Using the 8-bit 2\'s complement binary number system, perform the following addition and subtraction problems Clearly indicate how you checked for an overflow condition and the result of that check. Solution 2. 10100010 (16210) + 01111001 (12110) 100011011 (2710) In the above addition there is a carry of 1. As you have only 8 bits, 162 + 121 = 283 which requires a total of 9 bits cannot be stored here and an overflow occurs. 10100010 (16210) - 01111001 (-12110) Now converting 01111001 to 2\'s complement: 10000110 + 1 = 10000111. Now summation: 10100010 + 10000111 = 100101001 In the above subtraction, there is a carry of 1, which can be ignored. And after ignoring the carry bit, the value is: 00101001 = 4110..

Physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs), collectively known as advanced practice providers (APPs), play a vital role in healthcare across various specialties. Their responsibilities, including billing for clinical and procedural services, have evolved significantly. In particular, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented substantial changes to split/shared billing policies, impacting APPs and physicians treating patients collaboratively. To understand these changes, tracing the historical timeline that led to the evolution of split/shared billing services in the United States is essential.

1- Introduction (minimum 100 words) Definition of reimbursement
Reimbursement is another term for payment. A provider or facility submits a claim. Then the health insurance company or third-party administrator pays the provider or facility for their claim based on their contract. It sounds simple, but the payment arrangements in healthcare can be complex. As providers do not generally receive full payment for services upon a patient’s receipt of services under a health insurance scheme, reimbursement becomes essential to a provider’s livelihood.
2- Elements of Reimbursement (minimum 100 words)
· Coverage refers to a set of rules that explain when a payer will or will not pay for a product or service. Coverage can vary by payer and depends on what each payer considers to be medically necessary. In general, payers want to see regulatory approval, strong clinical evidence demonstrating the treatment is at least as beneficial as the established alternative, and a demonstration of the treatment’s cost-effectiveness. Payers expect well-designed clinical trials with results published in peer-reviewed journals. Support from the physician community and professional societies are also increasingly important to adoption and coverage of new technology.
· Coding refers to the sets of alphanumeric codes that are the language of billing. Providers use codes to tell a payer what products or services were provided and why. There are three main sets of codes: CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10-CM. Choosing the right code to accurately describe a product or service while maximizing payment requires a detailed understanding of the coding structures. If no code exists, it is important to understand the approval process for acquiring a new one – whether it be a CPT code used by physicians to describe what is done to a patient, or an HCPCS code which describe products not described by CPT codes. Finally, it is important to understand that choosing the wrong code creates not only financial implications but also legal culpability.
· Payment is driven by the coding systems and is probably the most complicated element of reimbursement. Although coding drives payment, reimbursement is not quite as simple as just submitting an active code. Payment is driven by complex payment methodologies that differ depending on the site of care where delivery is provided. For example, payment for the same procedure in an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) is often less than payment for the same procedure perfo ...

Current System Issues and Their Impacts
Introduction
Before we can discuss change and innovation in our health care delivery system, a strong understanding of the current system is necessary, including how it functions, what types of incentives are at work, and how the different entities inside it work with and impact each other.
What Elements Drive Our Current System?
There are several key drivers of the existing system, and among these are the money, providers, payers, and consumers. When examining the behavior of any system, it is useful to look at the series of rewards and consequences that drive behavior. In health care, this means that much can be learned about the system's behavior by following the money trail. What things are reimbursed, under what circumstances, and with what outcomes? Under what circumstances are consequences, such as not getting paid, applied? In the current system, payments are highest for procedures, and proceduralists such as surgeons, gastroenterologists, and interventional cardiologists are all paid much higher fees than are family practice physicians, pediatricians, or hospitalists, all of whom manage medical care. Hospitals function under the same premise. Approximately 75% of the revenue for the average community hospital comes from surgeries, and another 12% comes from diagnostic imaging procedures. Additional amounts come from cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures. So, approximately 90% to 95% of revenue comes from performing procedures on patients rather than providing management of diseases through medications or other noninvasive treatments. Thus, the system is focused on rewarding procedures that lead to "curing" and focused away from medical management of chronic diseases or prevention of disease and illness.
Financial Elements
Without doubt, money is one of, if not the, most powerful drivers of system functioning. For a classic example, we can look at the old fee-for-service payment methodology prevalent in the 1960s and 1970s, and contrast it with Medicare's implementation of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) as a payment mechanism in 1983. Under fee-for-service health care, providers used whatever procedures, equipment, and supplies they felt were needed for care, and they submitted a bill that charged for each item. The payors received the bill, corrected any errors, and then issued a check for the corrected amount to the providers. If a provider wished to make a larger profit, they could provide more services or billable items to increase the payment. It comes as no great surprise to note that utilization of services and cost both rose rapidly under this methodology, since there was no incentive to be frugal. When Medicare changed its reimbursement to DRGs, the system began to experience the impact of being paid one flat fee, set by DRG, for the entire admission, regardless of how much care was rendered. For example, if a hospital provided care at a cost below the DRG payment, it was ab.

