Morse code

I dreamt of walking on Commonwealth Ave. I envisioned myself entering the Morse Auditorium, books in hand, eager to learn. Ever since I had visited the eclectic city of Boston in 2006, I knew it was the right fit for me. I knew that the city itself, along with the remarkable academic resources that Boston University offers would allow me to grow socially and mentally. Until this day I ask questions on end from my comrades at the BU, impatient to learn more and more about their lives on and off campus

the schools rule to not promote illegal drugs (Supreme Court). The case was brought to the Supreme Court, Morse v. Fredrick (2007), and they held, 5-4, that the “school authorities do not violate the First Amendment when they stop students from expressing views that may be interpreted as promoting illegal drug use” (uscourts.gov). Although in this case the Supreme Court was in favor of Morse, this is not always the case. Students do have limited free speech on high school campuses, however in the

administrators go too far in various situations. In a broad sense, I think free speech in schools goes just far enough. Controversy over how students can use symbolic speech stems from ignorance of the learning environment. Many of my peers argue that the dress code in school is a violation of free speech. I approach it through simple necessities. Are controversial clothes a necessity for a school to function? A reasonable person would say no. Having said that, is an environment where students efficiently learn

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
