One: The most valuable and important ethical lessons that I learned from this course pertains to capacity and autonomy. I’ve always been aware of these concepts as a healthcare professional in Clinical Research, but it affirmed my praxis with historical context. My significant exposure to all aspects of Oncology and Clinical Research Administration, along with related subject oversight and leadership execution successes, have equipped me with the critical, technical, and creative abilities enabling me to thrive in the fast-paced environment. As a Clinical Researcher, I have successfully provided strong support and guidance to prestigious institutions. I helped ensure that each organization’s daily operational and regulatory aspects were conducted in a highly professional manner and adhered to FDA standards, professional ethics, and our clinical trial participants’ health and well-being. Whether I am working at a hospital connected to an academic institution or pharmaceutical company, Healthcare organizations need to also establish as part of their work culture to lead with accountability. Whatever leadership permits is inadvertently what leader promotes.

The use of objective and transparent data such as clinical outcomes, safety protocols, meeting attendance, and deficiency reports helps avoid ambiguity during evaluations. Feedback regarding performance will always be challenging. The way a healthcare organization develops its goals are related to the complex function in which they operate, how they integrate care and command a broad set of competencies. Accountability cannot be generalized as that would lead to risk when caring for multi-morbidity chronic diseases. Improving the health of the population requires ongoing population health information on the part of governing bodies and providers, plus the capability to collaborate to improve care and services. Revisiting the historical context and origins of nonmaleficence, justice, beneficence, and morality in this course affirmed my efforts in the workplace and what I will continue to do.

two: Throughout the duration of this course, I have learned many different concepts as they relate to the ethical being of healthcare. Each of these concepts have allowed me to further my knowledge in how I can better serve as a future healthcare leader down the road. I believe that the concept that taught me the most was the understanding of the different ethical principles. Before this course, I knew the basics of ethics but nothing in depth. If I would’ve been faced with an ethical dilemma, I likely would not have been able to back up my response with a suitable ethical reasoning. The ethical principles of justice, autonomy, nonmaleficence, and beneficence have taught me how to create a foundation in ethics when faced with dilemmas in the healthcare environment. With the new policies, internally in the hospital and externally from state and federal governments, “knowledge of theories of ethics is especially important for appropriate patient and organizational decision-making” (Morrison & Furlong, 2019).

I have found myself faced with situations that the foundations of ethics that I’ve built has been very helpful. Looking back on previous situations, I can see where a foundation of ethics would have also been very useful in the decision-making process then. One of the biggest principles of ethics that has had an impact on me is autonomy. Working on the frontlines when patients come into the hospital for outpatient procedures, I am faced with determining if the patient is coerced answering questions by their additional visitor if they are answering on their own accord. There is also a competency factor. For example, “a person with a transient ischemic attack might be unable to balance a checkbook. However, that same person might be able to understand the consequences of a medical procedures” (Summers, n.d.). My new foundation of ethics has helped me navigate these tricky situations better amid these uncertain times.

I need an explanation for this Health & Medical question to help me study.

 

You have been asked to teach a fitness class at your local community center three mornings a week. The community center weight room has 4 squat/press racks, bars, bumper plates, dumbbells and kettlebells in a range of sizes, 4 TRX units, cones, jump ropes, and a large open indoor space as well as an outdoor courtyard. You may bring in any additional equipment you would like.

Design a four-week cycle of classes in which you develop strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness in three classes per week. Provide scaling options for the different experience and fitness levels in each class. Develop this case study as you see fit, including defining your audience, describing what equipment and training style you will use, and explaining how you would deal with potential problems.

Include exercises and modifications for all four weeks, as well as a narrative of how you will set up your class and the necessary considerations. Use the template provided to design your case study.

Some questions that will help you design your class:

  • Who is your target audience?
  • What equipment do you plan on using?
  • What are your teaching strengths/weaknesses? Ie, what equipment are you comfortable using to teach strength? Can you teach specific skill such as martial arts or dance? Do you like to incorporate games into your classes?
  • How many people do you feel comfortable handling at one time?
  • What are your core exercises going to be? How can you modify or substi-tute them to be more or less challenging?
  • What is your goal for your participants? What methods/equipment are you going to use to teach your class?
  • What is the duration of each class? What specific components are you go-ing to include on a daily and weekly basis?
  • What does your warm-up and cool-down routine look like?
  • What specific skills are you going to teach?
  • How many segments will make up your workout? (1-3 is ideal) What training methods/equipment will you use for each segment?
  • How will you progress your clients from week to week?