Health Care Reform and Future Possibilities
Introduction
Health care has undergone episodes of major change since the introduction of Medicare in the 1960s. All of these have resulted in fundamental changes in how health care providers were paid for services to Medicare patients and were swiftly followed by matching changes from independent insurance companies. The latest, and some might say the biggest, change since diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) were introduced in 1983 is the signing into law of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), on March 23, 2010. This law proposes to change the delivery of health care services by changing how providers are paid and what they are paid for. This module explores some of the key elements of PPACA and how health care providers are planning their changes in delivery processes and systems in response.
Major Elements of PPACA
The most significant elements of the PPACA legislation are scheduled to take place over several years. Congress still has the ability to modify some of these elements, so we will examine them with that in mind.
June 2010
Adults with pre-existing conditions were eligible to join a temporary high-risk insurance pool run by the federal government. This will be replaced by a health care exchange in 2014, which will provide access to insurance at affordable rates. Applicants must have a pre-existing health care condition and have been uninsured in the six months prior to application. Premiums will be set at rates for the general population rather than the high-risk premiums charged by insurance companies. Out-of-pocket costs will be limited to $5,950 for individuals and $11,900 for families.
July 2010
The government established the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council, with the Surgeon General to act as chair of the council. This council will oversee the implementation of many of the PPACA elements and will disseminate recommendations to the health care community at large in regard to best practices in prevention and health promotion. As of fall 2010, little had yet been heard from this entity. However, the National Committee on Quality Assurance, which is a private entity dedicated to improving the quality of health care services, is providing best practices and quality measures for health care providers, especially hospitals.
September 2010
Insurance companies can no longer apply lifetime dollar limits on essential benefits for patients. In addition, children may be covered under their parents' insurance plan until they turn 26 years of age. This includes children not living at home, not listed as dependents on their parents' tax returns, not students, and children who are married. Further, no patients under 19 years of age with pre-existing conditions can be excluded from health care benefits based on the pre-existing conditions, and there can be no deductibles or copayments required for provision of preventive care measures and medic ...

There are 258 students
Sample mean response 4.98
Sample standard deviation 1.62
Solution
Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,
Ho: u <= 4.7
Ha: u > 4.7
As we can see, this is a right tailed test.
Thus, getting the critical z, as alpha = 0.035 ,
alpha = 0.035
zcrit = + 1.811910673
Getting the test statistic, as
X = sample mean = 4.98
uo = hypothesized mean = 4.7
n = sample size = 258
s = standard deviation = 1.62
Thus, z = (X - uo) * sqrt(n) / s = 2.776213551
Also, the p value is
p = 0.002749804
As z > 1.8119 (or, P < 0.035), we REJECT HO.
Thus, there is significant evidence that the population mean response after attending the
presentation is larger than 4.7. [CONCLUSION].

Answer the following multiple choice question and explain. B IS NOT THE ANSWER.
Numerical taxonomy for bacteria requires: (a) that the tests used have a clear positive or negative
outcome. (b) that the results can be compared to the results on the same lest for an organism
whose name is known, (c) that the shape and gram stain of the organisms is known, (d) that the
laboratory has access to instruments mat will allow rapid testing of multiple factors, A. B and D,
A, B. and C, B, C, and D.
Solution
Numerical taxonomy differentiates micro-organisms especially bacteria based on their
phenotypic characteristics (phenotypes means appearance of the organisms example include
gram stain reaction, shape and size of bacteria, if bacteria can propel, it\'s ability to grow in
presence or absence of oxygen, nutrient type used)
This correct option is therefore c) that the shape and gram stain of the organism is known..

Sample standard deviation 1.62
Solution
Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,
Ho: u <= 4.7
Ha: u > 4.7
As we can see, this is a right tailed test.
Thus, getting the critical z, as alpha = 0.035 ,
alpha = 0.035
zcrit = + 1.811910673
Getting the test statistic, as
X = sample mean = 4.98
uo = hypothesized mean = 4.7
n = sample size = 258
s = standard deviation = 1.62
Thus, z = (X - uo) * sqrt(n) / s = 2.776213551
Also, the p value is
p = 0.002749804
As z > 1.8119 (or, P < 0.035), we REJECT HO.
Thus, there is significant evidence that the population mean response after attending the
presentation is larger than 4.7. [CONCLUSION].

