Safeguarding Bank Assets with an Early Warning SystemCognizant
The recent global financial crisis underscored the impact of non-performing assets and caused banks' overhead to soar. An automated early warning system (EWS) can help these institutions avoid the risk of problem loans, better protect their assets and reduce the effects of delinquent payments.

Claims-Made Policies May Cover Claims Submitted Outside the Reporting Period.
As a rule, liability insurance policies contain a condition requiring timely notice of a claim against the insured, so that the insurer has an opportunity to adequately investigate and defend the claim. A recurring issue is what happens when notice is not timely. Does the insured lose coverage, automatically, or only when the insurer is prejudiced by the late notice?
The answer can vary depending on what state’s law applies – in Wisconsin, this issue is seemingly answered not as much by policy language or case law but by two different statutes, Wis. Stat. §§ 631.81 and 632.26, each of which expressly states than an insured loses coverage only where the insurer is “prejudiced” by late notice.

Experience, Expertise, and Preparation: Keys to a Successful Workers' Compensation Fraud Investigation by Stacey Golden (from FC&S Legal: The Insurance Coverage Law Information Center)
Unfortunately, workers’ compensation fraud has been on the rise. The poor state of the U.S. economy is certainly a
factor with the associated mortgage meltdown and government cutbacks. Even rising student debt in this environment is placing pressure on young people. Equally unfortunate for those who see fraud as a solution to their challenges, many consider it easy money and are simply clueless to the potential consequences. There are also plenty of examples of sophisticated cases that require careful and persistent digging.

WELL VISIT CODING AND BILLING
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you directly pay any portion of your child’s health care costs (co-pay, deductible, HSA, etc), then it is
important to have a general understanding of medical coding and billing. It’s a confusing, boring area but
Kidz1st offers the following explanations and examples to help you understand your potential financial
responsibilities.
What are medical billing codes?
Medical billing codes started in the late 1970s and were originally called Healthcare Common Procedure
Coding System (HCPCS) Level 1 codes. In the mid-1990’s, the core set of codes were further expanded
and refined and became known as Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, codes. CPT codes are a
standardized, numerical coding system that defines every possible service, procedure, test, product, and
device that can be provided in the delivery of health care. The codes fill an 800 page book! A small subset
of CPT codes, called Evaluation and Management, or E/M, codes are used to define office visits.
Why do we need CPT codes?
Consistency in the definitions of what is performed, documented, and billed has two purposes:
1) To make sure that there is adequate and consistent payment to health care providers
2) To minimize the chance of fraud by providers and insurance companies.
What do CPT E/M codes tell us?
CPT E/M codes tell us what is typically done at office visits or the “typical resources” needed. Resources
include office expenses, provider training/skills/experience, performing the history and physical exam,
decision making complexity and risk, coordination of care, evaluating outside records, counseling, and
time. E/M codes are divided into codes for well visits and codes for acute, chronic, and follow-up visits.
Who determines which CPT codes to use for an office visit?
The health care provider who performs the services is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the codes
billed. Larger offices may employ professional coders. It’s actually a good field to go into! However,
Kidz1st does not delegate this very important responsibility. We believe that the person who actually did
the work, the health care provider, has the best knowledge of what was actually done. So we train our
providers in the gory details of coding. And we do detailed, daily internal auditing so that patients and
insurers alike can be confident that we provide the most accurate coding possible.
Why would I want to know about billing codes?
With the country’s economic woes, we are seeing a rapidly spreading trend of employers shifting more
health care expenses, both premiums and direct costs, to employees. Ignorance may be bliss when
someone else is paying the bills but if you are paying, all of this coding information becomes relevant.
So what is included in a “typical” acute visit?
For acute, chronic, and follow-up visits, increasing levels of resources required.

Healthcare is the #1 most targeted industry and the widest array of cyber attacker behaviors. For as much effort as organizations put into locking down systems and patching applications, the number one way that systems are compromised is an attacker convincing a user to give up information for free and phishing is the primary way that they do that. Phishing does not rely just on subterfuge; it relies heavily on psychology.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
