b) What are three important uses of this information at the store by the store manager and three important uses of this information by management at the headquarters– a total of six uses?

This can cause delay in payment, rebilling, and more work for the follow-up representative. Disadvantages of the evaluation has preconceived expectations can be hard when each specialist in billing deals with different providers. Having a standard when the same rules do not apply to each payer can be difficult to make an accurate evaluation. For example, if one biller does commercial claims and the edits are fix it errors compared to Medicare that has several different edit errors, rules, and guidelines that need to be followed. A Medicare biller has to consider different billing edits for medically necessity, medically unlikely errors, modifiers, and 3-day
The documents were prepared internally and this was a potential problem because they could have been altered by anyone within the company. When documentation such as delivery receipts are obtained from an independent source outside the company, it provides a greater assurance of reliability for the auditor. Grant Thornton should have used the delivery receipts as a basis but further obtained other forms prepared by external entities such as the Form 9540-1 prepared by the USDA official, and the notification form that the customs broker prepared. These forms are slightly more difficult to alter because a third party indirectly related to the company prepares them. Grant Thornton should have cross-referenced these forms and looked for any discrepancies.
The medical coder will need to make sure that codes are not being unbundled and the global period pertains to surgical procedures. Next the coder would need to compare the providers evaluation and management codes with the national average. When this is done patterns of fraud may be able to be seen. Using modifiers correctly is also a part of the compliance strategy. Modifiers help with duplicate billing and unbundling of codes.
For example, a large person generally needs more of a drug than a smaller person needs for the same effect. Whether people take a drug as instructed also affects their response to it. These factors may affect how the body absorbs the drug, how the body breaks down and eliminates the drug, or what effects the drug has on the body. Because so many factors affect drug response, doctors and pharmacists must choose a drug appropriate for each person and must adjust the dose carefully. This process is more complex if the person takes other drugs and has other diseases, because drug-drug and drug-disease interactions are possible.
L.L.Bean Case 1. How does L.L. Bean use past demand data and a specific item forecast to decide how many units of that item to stock? They know how to forecast demand at the aggregate level, but for each item in the catalog (with does not necessarily match existing supply) they have to forecast demand as well. An advantage is that they know each time a customer orders an item that is not in stock anymore.
They also struggle with the ability to agree to take ethical responsibilities of on-site catastrophes, leaks, spills and misfortunes. ( Buzzle n.d.) The pharmaceutical companies struggle with the situation of whether or not to make merchandise recalls if certain harmful information about them comes to surface, these are ethical issues that all organizations must be prepared for. What lesson could the management in the simulation (case #1) learn and apply to their business strategy from cases #2 and #3? It seems as though the organizations involved in case one could learn to apply international law,
Managing Inventory at Frito - Lay Question 1: How does the mix of Frito – Lay’s inventory differ from those at a machine or cabinet shop? (A process – focused facility)? The mix of Frito – Lay’s inventory differ from those at a machine or cabinet shop because it is a product focused facility and invested a lot on its’ capital equipment. This means Frito – Lay must keep a reliable inventory of maintenance, repair and operating supplies (MRO) whereas the cabinet shop does not need high upkeep of MRO compared to Frito – Lay. Cabinet or machine shop keeps high volume of raw materials, work – in – progress (WIP) and final products in inventory as they have variations in their order basis.
With this being the case, antipsychotic medications often have side effects that need to be monitored regularly by the health professionals (Young et al, 2011). Compliance is often a challenge with patients either because of the unmanageable side effects they experience or through limited insight. It is a role of the health professionals involved in the care to closely monitor this behaviour, as the effectiveness of the treatment may be affected (Young et al, 2011). Keller, Drexler &Lichtenberg (2009) discuss the benefits of treating paranoid schizophrenia with atypical antipsychotic medication clozapine and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). However both forms of treatment are linked with harsh side effects.
Continuous monitoring of pharmacy processes is crucial in the identification and prevention of errors. (ASHP, 2011) Problem Statement It has been said that “to err is human,” but in the pharmacy, medication errors are generally caused by failure of the system, not by individual staff failures. Because of their complexity and the numerous process opportunities for breakdown, medication management procedures need to be monitored and improved on an ongoing basis. This paper will explore the varied aspects involved in the development of a strategic plan for planning and implementing an automated, outpatient pharmacy operation. Decision making based on a thorough review of information from existing management and operational systems is viewed as an intervening mechanism between a pharmacy’s context and its effectiveness.