Answer the following multiple choice question and explain. B IS NOT THE ANSWER.
Numerical taxonomy for bacteria requires: (a) that the tests used have a clear positive or negative
outcome. (b) that the results can be compared to the results on the same lest for an organism
whose name is known, (c) that the shape and gram stain of the organisms is known, (d) that the
laboratory has access to instruments mat will allow rapid testing of multiple factors, A. B and D,
A, B. and C, B, C, and D.
Solution
Numerical taxonomy differentiates micro-organisms especially bacteria based on their
phenotypic characteristics (phenotypes means appearance of the organisms example include
gram stain reaction, shape and size of bacteria, if bacteria can propel, it\'s ability to grow in
presence or absence of oxygen, nutrient type used)
This correct option is therefore c) that the shape and gram stain of the organism is known..

Describe suitable compositions and heat treatments to manufacture the following
microstructures:
(i) 20wt% pearlite dispersed in a matrix of ferrite
(ii) 5wt% graphite dispersed in a matrix of pearlite.
Solution
(i) 20wt% pearlite dispersed in a matrix of ferrite:
For pearlite formation in ferrite we need to use hypoeutectoid steels.
Full Annealing:- It is a heat treatment used to produce soft, coarse pearlite in steels by
austenitizing & then furnace cooling. Cooling rates are slow to allow formation of pearlite in
matrix of ferrite. It is a process of slowly increasing the temperature nearly to 50 ºC above the
Austenitic temperature line A3 or line ACM in the case of Hypoeutectoid steels.
The temperature is kept constant for some time so that all the material to transform into
Austenite. I Then the material is slowly cooled at the rate of about 20 ºC/hr in a furnace to about
50 ºC into the Ferrite range. Cooling can also be done at room temperature air using natural
convection. The grain structure has coarse Pearlite with excess ferrite. The steel becomes soft
and ductile.
Normalizing:- It uses austenitizing and then air cooling which produces a fine pearlite structure.
The process involves increasing the temperature to nearly 60 º C above line A3 or line ACM in
the Austenite range. Its temperature is kept constant for some time to complete Austenite
conversion fully. It is then removed from the furnace and cooled at room temperature under
natural convection (air cooling). As a result we get grain structure of fine Pearlite with excess of
Ferrite. End material is much softer due to presence of pearlite.
(ii) 5wt% graphite dispersed in a matrix of pearlite:
For graphite to be dispersed in pearlite matrix we need to perform annealing (as mentioned
above) for Grey cast iron material. The cooling rate must be kept moderate to form pearlite
matrix..

A preteenage boy is not interested in having sexual experiences. The most reasonable
explanation is that a. he feels threatened; he is denying his true feelings, possibly without
realizing what they are. b. he has probably had anxiety-producing experiences with sex and
wants to avoid any repetition of these experiences. c. his ideas and values make sexual
experiences seem wrong or inappropriate for him right now. d. his social or cultural background
has not yet fostered such interests. e. his biological immaturity means he has not yet experienced
the hormonal surge of puberty. Nine year old David is more aggressive in the classroom than is
Maria. His teacher should probably a. refer David to a therapist who can get him to talk about
his repressed urges. b. give him stars and privileges whenever he behaves appropriately. c. find
out why he is not concentrating on the material; to begin with, have his vision, hearing, and other
perceptual abilities tested. d. realize that David\'s past social interactions have not-challenged
him to develop certain social competencies. e. consider that boys are naturally somewhat more
aggressive than girls. Advertisers often incorporate \"babyishness\" in their promotional symbols
because a. most adults have hidden consummator urges stemming from their childhoods. b.
people are conditioned to act impulsively (and, perhaps, spend money) around children. c. they
are afraid of making their sales pitches too intellectually complex for the average consumer. d.

