Studies have found that coded data collected with a sole focus on reimbursement can poorly affect the use of the data for other purposes. Coded data goes farther and does more than ever before, making it imperative that professionals stay up to date of many rapid changes. One of the biggest changes is the expansion of coding from its traditional role of translating narrative clinical text into diagnosis and procedure codes. Coded data are now used for purposes such as severity adjustment, quality of care assessment, patient safety evaluation, public health surveillance, and decision support process development. Coding must meet an emerging need to capture healthcare data in a standard format that has universal meaning and can be applied both at the individual and aggregate levels. With this expansion come additional new responsibilities, such as entry of health information into a database and the need to understand how the quality and accuracy of the data are

This case study will focus on the HCAPHS scoring time frame between September, 2014 and September, 2015, and occurred in a community based, not-for profit, 451 licensed bed hospital.

My observations in my role at CHS leaves me saddened at the current state of the health care industry. While working on the clinical side of health care, I basically only saw things from the patient care perspective. I did not understand why insurance companies would refuse coverage to patients or denied payment to the providers. I have witnessed the sick versus the healthy leading to disparity in health insurance coverage. Insurance companies tend to ostracize or avoid the sick people that need the coverage while covering the healthy people instead (Morone, Litman, & Robins, 2009). I thought that the payers were only concerned with not paying for health care. However, once I came to the financial side, I learned of how much hospitals

The purpose of a comprehensive health assessment and physical examination is to get a better understanding of the patient, the patient’s physical health, and any other factors or historical information that may be of use in diagnosing or maintaining adequate health. According to Bickley (2013), a comprehensive assessment should usually be done when initially seeing a new patient “and includes all elements of the health history and the complete physical examination” (p. 4). For example, if a brand new female patient came into the doctor’s office and complained of a breast lump the nurse practitioner would want to do a full comprehensive health assessment to figure out any family history or any other issues within the body
