Medical Office Management Questions Discussion

Need help with my Management question – I’m studying for my class.

 

ASSIGNMENT 8

H01 Medical Office Management 1

Directions: Be sure to save an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English, spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) double-spaced pages; refer to the “Assignment Format” page located on the Course Home page for specific format requirements.

In Lessons 5 through 8, you learned about the administrative requirements of medical assistants. You learned about patient reception, appointment scheduling, office technology, correspondence, medical records, billing and collections, medical insurance, medical claims and coding, and office management duties. For this written assignment, the concepts learned from Lessons 5–8 will be applied. Please review the learning objectives for Lessons 5–8 prior to beginning work on this assignment.

Complete Parts A, B, C, and D for this assignment.

Part A: A pharmaceutical representative has just arrived at the office of Dr. Joseph Henderson, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. The waiting room is swarming with patients waiting to see Dr. Henderson, because he was delayed with an unexpectedly complicated lumbar spinal fusion and laminectomy.

The representative is very insistent, almost belligerent, about seeing the physician immediately, even though she did not have an appointment to see him. In fact, the visit was totally unexpected, as the representative had just been in two weeks ago. Last time the representative was in, she gave Dr. Henderson a variety of readily usable and dispensable medications. She has more of the same today—injectable cortisone with Novocain, muscle relaxants, NSAIDs, and even some Tylenol with codeine. Usually, Dr. Henderson is quite receptive to receiving these samples, as they help ease the financial burden on his patients for whom he uses or to whom he dispenses these samples. The office is, in fact, running quite low on these particular medications because of Dr. Henderson’s heavy patient load.

Provide detailed answers for each of the following questions. Your response should be at least 150 words in length.

What is your response to the sales representative?

Should a sales representative ever take precedence over scheduled appointments?

Does the fact that Dr. Henderson is usually quite anxious to receive any and all samples for his patients enter in as a factor?

Does the diminished supply of these samples alter the situation?

Can the medical assistant ever accept delivery of any or all of these samples?

Part B: Dr. Jonas runs a private practice. He admits patients and makes rounds in two local hospitals. He uses one type of EHR software in his private office and two other packages in the two hospitals. Not only must Dr. Jonas learn three software systems, but he also may at times be unable to move patient information between those systems because of incompatibility. What might Dr. Jonas do to address these issues? Your response should be at least 100 words in length.

Part C: Lisa Medina, a certified coder, performs medical coding for a large multi-specialty clinic. You have just been hired as Lisa’s assistant. She has asked you to review the encounter forms for the day, on which physicians have checked off the diagnoses of each patient. You notice that Dr. Parker, an endocrinologist, has checked off the box for Diabetes unspecified for most of his patients without checking off any manifestations or complications. You think this is unusual because many diabetic patients do have complications.

Provide detailed answers for each of the following questions. Your response should at least 150 words in length.

What are the options for handling this situation?

Which option would you select? Give three reasons for your choice.

With whom should you consult before acting on your choice?

Part D: Sarah Egan is the office manager in Dr. Williams’s practice. Nell Jacobs, who has worked as a CMA (AAMA) in the office for one year, has frequently been absent or tardy on Mondays. Sarah suspects that Nell has a drinking problem. However, Nell has never arrived at the office intoxicated—until today. Sarah has just observed Nell stumbling in the parking lot when getting out of her car. Her speech is slurred, and her breath has a fruity odor that Sarah thinks could be alcohol. Nell does not appear to understand anything that Sarah is saying to her.

Provide detailed answers for each of the following questions. Your response should at least 250 words in length.

Given the situation, as the office manager, what should Sarah do immediately regarding Nell?

If Sarah decides to send Nell home, should she call Nell’s husband to come and get her, or, perhaps, insist that Nell go home in a cab?

Does Sarah have an obligation to tell Dr. Williams about her suspicions regarding Nell?

Should this incident become part of Nell’s employment record?

Is this incident grounds for firing an employee?