Solution
The Fourier series is a method of expressing most periodic, time-domain functions in the
frequency domain. The frequency domain representation appears graphically as a series of spikes
occurring at the fundamental frequency (determined by the period of the original function) and
its harmonics. The magnitudes of these spikes are the Fourier coefficients. This series of
components are called the wave spectrum. THE EXPONENTIAL FOURIER SERIES å ¥ =-¥ w

This guarantees the existence of a Fourier series but the series may not converge at every point.
STRONG DIRICHLET CONDITIONS - For a convergent Fourier series, we must meet the
weak Dirichlet condition and f(t) must have only a finite number of maxima and minima in one

Solution
Data is raw. It simply exists and has no significance beyond its existence (in and of itself).
It can exist in any form, usable or not. It does not have meaning of itself. In computer parlance, a
spreadsheet generally starts out by holding data.
information is data that has been given meaning by way of relational connection.
This \"meaning\" can be useful, but does not have to be. In computer parlance, a relational
database makes information from the data stored within it.
knowledge is the appropriate collection of information, such that it\'s intent is to be
useful. Knowledge is a deterministic process. When someone \"memorizes\" information (as
less-aspiring test-bound students often do), then they have amassed knowledge. This knowledge
has useful meaning to them, but it does not provide for, in and of itself, an integration such as
would infer further knowledge. For example, elementary school children memorize, or amass
knowledge of, the \"times table\". They can tell you that \"2 x 2 = 4\" because they have amassed
that knowledge (it being included in the times table). But when asked what is \"1267 x 300\",
they can not respond correctly because that entry is not in their times table. To correctly answer
such a question requires a true cognitive and analytical ability that is only encompassed in the
next level... understanding. In computer parlance, most of the applications we use (modeling,
simulation, etc.) exercise some type of stored knowledge.
wisdom is an extrapolative and non-deterministic, non-probabilistic process. It calls
upon all the previous levels of consciousness, and specifically upon special types of human
programming (moral, ethical codes, etc.). It beckons to give us understanding about which there
has previously been no understanding, and in doing so, goes far beyond understanding itself. It is
the essence of philosophical probing. Unlike the previous four levels, it asks questions to which
there is no (easily-achievable) answer, and in some cases, to which there can be no humanly-
known answer period. Wisdom is therefore, the process by which we also discern, or judge,
between right and wrong, good and bad. I personally believe that computers do not have, and
will never have the ability to posses wisdom. Wisdom is a uniquely human state, or as I see it,
wisdom requires one to have a soul, for it resides as much in the heart as in the mind. And a soul
is something machines will never possess. personally I contend that the sequence is a bit less
involved than described by Ackoff. The following diagram represents the
transitions from data, to information, to knowledge, and finally to wisdom, and it is
understand.

What is a router? Explain in minimum 5 paragraphs can use citations
Solution
Router is a hardware device which is used to recieve packets from other network and also send
the packets to the other network and it is meant to be desingned to work like that. It is mainly
used to share internet to the multiple computers or users to surf the internet. By stepping in to the
latest technologies routers are enormously devoleping so in this context routers are evolved so
ther are two types of routers like wirless routers and connected routers. Connected routers are
used in between the computers and wireless are used to the laptops and mobile phones also.
Routers use headers to forward the packets and use some protocols to transfer the data from
one network to the another network. There are many type of routers that are different in their
physical design some consists of antennas which is used to grab the perfect signal that is sharing
the packets very easily.
The main uses of the router are, These performs the protocol translation, Restricts broadcasts
to the lans, and it acts as a gateway, and calculate or analyse the path to transfer the data and do
more manipulations if any problem occurs in it.
The router mainly functions in the layer 3 even though it functions in all the other layers
basic layer is layer3 where it stands constantly for more period.if you are using a router, your
computer’s IP address is going to begin with either 198.168.0 or 10.0.0. This is because the
powers-that-be decided that those IP address would be reserved for local network use. so in this
way router plays a major role in transferring some important information and need to know the
importance of it..

What are gene expression controls on the different levels of gene regulation in transcription,
translation and post translation?
Solution
Regulation of gene expression includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to
increase or decrease the production of specific gene products and is informally termed gene
regulation.
Transcriptional Control
During Transcriptional Control of Gene Expression transcription is initiated at the promoter
RNA polymerase must bind here to begin transcription
Transcriptional control allows variation in mRNA levels for specific enzymes. The cell avoids
the production of these enzymes by utilizing regulatory proteins that prevent RNA polymerase
from binding to a promoter.
Translational Control
It allows the cell to control the translation of an mRNA molecule that has already been
transcribed. Regulatory molecules can speed up mRNA degradation by ribonucleases.
Translation initiation can be altered. Translation proteins can be affected.
Post translation control
Post-translational control occurs when the cell controls the activity of an existing protein by
chemical modification. Post-translational control provides the most rapid response but is
energetically expensive.

