The revenue cycle in the healthcare industry is unique considering the interaction between provider, payer, and patient. Add on top of this the ongoing confluence of factors surrounding the transition to ICD-10, price transparency, consumerism, and various reimbursement structures (e.g., fee for service (FFS), bundled payments, value based purchasing, risk based/capitated) and you have an extremely complicated revenue model. On the flip side of this coin, we also contend with a robust procurement chain with hundreds of thousands of end items required to service any modern acute care facility.
For this discussion, do the following:

Locate at least one online resource (a link, article, or book, for example) pertaining to the healthcare revenue cycle or working capital management process.
In your discussion, examine the content and then share the resource (post your resource and use APA style). Summarize the resource(s) and what you find useful about it.

Do you think Kurdistan’s independence movement has failed? And if we assume that Kurdistan’s independence was recognized, could it potentially end conflicts between Iraqis and Kurds, and what should be the next step for Kurds after September 2017 referendum that lacked international support?
The research essay need to develop based on a solid and tentative argument to address the essay’s questions, and it is expected to be informed by, and engage with, the perspectives and arguments in international development studies. While writing the research essay you need to have in mind that development has been regarded as an invention, a Western idea, and very often has provided the legitimacy for social, cultural, economic, and political intervention of Western countries in the life of developing societies in the Third World. Intervention in the named of development has not only curtailed the autonomy of independent states to pursue their own visions and aspirations to construct just and economically sustainable societies, but has also allowed notions of “Whiteness” and “Othering” or “the West and the rest” to be institutionalized in the practice and discourse of the development work. Are the development industry, and the practice and discourse that support it, justifiable today? If so, under what grounds? What are the possible directions of international development in fostering an equitable world?

The impact of colonisation

Describe one issue in relation to a 19th to early 20th century government legislation and its impact on Māori at that time. Explain how the legislation affected both Māori and non-Māori New Zealanders today.

Task 3 – The implications of Te Tiriti o Waitangi for early childhood education (7 marks)

Describe the relevance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in early childhood education and its links to Te Whāriki . Your talk should engage the audience and be clearly understood by all.

This comparative paper will help you weigh textual evidence more carefully as you examine the different treatments two writers give the same subject. You will be analyzing two of our assigned texts, “Free Speech is Flunking Out on College Campuses” by Rampell and “Restoring Free Speech on Campus” by Stone and Creely. The purpose of the assignment is to help you perceive distortions in the writers’ use of evidence, assess the reliability of the writers, recognize biases, and draw inferences from the data they present.

An 86-year-old male comes to the clinic stating she was diagnosed of Class III heart failure and atrial fibrillation. He said his cholesterol and triglycerides have been elevated since he was in his mid-forties and developed high blood pressure. Within the last 2 months, he started having chest pain when he takes a shower and washes his hair. Sometimes he must stop several times while walking from his front door to the car because “I can’t get my breath and my chest really hurts”. He states he hasn’t been taking any medications for the past 3 months due economic problems. He states “my monthly light bill is very high because I keep my air conditioner running 24/7 so I can breathe better. The patient is unable to remember what medications he was taking and says it is too much trouble to keep a medication list.
1. What might you expect or do regarding pharmacologic management of the atrial fib?
What might you expect/do regarding pharmacologic management for the elevated BP?
What might you expect/do regarding pharmacologic management for the chest pain?
What might you expect/do regarding pharmacologic management for the Class III heart failure?
The patient’s labs come in: lipid panel shows elevation of all values. What might you expect/do regarding pharmacologic management of the elevated lipids?