Because Nell is a CMA (AAMA) and works with patients, is it within Sarah’s rights to demand a blood and urine screening for alcohol and drugs?

Should the police be notified of the incident?

If Nell is indeed intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol, is Sarah obligated to refer Nell to counseling at an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility?

HI150 Automation of Health Information

CLASSMATE POST #1

After looking at the example and simulated EHR last week it is clear that using the EHR keeps data consistent and easy to access. This improves the quality be allowing for a specific space for each piece of information and giving the indication of what is required for the chart to be complete.

 

The majority of the data that was collected in the demo would be gathered in the CDI program. The chief complaint and ICD 10 or other related procedure and diagnosis codes would be used for “quality reporting, reimbursement, disease tracking, and other administrative and clinical processes” (Monica, 2018). This would allow for higher opportunities of improvement and training.

CLASSMATE POST #2

Hello Professor and Class,

EHR can help improve data quality by being easily accessible. EHR also helps keep patient data more organized and more comfortable to extract. EHR’s also make reoccurring reminders and alerts for patients and physicians. EHR data quality affects the validity of research results, and this is why it’s vital to have good data quality. After last week’s simulation of EHR, I noticed just how important it is to have good data quality. I did not find the simulation user-friendly, and I found a few things very hard to find within the EHR. To have useful quality data can save time for physicians looking and searching for something within the EHR and more time with the patient.

Clinical Documentation Improvement is a program that is created of a dedicated team of healthcare professionals that will make sure that the medical record documentation will reflect the patient’s diagnoses, care provided, and their quality of care provided. In contrast, that patient received care from the provider.

CLASSMATE POST #4

Hello Class and Professor,

Adaptive immunity is two different types of immunity known as cell-mediated and antibody-mediated. Both types of organs can have negative effects when someone has an organ transplant, and both are triggered by antigens. Cell-mediated immunity is when the tissue sustained injury during cell isolation or organ retrieval which gets the adaptive response going. T cells get responses for activation with two of them being antigen recognition and costimulation. These rejections can happen very early on or late after transplantation (Wood, Zaitsu, Goto, 2013). Antibody-mediated immunity is when allograft rejection is caused by antibodies against donor specific HLA molecules, endothelial cell antigens or a blood group antigen. This usually happens right away and can be resistant to therapy and threatens the graft from healing properly and having a good outcome (Singh, Pirsch, Samaniego 2009).

When a rejection occurs, there are a few options for how they will treat it. This well depend though on how bad the rejection is, what type of rejection it is and how severe it is. Sometimes if it happens quickly it can be treated right away rather than someone not knowing that is what is going on and it gets worst. When a rejection occurs, the goal is to suppress the immune system. To do this they will put you on an antibiotic that can either be oral or through an iv. Which they choose and how high of a dosage it is will depend on the severity of the rejection. A lot of times people who have rejection ends up needing to take these medications for the rest of their lives (Dugdale, 2019).

There are four different types of grafts, they include autografts, isografts, allografts and xenografts. Autograft is when you have a skin graft done using skin from your own body to do so. Allograft is when you use skin from a donor’s body to complete the skin graft. Being sure that you have a donor that matches you the best as possible is the most important thing when doing a allograft. The person receiving the graft may also be given anti-rejection meds before hand to ensure that their body does not reject it (Dugdale, 2019).

The skin cell gun is a new thing that was developed in 2008. This is basically a gun that regenerates skin cells. This is done by using it like a paint gun and sprays your own skin cells onto the burn. This is generally used for people who have large burns that cover a good portion of there body. If they can continue to find that this works it will help with healing time, scarring, and reduce infections. This would be huge for second and third degree burns as they are the worst and can take a long time to heal and cause a lot of scarring (Yetman, 2020).

I am all for finding new ways to improve faster recovery times and what not. I think that it is neat when someone needs to, they can use their own stem cells. I feel that using things from your own body would be best as your le
