Dr. Pearson has recently been hired into the Central City Internal Medicine Group as its fifth physician. He has recently completed his residency and is eager to enter private practice. Dr. Pearson is introduced to Meredith and Dawn, two members of the billing staff for the practice. Unbeknownst to Dr. Pearson, Meredith financially assists the practice in several ways. She bills procedures by using individual codes instead of comprehensive codes, has decided to bill Dr. Pearson’s services under the Medicare number of Dr. Craig (another Central City physician) until Dr. Pearson’s credentialing process has been completed, and habitually submits a claim more than once if she isn’t sure whether it has already been submitted or not.

1. Name the types of fraudulent billing that Meredith is conducting

. 2. Could Meredith be held liable for these activities?

3. Is Dr. Pearson subject to liability although he doesn’t know Meredith is conducting these activities?

4. Once Meredith’s activities are discovered, how should her conduct be addressed by her employer, Central City Internal Medicine?

5. What should Central City do to ensure these types of problems don’t occur in the future?

As you learned in Module Two Activity: Descriptive Statistics Quiz, thinking critically about your data and taking appropriate statistical approaches is what will enable you to perform the right calculations to draw appropriate conclusions. To prepare for Project One, in this milestone you will get to know your Project One data. This assignment will ensure that you are set up to succeed on your project, so make sure you review your instructor feedback thoroughly before submitting Project One, which is due in Module Four.

Overview

Your textbook notes that scales (e.g. Likert-type scales) are often treated as interval scales in applied statistics for the psychological and social sciences. This is true—but, as noted in the webtext, it is an area of debate even among those who do statistics regularly in these areas. We will, on occasion and for instructional purposes, follow this practice; however, for this assignment we want you to provide the most technically correct responses for all of these items rather than indicating how data might be treated in practice.

In this webtext, you’ve learned that as scales of measurement become more numeric in nature, you have more options for measures of central tendency and variability because you can perform more mathematical operations. As you respond to the prompts on this page, we would like you to select the measures of central tendency or variability that require the most mathematical computation that is reasonable to report, given the scale of measurement.

For example, if your data were interval or ratio, you could report a mode, a median, or a mean, but the mean would be the measure of central tendency requiring the most mathematical computation. Thus, we would want you to report “Mean” as the answer for a variable measured on such a scale.

In this assignment, you are going to complete a marketing plan as outlined in the beginning of Chapter 2 of your eTextbook. As you will recall, these are:

  • Build a cross-functional team.
  • Check the foundation and long-term business direction.
  • Clarify the goals and objectives.
  • Conduct a comprehensive analysis.
  • Recommend the most important strategies and tactics.
  • Check the numbers.
  • Sell the plan.
  • Execute and track progress.

You can discuss a project that you are familiar with, make up a marketing situation, or choose from the scenarios below.

Your marketing plan must show your own personalized approach. Ensure that you:

  • include specifics of what you would do, ask, or research in each step for the most effective outcomes;
  • show evidence of applied business principles and demonstrate your understanding of course and unit concepts;
  • explain key factors that will impact marketing for a diverse health care organization;
  • include any ethical consideration in your marketing plan;
  • explore a strategic marketing plan process;
  • explain how hospital (or other local) demographics factor into your plan; and
  • be sure to address any concerns you may have with impacts from the quality and consumer data for your hospital/organization.

Potential Examples:

  • Your practice has just hired a brand-new primary care doctor and needs to create a plan to start building a baseline of patients.
  • The emergency management organization you work for has seen decreasing use of its services since a competitor came to town a few months ago. You have been asked to create a plan to market your services to the local hospital in the hopes they will contract with your company.
  • The executive team at your hospital has decided to start a brand-new service offering acupuncture as a treatment for pain.

Your marketing plan must be five pages, not including the title and reference pages. You are encouraged to include graphics, charts, or other supporting material that will support or enhance your plan; however, these are not counted in the five-page written requirement.

You are required to use at least three sources to support your marketing plan, one of which may be your eTextbook. All sources used must have citations and references properly formatted in APA Style. APA formatting is otherwise not required.

EOL Project Exploration (Lab)

I’ve been following the EOL project since prior to 2012, as it was first developing. In November of 2018, its website had

had a big overhaul. Several positive changes were made, at that time. However, I regret that some of the old information

about ELO (that was available since its inception) is no longer available. For instance, the “What is EOL?” page

is much shorter than it used to be! In order for you to answer some of the following questions about the origins of the

EOL, please see use these additional resources:

1) The following wiki page has some information about the founding of EOL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_Life

2) More historical and general information about the EOL program is found here: https://naturalhistory.si.edu/research/eol

The EOL continues to grow — as does its value to the community of biologists as a whole! Overview:

Through this WebQuest-like activity you will learn more about a massive biological undertaking on the Internet. It is

called the Encyclopedia of Life and presently resides at http://www.eol.org . This collaborative effort will produce a

vast catalog of information about living organisms. The database is free and easily accessible by both experts and

novices in the biological sciences as well the general public.

Some details:

Use the information at the above links and in the “What is ELO?” section of the website to briefly answer the

following questions. Each answer is worth 5 points, except for question 8.

1) Summarize what the developers of the Encyclopedia of Life seek to accomplish.

2) Is there an intention for the EOL to also include extinct species? (see wiki)

3) When did the EOL go live? (see wiki)

4) What impact could the EOL have on science? …on the public at large?

5) Fill in the blanks from this sentence in the wiki: “The initiative relies on indexing information compiled by other

efforts, including the Sp2000 and ________, _________, _________ and the Assembling Tree of Life project of _______,

AmphibiaWeb, Mushroom explorer, microscope, etc.”

6) According to the information at https://naturalhistory.si.edu/research/eol , who is currently leading the EOL?

7 & 8) Even if you are not a scientist, how can you contribute to the ELO? (10 point question)

9) How do you search for a species?

Try it out:

To answer the following questions, use information presented in Module 6 along with what you discover on the EOL.

To search the EOL, enter the name of the organism in question using the search box at the top of the webpage. (5 points

each)

10) Of the taxonomic domains you learned of in Mod 6, in which would Solanum lycopersicum L. be found?

11) What is the common name for the organism with the scientific name, Solanum lycopersicum L.?

12) What is the scientific name of the Death Cap Mushroom?

13) Name 3 countries where the Death Cap Mushroom has been found.

14) In what taxonomic domain would Wolbachia pipientis be found?

15) Distribution: In what host might you find Wolbachia pipientis?

16) Besides killing the host, what is one of the potential effects of Wolbachia on its host?

17) What is the common name of Dictyostelium?

18) To what taxonomic kingdom does Dictyostelium belong?

19) What is the scientific name (Genus species) of the Peregrine Falcon?

Personal opinions (5 points):

20) Briefly comment on your personal opinion about the EOL project. You may include answers to any or all of the

following questions. (There are no wrong answers, here.): Is this project something you consider important? Why or

why not? How, if ever, might you use this resource? If you had the opportunity, would you want to contribute to the

EOL project? If so, how?

After reading the Taube article, which of these factors do you think you would most strongly relate to?  Discuss a few times you may have to consult and what your justification would be. Is it merely to obtain another provider’s opinion out of curiosity? If so, is that okay? In which other scenarios would you consider consulting? How much would you include in your note, knowing at any point it can be court-ordered for review?