rite a 4-page section of a request for proposal (RPF) in which you address the topics of visual perception and face identification.
Recent technologies employed in the study of the brain regions regulating speech are helping scientists better understand the neural basis of human behaviors interacting with the world. For example, MRI imaging studies are revealing other areas within the brain that may also play a role in language and reading. Another example is that both Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas are fundamental to speech ability, but the specific mechanism of how each play into oral language is still unclear. This is still a new area that challenges psychologists, neurologists, and speech therapists.
Humans use different parts of their brain to discriminate objects from people. In fact, we may have specialized neurons for recognizing faces. This relates to the main theme of this assessment: vision and visual perception. Many questions about human vision are unanswered. For example, different areas of the brain respond differently to visual recognition tasks, but how and why these areas cooperate to process visual information remains unclear. Another example: The visual cortex contains several layers, the functional roles of which are the subject of intense investigation. Questions include, “Why might the brain specialize to the point where a single neuron is dedicated to the recognition of a specific object or person?” and “What factors or cues do you think would influence how these neurons specialize and what they ultimately respond to?”
Assignment:
In Assessments 1–3, you completed three parts of a request for proposal (RFP) from a nearby school district that is seeking individuals or groups to design a training and professional development in-service day about the brain and mind from a biopsychological perspective for their educators.
For this assessment, use the Assessment 4 Proposal Template (linked in the Additional Files) to create Part 4 of the RTF by connecting visual perception and face recognition to how understanding these two theories could help educators to be aware of ingrained biases.
Complete the following two sections:
X. Face Recognition
1. Describe studies and theories that explain face recognition. Are people better at recognizing faces that are different or similar to their own? What does the research say about this?
2. Analyze the neurological mechanisms that are involved, and explain why.
XI. Application of These Theories
1. Connect face recognition theory to how this explains an educator’s own biases.
2. Provide strategies or ways for educators to check their perceptions and face recognition biases when relating to students and parents, as well as when recalling information about students and a situation.

You are a consultant who works for the Diligent Consulting Group. In this Case, you are engaged on a consulting basis by Loving Organic Foods. In order to get a better idea of what might have motivated customers’ buying habits you are asked to analyze the ages of the customers who have purchased organic foods over the past 3 months. Past research done by the Diligent Consulting Group has shown that different age groups buy certain products for different reasons. Loving Organic Foods has sent a survey to 200 customers who have previously purchased organic foods, and 124 customers have responded. The survey includes age data of past customers who purchased organic foods in the previous quarter.

Case Assignment

Using Excel, create a frequency distribution (histogram) of the age data that was captured from the survey. You should consider the width of the age categories (e.g., 5 years, 10 years, or other). That is, which age category grouping provides the most useful information? Once you have created this histogram, determine the mean, median, and mode.

After you have reviewed the data, write a report to your boss that briefly describes the results that you obtained. Make a recommendation on how this data might be used for marketing purposes. Be sure to conduct adequate research on organic foods industry, organic market analysis, and healthy food industry using IBISWorld database or other databases such as Business Source Complete (EBSCO) and Business Source Complete – Business Searching Interface in our online library. Provide a brief description on the industry background and the consumer changing attitudes and behavior toward healthy lifestyles. Also identify the customer demographics of organic food industry and explain how the customers of Loving Organic Foods are different from this target market.

Data: Download the Excel-based data file with the age data of the 124 customers: Data chart for BUS520 Module 1 Case. Use these data in Excel to create your histogram

For this Assignment, you will examine an infant case study to determine short-term developmental outcomes.

An infant male, Sam, was born to Jane and Roberto. Jane works in the city as a medical transcriptionist but requested 12 weeks of family leave effective immediately upon Sam’s birth.

Sam was born 6 weeks premature, by Cesarean delivery. His Apgar score at 1 minute was 5; after receiving oxygen, his Apgar score at 5 minutes was 8. Apart from the first few minutes after birth, Sam has not required oxygen or respiratory assistance. Because of his prematurity, Sam stayed in the hospital for 72 hours before he was discharged.

Jane drank occasionally throughout the pregnancy but reported drinking most heavily during the last trimester of her pregnancy, which was about the time Roberto got laid off from his job. There is suspicion, although not confirmed, that Sam has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Sam is a fussy eater, requiring short and frequent feedings. He has been home for 2 weeks and wakes up hungry every 2 hours. He does not sleep through the night.

Roberto and Jane live in a house in a rural area. They do not have a network of friends and family who live nearby who can help, but Jane’s mother has offered to move in with them temporarily. Roberto and Jane’s mother get along very well. Jane is debating whether she should reduce her family leave and go back to work earlier than she had planned.
Many of the details in the above case study have purposely been left ambiguous (e.g., ethnicity, geographic location, etc.) so that you can make some conjectures of your own and relate that to Sam’s short-term and long-term prognosis.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper and include the following:
Explain the environmental factors presented in the Case Study, as well as others that may be present but not specifically identified in the Case Study that might affect Sam’s development.
With the environmental factors you explained, further explain what you think the best case scenario and the worst case scenario might be for Sam’s short-term developmental outcomes and explain why.
Be specific, provide examples, and justify your response with citations from the Learning Resources/literature.