USA Today (\"Hybrid Car Sales Rose 81% Last Year,\" April 25, 2005) reported the top five
states for sales of hybrid cars in 2004 as California, Virginia, Washington, Florida, and
Maryland. Suppose that each car in a sample of 2004 hybrid car sales is classified by state where
the sale took place. Sales from states other than the top five were excluded from the sample,
resulting in the accompanying table.
(The given observed counts are artificial, but they are consistent with hybrid sales figures given
in the article.)
The 2004 population estimates from the Census Bureau web site are given in the accompanying
table. The population proportion for each state was computed by dividing each state population
by the total population for all five states. Use the 2goodness-of-fit test and a significance level of
= 0.01
to test the hypothesis that hybrid sales for these five states are proportional to the 2004
population for these states.

Tournament System Axiom 1: Every game consists of two players. Axiom 2: For every distinct
pair of players, p and p, there is exactly one game. Axiom 3: There are exactly M players. a.
What are the undefined terms? b. How many games will there be? c. Is the system consistent?
(Show a model for M = 5. Explain what happens each time M increases by 1. 3 points.) d. Is the
system independent? (Your answer requires proof. 3 points.)
Solution
An axiomatic system is a list of undefined terms together with a list of statements (called
“axioms”) that
are presupposed to be “true.” A theorem is any statement that can be proven using logical
deduction
from the axioms.
a.Undefined terms: Games and players
b.Number of games: M-1 (as there are 1 less game than the number of player if they play each
other once)
c.Independence: An axiom is called independent if it cannot be proven from the other axioms. In
other words, the axiom “needs” to be there, since you can’t get it as a theorem if you leave it out.
How do you prove that
something can’t be proved? This relates to the area of mathematics known as logic.
d.Consistency:- If there is a model for an axiomatic system, then the system is called consistent.
Otherwise, the system is inconsistent. In order to prove that a system is consistent, all we need to
do is come up with a model:
a definition of the undefined terms where the axioms are all true. In order to prove that a system
is
inconsistent, we have to somehow prove that no such model exists
For M=5 there are exactly 4 games should be played. Hence there is consistency in the
system.Since this is a definition of the undefined terms where the axioms are all true.

The force below shows a client sending an HTTP request to Google and receiving and
acknowledging the response. Fill in the sequence numbers (seqno) and ACK numbers (ackno).
Solution
When the sequence number of client is 1500, the acknowledgement number of the google\'s web
server\'s acknowledgement number must have been the same before it received the payload
shown in the diagram.
After the client sends the packets with seqno=1500, ackno=3500 with a payload of 300 bytes of
data, the server (Google\'s web server) acknowledges the payload received and increases its
acknowledgement number from 1500 to 1500+300 = 1800.
Also, its sequence number will be the same as the acknowledgement number of the client since
the client had acknowledged the last packet it received from the server. Therefore, S1 = 3500.
After the client receives 1400 bytes of data, its acknowledgement number increases by 1400.
Therefore A2 = 3500+1400 = 4900
Hence,
S1 = 3500
A1 = 1800
A2 = 4900.

There can be various ways by which measurement of time using stopwatch may vary and how it
will affect the error.
1.there might be internal errors in the watch, which might delay or extend reading (technical
error). It may slow down the time or increase it and accordingly vary the data.
2. There might be error due to relativity, if object is moving at high speed. Again it may increase
or decrease the value depending on the condition..

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

When you look at the health care delivery system do you find other w.pdf
- 1. When you look at the health care delivery system do you find other ways that the goverment might change the payment system to avoid fraudelent activity by providers? Solution BARRIERS SOLUTIONS BARRIER #1:Continued use of fee -for-service payment in payment reforms SOLUTION: Use episode-of-care payment for acute conditions and global payments for all patients to eliminate undesirable incentives under fee-for-service and to give providers the flexibility and accountability to reduce costs and improve quality BARRIER #2:Expecting providers to be accountable for costs they cannot control. SOLUTION: Use risk adjustment and risk limits to keep insurance risk with payers but transfer performance risk to providers.Use risk exclusions to give providers accountability only for the types of costs they areable to control.Make provisions for contract adjustments to deal with unforeseen events BARRIER #3:Physician compensation based on volume, not value SOLUTION: Change physician compensation systems to match incentives under payment reform. Modify federal and state fraud and abuse laws to permit gain-sharing between hospitals and physicians BARRIER #4:Lack of data for setting payment amounts SOLUTION: Give providers access to timely analyses of both utilization and costs through community multi-payer claims databases BARRIER #5:Lack of patient engagement SOLUTION: Ask patients to designate their primary care physicians rather than using statistical attribution rules based on fee-for-service claims to assign them retrospectively. Use value-based benefit designs to enable and encourage patients to improve health,adhere to treatment plans, and choose high-value providers and services