Reimbursement in Healthcare White Paper

Need help with my Health & Medical question – I’m studying for my class.

 

The final project for this course is the creation of a white paper.

Much of what happens in healthcare is about understanding the expectations of the many departments and personnel within the organization. Reimbursement drives the financial operations of healthcare organizations; each department affects the reimbursement process regarding timelines and the amount of money put into and taken out of the system. However, if departments do not follow the guidelines put into place or do not capture the necessary information, it can be detrimental to the reimbursement system.

An important role for patient financial services (PFS) personnel is to monitor the reimbursement process, analyze the reimbursement process, and suggest changes to help maximize the reimbursement. One way to make this process more efficient is by ensuring that the various departments and personnel are exposed to the necessary knowledge.

For your final project, you will assume the role of a supervisor within a PFS department and develop a white paper in which the necessary healthcare reimbursement knowledge is outlined.

The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

  • HCM-345-01: Analyze the impacts of various healthcare departments and their interrelationships on the revenue cycle
  • HCM-345-02: Compare third-party payer policies through analysis of reimbursement guidelines for achieving timely and maximum reimbursements
  • HCM-345-03: Analyze organizational strategies for negotiating healthcare contracts with managed care organizations
  • HCM-345-04: Critique legal and ethical standards and policies in healthcare coding and billing for ensuring compliance with rules and regulations
  • HCM-345-05: Evaluate the use of reimbursement data for its purpose in case and utilization management and healthcare quality improvement as wellas its impact on pay for performance incentivesPromptYou are now a supervisor within the patient financial services (PFS) department of a healthcare system. It has been assigned to you to write a white paper to educate other department managers about reimbursement. This includes how each specific department impacts reimbursement for services, which in turn impacts the healthcare organization as a whole. The healthcare system may include hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and more. For now, your boss has asked you to develop a draft of this paper for the hospital personnel only; in the future, there may be the potential to expand this for other facilities.

In order to complete the white paper, you will need to choose a hospital. You can choose one that you are familiar with or create an imaginary one. Hospitals vary in size, location, and focus. Becker’s Hospital Review has an excellent list of things to know about the hospital industry. Once you have determined the hospital, you will need to think about the way a patient visit works at the hospital you chose so you can review the processes and departments involved. There are several ways to accomplish this. Choose one of the following:

  • If you have been a patient in a hospital or if you know someone who has, you can use that experience as the basis for your responses.
  • Conduct research through articles or get information from professional organizations. Below is an example of how to begin framing your analysis.A patient comes in through the emergency department. In this case, the patient would be triaged and seen in the emergency department. Think about what happens in an emergency area. The patient could be asked to change into a hospital gown (think about the costs of the gown and other supplies provided). If the patient is displaying signs of vomiting, plastic bags will be provided and possibly antinausea medication. Lab work and possibly x-rays would be done. The patient could be sent to surgery, sent home, or admitted as an inpatient. If he or she is admitted as an inpatient, meals will be provided and more tests will be ordered by the physician—again, more costs and charges for the patient bill. Throughout the course, you will be gathering additional information through your readings and supplemental materials to help you write your white paper.When drafting this white paper, bear in mind that portions of your audience may have no healthcare reimbursement experience, while others may have been given only a brief overview of reimbursement. The goal of this guide is to provide your readers with a thorough understanding of the importance of their departments and thus their impact on reimbursement. Be respectful of individual positions and give equal consideration to patient care and the business aspects of healthcare. Consider written communication skills, visual aids, and the feasibility to translate this written guide into verbal training.Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Reimbursement and the Revenue Cycle

  1. Describe what reimbursement means to a healthcare organization. What would happen if services were provided to patients but no payments werereceived for these services?
  2. Illustrate the flow of the patient through the cycle from the initial point of contact through the care and ending at the point where thepayment is collected. Also identify the departments in order of importance to the revenue cycle.

Departmental Impact on Reimbursement

  1. Describe the impact of the departments in a healthcare organization that utilize reimbursement data. What type of audit would be necessary todetermine whether the reimbursement impact is reached fully by these departments? How could the impact of these departments on pay-for-performance incentives be measured?
  2. Assess the activities within each department at this healthcare organization for how they may impact reimbursement. What specific data would youreview in the reimbursement area to know whether changes were necessary?
  3. Identify the responsible department for ensuring compliance with billing and coding policies. How does this affect the department’s impact onreimbursement in a healthcare organization?
