in-service”-style educational

In this assignment, groups will develop an outline for an “in-service”-style educational session on risk management, which will form the basis for a CLC slide presentation in Topic 5. Before starting the assignment, you are required to submit your proposed presentation topic to the instructor for approval. You will select one risk management topic relevant to and chosen from the points analyzed in the Risk Management Program Analysis Part One assignment in Topic 1.

The approval step is required so that each group will profile a different risk management topic in order to enhance the depth of learning and contribute to the body of knowledge of each student. Submit your group’s proposed topic as early as possible after your group members have been selected, but no later than Day 7 of Topic 1 for full assignment credit. Once you receive instructor approval, only then should you initiate work on this assignment. (Note: Work submitted on an unapproved topic will receive zero credit.)

Once your topic has been approved by the faculty, you will develop a 500-750 word comprehensive outline that communicates the approved risk management topic. The outline is required to include a minimum of three objectives to discuss what your group considers to be key or core risk management elements that pertain to the point, or element, you selected to profile.

Required sections to include in your outline are listed below. If your topic requires additional sections, include them as well:

  1. Introduction.
  2. Objectives: Three objectives you intend to address in the proposed risk management educational session.
  3. Rationale: Rationale for each objective (i.e., Why are these three objectives key or core to the risk management issue?).
  4. Supportive Data: Data to support the need for the proposed educational session.
  5. Implementation Strategies: How will you implement the proposed educational session?
  6. Evaluation Strategies: What tools will you use to evaluate the proposed educational session?
  7. Challenges and Opportunities: Ideas or suggestions about areas of focus regarding risk management the organization could or should address moving forward into the future?

It may be helpful to preview the requirements for the Topic 3 assignment (Risk Management Program Analysis Part Two) and the Topic 4 assignment (Organizational Risk Management Interview), as the information may contribute to and enhance your final group presentation in Topic 5. It is highly encouraged that you also preview the Topic 5 assignment (Educational Program on Risk Management Part Two: Slide Presentation) to ensure your outline addresses all required elements for that final CLC submission. 

For assistance on developing a solid outline, “Four Main Components for Effective Outlines” and related material regarding outlines can be found on the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) website at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/01/.

(Note: You are required to incorporate all instructor feedback from this assignment into the Topic 5 assignment, CLC – Educational Program on Risk Management Part Two – Slide Presentation. To save time later in the course, consider addressing any feedback soon after this assignment has been graded and returned to you.)

A minimum of six citations from the literature or appropriate websites is required to support your statements.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Paid For Performance Paper

Since P4P ( paid for performance) has been around for a number of years, one would think that its effectiveness should be clearly documented. However, Peter Kongstvedt says that results have been mixed. He concludes that “positive results remain ambiguous, at least on a broad basis.”

Review various P4P program results and effectiveness on the Internet or through your college’s Online Library, which you can access in the Resources tab.

Write a 1-page report of your findings. Specifically, address strengths and weaknesses of this compensation method, both from the point of view of the health plan and the physician. Cite at least two sources. List sources in APA format.

1. What is medical coding and what is it used for?

Medical coding is a way for healthcare providers and healthcare organizations to document codes used for the diagnosis a patient was diagnosed with and track data.

2. What coding systems are used in the United States?

            The coding systems that are used in the United States are ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM,and ICD-10-PCS.

3. How did changes to the ICD-9 over the years reflect events

            Changes to ICD-9 over the years reflected on the events of HIV and AIDS by being assigned with new codes to better classify them. Other disease like Lyme disease had a code assigned to it due to the growing concern the country had with the disease.

4. What is ICD-10 and why was it mandated to use it?

 ICD-10 is used to classify diagnosis and also classify mortality data from death certificates. ICD-10 was mandated to use it as a clinical modification.

CPT codes.

The AMA owns the copyright to the CPT codes. Their site is useful and has a lot of information. For example, you can read more about the process of procedure coding on their site at this link:http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/physician-resources/solutions-managing-your-practice/coding-billing-insurance/cpt/cpt-process-faq/code-becomes-cpt.page

1) Go to the AMA site, find something about CPT coding, summarize it, and add the content to the Wiki page. Include the page where you found the information.

2) Identify a CPT procedure code

       Include the numerical code, description and Medicare allowable.

Use the code search on the AMA website. For example, use this link https://ocm.ama-assn.org/OCM/CPTRelativeValueSearch.do?submitbutton=accept and enter a state, key words and click on Submit. List the code and description you find.

You may use a different method to find a procedure code and description. If you do, include this with your code and description.
