In an ambulatory care setting, you should receive receipts from insurance companies that have paid for services for its subscribers. The receipts details what services and procedures were or were not paid for. You will need to read the receipt in its entirety. Depending on the type of insurance, the provider may have to take a loss or charge patients the remaining balance that the insurance company did not cover.

If you have not received any payment within 10 business days of submitting a claim, you need to call the insurance company and ask why the claim has not been paid. Most insurance companies will not pay on a claim if it is dirty or incomplete.

Use your textbook, the Internet, or other resources to complete this assignment. Write a one-page paper defining and explaining the difference between an “explanation of benefits” and a “remittance advice.” Then explain clean, dirty, and incomplete claim forms.

Application: Decision Support Systems

To prepare for this Application Assignment, review this week’s readings and websites. Then pick ONE scenario below to address for this week’s Application.

Construct a convincing argument in 400-500 words that explains the benefits and the challenges of using a CDS in the clinical situation you choose. Use your readings to support your rationale.

The following three scenarios depict examples of the use of CDS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems, 2012, Retrieved fromhttp://www.himss.org/files/HIMSSorg/content/files/CDS101WebSite.pdf:

Scenario A
You are a nurse on a busy surgery unit in an acute care hospital. Every time you administer a medication, you are required to scan the bar codes of your patient’s wristband and the medication. Occasionally, this process prompts an alert that the medication you are about to administer is contra-indicated for your patient.

Scenario B
You are a primary care physician in a large group practice that uses an electronic health record (EHR). At the beginning of each visit, you view a dashboard of preventive care measures – like flu vaccine, colon cancer screening, cholesterol tests – that are due for your patient, based on age, medical history (problem list), and medication list stored in the EHR.

Scenario C
You are a care manager in an emergency department. Thirty patients are in the unit right now, and new lab results, imaging studies, and orders are constantly being posted on all of them. You have a visual “air traffic” tracking display which shows which patients have not been seen yet, which have new orders to process, which have abnormal lab results, which ones have been in the unit more than four hours, which have inpatient beds ready, and more. Your status display filters and reformats all the information to help you know where to direct your attention next.

Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’ s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct.
