democracy that exists in the nations you identified. Consider the similarities and differences between each of the governments and with the United States, paying particular attention to types of governing bodies (i.e., Senate, Parliament, House of Lords) within each government, which bodies are responsible for day-to-day government operations, and which are involved in developing or implementing public policy. Think about similarities and differences between the three countries and then between them and the United States in terms of governance and public policy. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 a brief description of democracy in the nations you selected. Explain the similarities and differences of democracy in this nation(s) with democracy in the United States in terms of governance and public policy. Alternatively, you may explain the similarities and differences of democracy in 2 of the 3 nations you studied. Also, share at least one insight you gained and/or conclusion you drew based on your comparison. .

Deliverable Length: 2-4 pages Consider the facts of the following case when answering the questions below: Dale and Mike Parak were twin brothers and best friends. They spent their entire lives looking out for each other's interests. While growing up, the two were inseparable. They played sports together, double-dated frequently, and attended the same university. They grew closer as they aged, they got married at about the same time, and eventually, both were divorced. After they retired from their jobs, they decided to live together to save money, and they still enjoyed each other's company. When he was 70 years old, Mike was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors predicted that he had about 6 months to live. The brothers agreed that Mike should not suffer. Mike and Dale wrote and signed a note stating that they decided to commit suicide. Dale broke 20 tranquilizers into Mike's evening meal and watched as he ate it. Yet, when Dale checked on Mike one hour later, Mike was still alive. Dale panicked. He took a .38-caliber revolver from his desk and shot Mike, killing him instantly. Dale then went into the kitchen and took a handful of tranquilizers. He did not die. He awoke the next morning as somebody pounded on the front door. It was a neighbor who, seeing that Dale was dazed and confused, decided to call an ambulance and the police. The responding police officer conducted an investigation, and Dale was arrested and charged with the premeditated, 1st-degree murder of Mike. The prosecutor, although noting it to be a difficult case, pursued the case because she thought that no citizen had the right to decide when someone should die. Dale Parak pled guilty to 1st-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 5 years in a maximum-security prison. ( Note: This was the lowest sentence that could be given to a defendant convicted of his crime.) What is your personal definition of “justice”? What is the formal definition of “justice”? Do you believe that “justice” was served in this scenario? What is the state definition of the charge that you would file as the prosecutor against Dale? Did Dale commit each of the components and elements of the crime? The elements for 1st-degree, premeditated murder are 1) the unlawful killing; 2) with malice aforethought; 3) of another human being. Explain how each element was or was not committed. According to the definition of justice you provided, was this sentence just? Why or why not? If you were the prosecutor in this case, would you have charged Dale Parak with any crime? With 1st-degree murder? Why? If you were the judge in this case, how would you have sentenced Dale Parak? Why? Please make sure that you provide academic or real-life samples in criminal justice to support your opinions. NO PLAGIARISM!!!!!! ASSIGNMENT MUST BE DONE IN APA FORMAT.
