  1. After reviewing several of the proposed rules I selected Extension of Grace Period Related to the “Four Walls” for Indian Health Service and Tribal Facilities. This rule is mostly about Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for tribal facilities.

Culture is the values, customs, social structures, beliefs and patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that provide meaning and significance to human behavior.

For non-English speaking people they are more likely to experience medial errors, misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment or poorer outcomes unfortunately due to the language barriers, misunderstandings and miscommunication (Ausmed, 2021). Aspects that should be considered are genetic differences between cultural groups that can cause different illness, beliefs, values, and cultural practices.

OUTLINE DETAILS OF PAPER

Explain the Revenue Cycle and its role in a hospital. 

Provide an example of revenue cycle workflow processes, and how these departments may operate together.  

What are some creative ways that Todd can help Anywhere Hospital understand the
importance of an integrated revenue cycle team?

How can a manager improve teamwork among his/her employees? Explain your answer.

 Issue:

Anywhere Hospital’s CFO for the past 20 years, Jim Smith, just retired. He worked for the hospital for 40 years and was greatly respected by his staff. The hospital governing board has hired a new CFO, Todd White.

Jim Smith utilized the silo approach to revenue cycle management during his tenure.

He relied on his key management personnel to contact upper management of other departments in the hospital to discuss issues and to resolve problems and vice versa.

Todd White, however, had implemented an integrated revenue cycle team at his former hospital three years ago and strongly believed in the power of teamwork. His previous team had gained numerous efficiencies and improved accounts receivable by millions.

So, when Todd started at Anywhere Hospital, he planned to implement a similar revenue cycle team.

As with any change, Todd was met with much resistance. But after speaking with many of his managers in patient accounts and finance, he realized that the employees did not know how to effectively work in teams. And why should they—the previous CFO had not asked them to do so in several years.

Analyze and synthesize the components of a complete psychiatric assessment with clinical interventions, based on evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and theoretical knowledge.

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to analyze and synthesize the components of a complete psychiatric assessment with clinical interventions, based on evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and theoretical knowledge. This assignment allows you to demonstrate your ability to complete a full mental health assessment of your selected client’s current, psychological, physical, and social functioning. You should be able to demonstrate critical thinking and to correlate theory and practice.
Select a client or case that you have worked within either your practice or your practicum setting. Ensure that you correctly redact the appropriate information (name, etc.).
Prepare a full mental health evaluation on your client. Use the resources presented in the course to help guide your evaluation. Kaplan & Saddock’s Synopsis of Psychiatry has a robust list of the categories of information you should collect and present in your evaluation report (5.1. Parts of the Initial Psychiatric Interview). This should include the following:
A full psychiatric, physical, social, family, and work history including verbal reports of the client, your observations of the client, and a summary of any diagnostic aids that you have used.
The use of at least one psychiatric screening or assessment tool from the literature to assist in your assessment of the client
A full physical assessment in addition to the mental status exam and psychiatric history
Develop a DSM-5 diagnostic assessment:
Support your diagnosis through a thoughtful, evidence-based analysis of the data collected in your evaluation.
Propose a practical, evidence-based plan of care:
Keep in mind the role of the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner is to assess all aspects of the patient’s health status, including health promotion, health protection, and disease prevention. Psychiatric care is interdisciplinary. Your plan of care may include the use of other mental health professionals for the delivery of appropriate care. For example, someone who has been chronically out of work and whose unemployed status has contributed to his or her depression might require social work or educational assessment to address that aspect of the client’s poor psychological functioning.

Requirements
1.Support your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan with appropriate literature citations.
2. The paper should be no more than 8 pages in length, not including a title page and references.
3. Use current APA formatting and citations.
4. Acronyms should not be used.
5. The assessment must be well written and be of professional quality. It must be clear, logically developed, and free of spelling, grammatical, and syntactical errors. Use full sentences.
6. The psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner employs evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to guide screening activities, identifies health promotion needs, and provides anticipatory guidance and counseling addressing environmental, lifestyle, and developmental issues.
