media piece

To Prepare
  • Review the interactive media piece assigned by your Instructor.

coding

As part of your internship with South Padre Medical Center, you are working under the supervision of the coding supervisor, Marla Kauffman. The clinic’s CDI Director, George Bowman, wants to better educate the physicians on the importance of accurate and complete medical records.  Therefore, George is planning on beginning a series of education sessions every month. He has asked Marla to prepare a presentation on proper documentation.

Marla thinks that helping with this presentation would be a wonderful opportunity for you during your internship so that you can learn how to improve clinical documentation by identifying some key elements that are missing or unclear inpatient documentation. Marla’s plan for the presentation is to present some cases and examples where the coders did not have the information they needed to code. Marla has asked you to assist in preparing for this presentation by identifying any missing or unclear information from four patient records and drafting a PowerPoint presentation on your findings.

Because you are a new coder, Marla also thinks it would be helpful for you to research the importance of proper documentation and ways to ensure documentation is complete and accurate and then include information from your research findings into your PowerPoint presentation.

Annotated Bibliography

Assignment: Annotated Bibliography

Submit: Annotated Bibliography

This week culminates in your submission of an annotated bibliography that should consist of an introduction, followed by two quantitative article annotations, two qualitative article annotations, and two mixed methods article annotations for a total of six annotations, followed by a conclusion.

An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation. Each annotation consists of a summary, analysis, and application for the purpose of conveying the relevance and value of the selected source. As such, annotations demonstrate a writer’s critical thinking about and authority on the topic represented in the sources.

In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful precursor for gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review.

Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation.

  • Use the Walden library databases or a credible source to search for quantitativequalitative, and mixed methods research articles from peer-reviewed journals on your topic of interest.
  • Before you read the full article and begin your annotation, locate the methodology section in the article to be sure that it describes the appropriate research design.
  1. For quantitative research articles, confirm that a quantitative research design, such as a quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental, was used in the study.
  2. For qualitative research articles, confirm that a qualitative research design or approach, such as narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, or phenomenology, was used in the study.
  3. For mixed methods research articles, confirm that a mixed methods research (MMR) design was used in the study. There are several design classifications in MMR; some examples of MMR types or families of design are parallel, concurrent, sequential, multilevel, or fully integrated mixed methods design.
  • Prepare an annotated bibliography that includes the following:
  1. A one-paragraph introduction that provides context for why you selected the six research articles you did: two quantitative, two qualitative, and two MMR.
  2. A reference list entry in APA Style for each of the six articles that follows proper formatting. Follow each reference list entry with a three-paragraph annotation that  includes:
  3. An application as illustrated in this example
  4. An analysis
  5. summary
  6. A one-paragraph conclusion that presents a synthesis of the six articles.
  7. Format your annotated bibliography in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. A separate References list page is not needed for this assignment.

Human Research Protection 

Human Research Protection

During this course, you will learn the components required for a research study. Each week you will learn components of the research process through your readings and application of the knowledge gained to published research articles.

During this week, you are expected to examine the protection of human subjects in research from early research studies, through the development of research codes to current research standards. The aim is to familiarize you with the ethical issues associated with research and gain firsthand information of the processes used to protect research participants.

Male & Female Reproductive System

Male & Female Reproductive System

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research the conditions affecting the male and female reproductive systems. Based on your research and understanding, respond to one of the following scenarios:

Scenario 2:

A 44-year-old obese female is admitted to the emergency room with fever and severe abdominal pain on the upper right side that radiates to the scapula. She states that she feels nauseated. She states that the pain began at a friend’s house during a party and is becoming more severe. You can see that she is quite uncomfortable.

  1. What could be the underlying cause of these symptoms?
  2. What examinations would you perform? Why?
  3. What laboratory tests would be needed to confirm possible differential diagnoses?
  4. What pharmaceutical drugs are approved for treating the diagnosis that you concluded for this case?

1stSubheading 

This is the assignment directions:

The Literature Review provides the background and context for the research problem and illustrates to the reader that the researcher is knowledgeable about the study. This section shares with the reader the results of others studies that closely related to the study being reported. It also related a study to the larger, ongoing dialogue in the literature about a topic, filling in gaps and extending prior studies.  Summarize previous studies related to a topic them in a succinct manner. In a proposal, the literature review is generally brief and to the point.

Review various articles and dissertations, as they may help one to understand how to write and summarize previous research. When writing the literature review, it is wise to separate the various studies one finds into different categories.  Under these categories, create “Level 2 subheadings” in APA style. These subheadings are formatted just like Level 1 headings, but they are aligned left. See the subheadings below for an example.

1stSubheading

Choose one evident theme or topic that became apparent when researching your study. Briefly share the results of the various studies, including the most pertinent information such as the studies’ hypotheses, population, methodology, and results.Relate the study to an ongoing dialogue of the literature pertaining to the research topic. This means that each study one lists should relate to new, proposed study in some way. Report the studies sequentially if possible, building upon the findings of prior studies. Remember to separate each category of studies with a new subheading. Do this as many times as needed.  another evident theme or topic that became apparent when researching your study.

The topic I have written Is: Yoga and Decreased Levels of Depression in the Elder Population.

You will need to find 8-10 articles relevant to this topic and write in the literature review about it. Again It has to be 4 pages long. And all articles must be cited in APA format
