Evaluation and Management

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

Evaluation and Management

Insurance coding and billing is complex, but it boils down to how to accurately apply a code, or CPT (current procedural terminology), to the service that you provided. The payer then reimburses the service at a certain rate. As a provider, you will have to understand what codes to use and what documentation is necessary to support coding.

For this Assignment, you will review evaluation and management (E/M) documentation for a case study patient. You will analyze the documentation to formulate DSM-5-TR diagnoses and ICD-10 coding. You will formulate a billing code for reimbursement of the case study. You will consider legal and ethical considerations for coding and billing. You will analyze and consider the documentation necessary to support accurate billing and coding procedures.

Information Literacy: Evaluate resources and select only library/Web-based resources that provide reliable, substantiated information.

For the sources that you utilize, give the authors credit for their work. Union Organizing Strategies

 

Prepare a submission that is professionally presented. Proofread carefully for grammar, spelling, and word-usage errors.

What labor movement efforts are most impactful?, Why might these efforts increase unionization?, How are social activism and millennials connected to unions?, What tactics should HR watch for in the future?, What reliable sources support these insights?

1. Labor Movement Efforts with High Impact

The most impactful efforts are those that connect union organizing with social justice and broader community concerns. By aligning workplace rights with issues like fair wages, diversity, equity, and inclusion, unions are able to reach younger generations who value collective action. Digital campaigns, social media outreach, and grassroots movements are also playing a key role in building momentum.

2. Why These Efforts Matter

Traditional union appeals focused primarily on wages and benefits. However, private sector workers—especially millennials and Gen Z—are more motivated by values-based issues. Framing unionization as part of a larger fight for fairness, equality, and sustainability makes the movement more relevant. These approaches also help overcome the stigma sometimes associated with unions, positioning them instead as modern advocates for workplace democracy.

3. Social Activism and Millennial Engagement

Practicum Experience Plan

As you establish your goals and objectives for this course, you are committing to an organized plan that will frame your practicum experience in a clinical setting, including planned activities, assessment, and achievement of defined outcomes. In particular, they must address the categories of clinical reasoning, quality in your clinical specialty, and interpersonal collaborative practice.

For this Assignment, you will consider the areas you aim to focus on to gain practical experience as an advanced practice nurse. Then, you will develop a Practicum Experience Plan (PEP) containing the objectives you will fulfill in order to achieve your aims. In this practicum experience, when developing your goals and objectives, be sure to keep psychotherapy approaches and techniques in mind.

TO PREPARE Practicum Experience Plan

· Review your Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form you submitted last week and think about areas for which you would like to gain application-level experience and/or continued growth as an advanced practice nurse. How can your experiences in the practicum help you achieve these aims?

· Review the information related to developing objectives provided in this week’s Learning Resources. Your practicum learning objectives that you want to achieve during your practicum experience must be:

Practicum Experience Plan

· Specific

· Measurable

· Attainable

· Results-focused

· Time-bound

· Reflective of the higher-order domains of Bloom’s taxonomy (i.e., application level and above)

Note: Please make sure your objectives are individualized and outlined in your Practicum Experience Plan (PEP). While you may add previous objectives to continue to work toward. You must have 3 new objectives for each class, each quarter.

· Discuss your professional aims and your proposed practicum objectives with your Preceptor to ascertain if the necessary resources are available at your practicum site.

· Select one nursing theory and one counseling/psychotherapy theory to best guide your clinical practice. Explain why you selected these theories. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

· Create a timeline of practicum activities that demonstrates how you plan to meet these goals and objectives based on your practicum requirements.

· ASSIGNMENT

· Record the required information in each area of the Practicum Experience Plan template, including 3–4  measurable practicum learning objectives you will use to facilitate your learning during the practicum experience.

Ethical Issues in Public Health

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

Ethical Issues in Public Health

In last week’s activity, you described how public health managers can effectively promote an “ethics-focused” organizational culture. Even though an ethics-based culture may exist, applying ethics standards to scenarios presented in public health agencies is still necessary. Leaders need to have a framework for analyzing issues to arrive at ethically informed decisions. In this assignment, you will apply an analytical framework to justify a position on an ethics-related topic.

Ethical Issues in Public Health

Preparation

  • Identify an ethical issue related to public healthcare that interests you. Examples are nearly endless. Three examples are:
    • The ethics of providing individuals needles for drug use.
    • Releasing a vaccine in an emergency pandemic without completing the usual time-intensive testing and research.
    • Making vaccines mandatory in times of pandemic.
  • Review EXHIBIT 11.3 Framework for Analysis of Ethical Issues in Public Health found in chapter 11 of your textbook. You will use this framework to analyze the issue and arrive at a position regarding it.

Instructions Ethical Issues in Public Health

Identify your chosen issue and analyze it using the framework for Analysis of Ethical Issues in Public Health found in your textbook. Do the following in 3-4 pages:

  • Analyze the ethical issue by answering at least 4 of the probing questions found in the framework.
  • Briefly evaluate the ethical dimensions of TWO distinct options for resolving the dilemma against the following:
    • Utility.
    • Justice.
    • Respect for individual interests.
    • Respect for legitimate public institutions.
  • State and justify your chosen position on the issue by evaluating it against the following principles:
    • Effectiveness.
    • Proportionality.
    • Necessity.
    • Least infringement. Ethical Issues in Public Health

What is your chosen ethical issue?, What probing questions guide your analysis?, What two options exist to resolve the dilemma?, How do utility, justice, respect for individuals, and institutions apply?, What is your justified position based on principles?

1. Chosen Ethical Issue

For this analysis, the chosen ethical issue is making vaccines mandatory in times of pandemic. This issue is highly relevant, as public health leaders must balance individual freedoms with the responsibility to protect populations from widespread harm. Mandatory vaccination policies raise debates around autonomy, justice, fairness, and collective responsibility.
