INTRO In the world we live in today, more employers than ever before are looking to hire individuals who have experience with computer programming and coding. The growing job market in this field requires that more students learn these skills in order to bring their knowledge into the workplace. However, some students do not have this opportunity, as they have never been introduced to computer sciences. There are several reasons why this may occur, but one of the most prevalent is that students from low-income families do not have the necessary tools to learn and enhance their skills. In order to prevent this misfortune, action must be taken. James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner say, in their book The Leadership Challenge, that, “Meeting new challenges always requires things to be different than they currently are. You can’t respond with the same old solutions” (Kouzes and Posner 159). Thus, in order to prevent students with less opportunities to learn about computer science and coding, new solutions must be developed. We, the members of Cluster 6, have created a proposal that could help fight this problem. By looking closely at how aspects of the problem have arisen, and thinking of ways to help prevent them, we have created a course of action that would certainly help less fortunate students strengthen their skills in the field of computer sciences.
HISTORY AND CONTEXT
Today, the typical school calendar has school beginning in late August to early September and ending in
In order to accommodate the year round calendar, there are several forms of year round education. The first form follows a single track calendar. This is the most popular type of calendar (Shields, 2000). A single track year is usually implemented to “provide a more balanced and enriched education program or to accommodate the special scheduling needs of a community” (Glines, 2002, 2699). A single track calendar takes on a 45/15 design. This is where students go to school for forty-five days in a row, and then have a fifteen day break. It is a continuous cycle. Schools usually begin in early August, and follow this pattern four times to complete the school year (Glines, 2002). The three week break in between is called an intersession. During this time, students can choose to take additional educational courses through “remedial,
As viewed by many HIM professionals Computer-assisted coding is a valuable tool for enhancing the effectiveness of coding and billing. CAC software scans medical documentation in the electronic health record (EHRs) using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, identifying key terminology and proposing codes for that specific treatment or service. Human coder then revised these codes. CAC can also investigate the background of key words to conclude whether they need coding.
Computer Science is a fast growing field and is currently in high demand. The world has gotten to the point where we all depend on computers, whether we like it or not. It has become a necessity to teach people how to program computers in order to meet the demands for this field. Computer Science should be a graduation requirement in American high schools because of its impact on critical thinking and an individual’s future financial opportunities.

Computer assisted coding has been adopted by most healthcare organizations in order for their overall applications to have enhanced production. This would improve the coding accuracy, Consistency, Transparency, and Compliance to create a smoother transition towards using CAC technology on a regular basis. Computer assisted coding provides a natural-language processing (NLP) that is used as a software scan towards medical documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) system. This can become an identifying key terminology that suggests certain codes for that particular treatment or service. The natural-language processing focuses on interpreting unstructured records by using special algorithms to support the codes. These unstructured applications
Due to the growing inpatient/outpatient requirements, as well as the impending update to the ICD-10 codes; the spearfish regional hospital is in dire need of a new Computer assisted coding system (CACS) with ICD-10 code language. This technologies will assist the coding department with their day to day processes, as well as allow the hospital to continue with its growth to meet the higher demands of our growing community. Included in this report will be a detailed report of the technologies being requested, as well as information on these vendors 3M, Nuance, and Optum who can supply these
Is the traditional school calendar really the best option for your local school system? Maybe, having a year-round schooling system would be best. Year-round education is when schools operate on a 180 day school calendar with frequent breaks. Year-round calendars also don’t include a long summer vacation(Melissa Kelly, February 21,2017). A traditional school in America has a 10-month school calendar, but, many are switching to the year-round calendar. Some are switching to maintain more consistent instruction. A few others are switching in order to save money(Grace Chen, July 2017, Public School Review). There are over 3,000 year-round schools in the United States today. Year-round schools first started in major cities or towns like, Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit. But, Los Angeles has the most year-round schools, over 500, in the nation. And there are only 10% of public school students who attend a year-round school. This can be beneficial for both teachers,students and even the families involved. The dropout rate is 2% lower than traditional schools( Niche ,2016). The absence rate is also lower, about 1% lower to be exact. This type of system can increase the school building capacity which means there’s no overcrowding. More education would be provided to lower income families or a child that is disabled. Studies also show that year-round schools have higher test scores than traditional schools. Changing the traditional school calendar
Since some year round schools have multitrack calendars, the school
In America most public schools go to school on a 10-month system established when America was mainly agriculture, and the children had to work in the fields during the summer. Year-round school was first used in the early 1900s to fight overcrowding and underfunding. It wasn’t until the 60s that year-round school was used again when a school in California became the first school to use it since 1904. I believe that the school schedule is fine the way it is. Some of the cons of year-round school are students can’t have summer jobs, most programs such as lunch and buses cost more, and extracurricular conflicts.
Year round school calendars aren’t the best idea we’ve had to improve our educational systems. This is just one of many ideas we’ve had. Year round schooling has affected families, students, and required maintenance in many negative ways.
The trends one can find when reading through the articles found under the AHIMA Body of Knowledge pertaining to the coding function is relative to the use of computer-assisted coding, implementation of Electronic Health Record (HER), and the transition to ICD-10-CM.
Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Systems are international qualifications, enabling people to work globally, and in a very broad variety of roles. There is steady growth in demand for technically adept and flexible IT graduates. Declining student enrollment, while growth continues in law, medicine, biology, economics, and business; the decline among women is particularly alarming (Klawe and Shneiderman 27). Computer science is now a part of everyone’s daily life through the innovations and technologies it enables. From transforming health care to enabling a more robust national defense, computer science is on the forefront of discovery, driving economic growth and transforming our
According to Saldana (2016), coding in qualitative analysis frequently refers to a word or a passage of text that symbolically attributes essence- capturing, salient, summative, and / or evocative attribute for a passage of text or visual information (p. 4).
Becoming a computer programmer would be great because there are many options in this career by having the ability to produce an operating system, or a game for the world. Computer programmers have many opportunities in life to find a job they would love. Programmers can work independently, or in a big company. Programmers have and are creating the future for computers.
September 13 is the day of the programmer. A day in which we celebrate the clever, and often mysterious, work programmers achieve that help the modern world keep spinning. Programmers come in many forms, from web developers and front-end developers (those who take the design of a website and bring it to life using an array of languages such as JavaScript, HTML and CSS) to software and application developers (those who gather feature requirements for software, design a solution and implement the intended features).
