Code refactoring

Survey of Software Refactoring Summary: The paper published by Tom Mens and Tom Tourwe provides us an overview of existing research in software refactoring. The refactoring activities, techniques, formalisms and the types of artifacts are taken into criteria. Since the software has been evolving with time, the code has become more complex, hence the software development cost’s major part is given to software maintenance. Refactoring or restructuring is the problem which implies the need of techniques

Software Engineering Assignment 1 A Survey of Software Refactoring An intrinsic property of software in a real-world environment is its need to evolve. As the software enhanced, modified, and adapted to new requirements, code becomes more complex and drifts away from original design, thereby lowering the quality of the software. Because of this, the major part of the total software development cost is devoted to software maintenance. Better software development methods and tools do not solve this

quality can be achieved through using refactoring which improves the internal structure of a software without changing its external behavior. However, refactoring effects the quality attributes of software such as reusability, complexity, maintainability, flexibility, modularity, modifiability, and understandability. Thus there is a need to proof the imprint of refactoring on the software quality. This paper will propose a software development model under the refactoring method concept. In addition, an

The article “The Importance of Medical Coding as it Applies to Big Data Trends in Healthcare” talked about the importance of medical coding in relation to hospital’s data systems. Medical coding is a numerical process that brings diagnoses and healthcare systems together. It allows hospitals, physician offices and clinics to share patient information via big data trends. The article stressed that having access to medical trends from many sources is a valuable tool for healthcare facilities. Medical

included in the code and is important in diagnosis coding. Mrs. Pavey mention we can't code impending or threatened instead code the signs and symptoms. In order to prove medical necessity and get reimbursement I will say both are important. I think all topics are relevant to learn coding. We need to learn it all if we are going to be coding. Example of level of specificity Diagnosis: RUQ abdominal pain Index: Pain, abdominal Tabular: 789.0 Abdominal pain[subcategory code] 789.01 Right

I think transitioning over to ICD-10-CM will make coding easier by being more specific with the descriptions. I think that the biggest challenge is going to be just learning the different sections of the ICD-10-CM. Some other challenges may include training in ICD-10-CM, the cost of the transition, and maintaining two coding systems because some private insurance like workman compensation insurance are not required to switch over to ICD-10-CM. I believe that we have had ICD-9 since 1979 with updates

accepted set of codes for diagnoses and procedures/interventions important? In the prior weeks, I had noted that many health care professionals utilize many different methods of practice, as well as implement a certain something to each of the medical cases that reflects that clinician’s style. No matter the endless routes to get to a diagnosis or the many diverse recommendations of treatment for that diagnosis, codes are the same. The medical field having a universal set of codes for diagnoses and

either in a medical office or in a remote area coding for specific diagnoses. Medical Coding is a translation of a health care diagnosis, procedure, medical services and equipment into a medical numeric or alphanumeric codes. Medical Coders review clinical statements and assign standard codes

for the patient must be transcribed into the correct codes. Along with these codes, there must be sufficient supporting information documented in the patient record. When the supporting evidence is not there, that line will either be down-coded or the billing being rejected. A rejected bill requires more time and effort by the physician’s staff to correct the issue and resubmit it. Billing with the correct primary, sub and supporting codes will prevent the extra work and possible loss of money

When looking at how online forums effects civility, Papacharisssi (2011) suggest viewing technology as an architecture which blurs the line between public and private spaces. Online discussions merge the social, cultural, political, and economical into merging yet fragmented spaces. With this framework, the presents of civility or incivility should be viewed as a dependent of the context of the topic and website (Coe et. al., 2014; Herbst, 2010). Reader (2012) argues that incivility may be a reflection
