This assignment complete the analysis of a theory by evaluating it’s usefulness in practice.

Instructions: Using the same theory as the previous assignments complete an evaluation using the questions below as subheadings. Use narrative writing, follow APA writing guidelines, and include acknowledgement of sources. You must have a title page and reference page. You must determine after each question if the answer was a strength or weakness of the theory. The evaluation outline is adapted from the Synthesized Method for Theory Evaluation, McEwen & Wills (2014), p.108. You may not change the template, except to enlarge the space for your responses. Do not answer with “yes” or “no” responses.

Support your responses with a minimum of 3 (three) references. You may use the course textbook as one of your references, as applicable.

Part III: Theory Evaluation

● Is the theory congruent with current nursing standards?

● Is the theory congruent with current nursing interventions or therapeutics?

● Has the theory been tested empirically? Is it supported by research? Does it appear to be accurate/valid? Explain.

● Is there evidence that the theory has been used by nursing educators, nursing researchers, or nursing administrators? Provide examples.

● Is the theory relevant socially and cross-culturally? Explain.

● Does the theory contribute to the discipline of nursing? In what way/s?

● Summary: What is your “take away” from this review? Evaluation

In an effort to promote awareness of healthcare fraud and abuse, your facility’s compliance officer has asked you to write a report that illustrates the major laws that address and support prosecution. In your report, provide the following:

• A description and comparison of each law.
• Summary of the importance and benefits of legal and ethical behavior in healthcare.

Be sure to include all seven major laws covered in this module’s reading and provide a summary that will emphasize the importance of professional, legal, and ethical behavior in the healthcare workplace.

The length of your report should be 1-2 pages.

IUnit V PowerPoint Presentation

Identify a specific health technology that has been used within the last 10 years. Then, create a PowerPoint presentation that includes the background, the financial implications, the ethical concerns (e.g., equality, equity), and the meaningful use of the health technology. Additionally, explain the impact that the health technology has had on the healthcare industry.

Your presentation should be a minimum of 15 slides, not counting the title and reference slides. You must use a minimum of five resources, including your textbook. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. All references and citations must be formatted using APA style

Develop a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation with accompanying 10 to 20 minutes of audio targeted at educating new hires at a health care organization about the revenue-cycle process.

INTRODUCTION

The financial health of the health care organization depends upon its ability to generate consistent and recurring funds from the services it provides. Collectively referred to as the revenue cycle (RCM), critical stages in this process include:

• Patient registration.
• Collection of demographics and payor source.
• Rendering services.
• Documenting services.
• Establishing charges.
• Preparing the claim or bill.
• Submitting the claim.
• Receiving payment.
• Managing accounts receivable.

Decreasing payment delays and lost revenues is a point of interest for many health care managers tasked with oversight of the RCM process. Innovative approaches in technology have assisted with streamlining the RCM process and allowed for automation of many processes, resulting in expedited processing and quick remittance.Managed care dollars represent a significant portion of all health care organizations’ reimbursements. As a result, health care organizations seek to establish contracts with large managed care organizations (MCOs). Negotiating and securing contracts with MCOs is important for several reasons, including preserving revenues, enhancing patient satisfaction, and generating additional sources of revenue.All contracts will contain language outlining the administration of the contract along with the payment schedule. While the payment schedule may be seen as the most important element, the terms outlined within the contract are equally as vital to the financial success of the organization.This assessment focuses on the revenue cycle and how technological innovations have impacted reimbursement for health care organizations. You will take on the role of a patient access supervisor. One of your job functions entails educating new hires on the revenue cycle process.
