MEDICINAL PLANTS PROJECT –BLACK COHOSH (ACTAEA RACEMOSA)

Note to the writer-Please use the same grading rubric and table to review 15 articles and place them in table format, as before, answering the following questions
• What are the pros and cons to the potential of over-utilization of the health care delivery system in a zero out of pocket cost to the patient?
• Would providers be able to provide better care since patients would seek medical care sooner when an illness or injury warrants medical attention, or would they be overwhelmed with both patients with real illnesses, and patients seeking care for minor or imagined illnesses?
• Can Americans expect the government to do a better job of allocating scarce resources in the health care sector than private enterprise?
• Can health care be considered intractable, like poverty, on the world stage?
• Are there sufficient resources anywhere to dedicate solely to health care services?
• From a normative perspective, does economic analysis change the direction of a policy initiative once it gains political and or popular support?

What are the mechanisms by which data produced within an ancillary service is returned to the physician’s office?

/in /by

The patient-physician encounter represents the fundamental event responsible for the bulk of the data recorded within a medical record. This encounter results in a wide range of activities that happen inside the physician practice, but can also occur outside the practice, in the case of outside laboratory and diagnostic tests or requested third-party consultations. Read Chapter 1 (file uploaded). Also search the Internet for more information on electronic medical records, such as that found at the Web site, HIMSS – Health Care Information and Management Systems Society. Then, answer the following questions: 1. What do you consider to be the most important element of the patient record? 2. What are the mechanisms by which data produced within an ancillary service is returned to the physician’s office? 3. What are the major benefits of having all services operate within a digital framework rather than an analog-based environment? 4. What are the major hurdles to moving to digital records? 5. How would you help a medical practice better understand the value in moving to a digital record environment? For questions 1-5, illustrate your points in the context of a patient’s visit to a health care provider. HIMSS link: https://www.himss.org/ Note: Do not write introduction & conclusion. Answer in your own words or paraphrase your work. You can research on the Internet or books/journals & you can add additional references.

Identify the benefits that Web 2.0 brings to the ICD-11 initiative.

/in /by

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10) is owned and published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is used by nearly all countries except the United States. The United States adopted the ICD-10 classification for documenting mortality in 1999, but still uses the earlier ICD-9 system for all other purposes. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid announced that they will adopt the ICD-10 classification on October 1, 2013. Search the Internet for information on ICD-9 and ICD-10 classifications, such as can be found at WHO ICD-10 Classification. Compose 3 pages written in paragraphs on the following: 1. First Paragraph (4 sentences): Write 1 introduction paragraph. 2. Second Paragraph (4 sentences or more): Identify the differences between the ICD-9 and ICD-10 classifications. 3. Third Paragraph (4 sentences or more): Address the impact of the ICD-10 migration to the medical community. 4. Fourth Paragraph (4 sentences or more): Explain rationale for migrating to ICD-10 from a disease reporting perspective. 5. Fifth Paragraph (4 sentences or more): Identify problems when classifications co-exist. 6. Sixth Paragraph (4 sentences or more): Identify 1 potential obstacle to conversion to ICD-10 and how it can be overcome. 7. Seventh Paragraph (4 sentences or more): Identify the benefits that Web 2.0 brings to the ICD-11 initiative. 8. Eighth Paragraph (4 sentences): Write 1 concluding paragraph. Note: Answer in your own words or paraphrase your work. You can research on the Internet or books/journals & you can add additional references.

Ashford 6: – Week 5 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

A Note about Earning Full Credit on Discussions:
As you participate in discussions throughout this course, remember that your responses must be considered substantive to be awarded full credit. A quality, substantive response, must meet several criteria in order to be considered for full credit. The criteria include: length, content, relevance, proper grammar and punctuation. Your responses should add new information to the conversation (instructors and classmates do not want to read the same thing over and over), use class vocabulary, use proper APA format, clearly cite the source of information that you use, be free of major grammatical errors, and be coherent (easily and quickly understood and without contradictions). Substantive responses should not be based solely on opinion, but should reflect the content of the reading assignment for the current lesson. It is also appropriate to include personal experience/examples and/or information from outside sources that support the content from the assigned reading. A substantive post to an online discussion forum will almost always be more than one or two sentences, will contain new information or will ask questions that will continue the discussion. Short statements like “I agree” or “good work” are not considered to be substantive and will not receive full credit.

Amazing Blood Facts

By Day 1of Week One, your instructor will assign students to specific statements. The focus of our discussion this week is the associated anatomy and physiology of the following statements. In your own words, answer the associated questions with your assigned statement.

Your initial post must be a minimum of 250 to 300 words. In addition to the textbook, utilize a minimum of two scholarly sources to support your points. Cite and reference your sources in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
