...An additional benefit of using a computerized inventory system is the accuracy it ensures. Eighteenth century English poet Alexander Pope is often quoted as having said, “To err is human.” When an inventory list is maintained by hand, the margin of error widens with each update. If one mathematical calculation is wrong or one typo is made, disaster may occur. For instance, if a clerk accidentally adds a zero to the end of a purchase order, a business could potentially end up paying for 10,000 units of merchandise as opposed to the 1,000 that is actually needed. A small business operates most efficiently when its processes are executed in a consistent manner. By using a computerized inventory system, a business owner can ensures that all orders, reports and other documents relating to inventory are uniform in their presentation, regardless of who has created them. This will allow ease of reading. In addition, uniformity creates a professional appearance, which can go a long way to impress associates, such as potential investors.Efficiently tracking inventory is an imperative component to a small business’ successful operation. By having up-to-date data regarding all needed office supplies, raw manufacturing materials and merchandise for sale, an organization will drastically increase its bottom line. In addition to the money saved by not reordering unnecessary goods, an enterprise will be better positioned to services customers quickly, as well...

...Billing and coding errors, the causes for billing and coding errors are incorrect dates; this can cause patient information to be billed or sent to the insurance provider to soon or may be late. Double billing happens more often than not. It is sad that it has to happen this way; I believe it is caused by computer errors or misplaced information. If double billing occurs you can credit the doubled amount back to the patient if the patient has paid both amounts. There are also typos that can happen that can happen on a patient’s bill and may cause issues for the insurance carriers, the payers or the patients. The solutions to these billing and coding errors. If the errors occur on your bill, patients can review their billing statements and contact their doctor office. Or they can send a written response asking for the proper information. For typos they can call and provide the correct information and hopefully get a good response from the receptionist. If billed twice for the same amounts they can request a credit for the double charge with proof that it had happened. All coding policies come from the proper coding guidelines of the national medical societies. Thousands of coding and billing combinations are used for checking all ...

...do it today, and this serves them fine. Larger companies have switched to computerized accounting systems today which run faster and are more accurate than manually. They both perform essentially the same thing, and are under the very same principles and concepts with the only differences being in the mechanics (Shanker, 2011). There are many factors facing manual accounting compared to computerized accounting today: speed, cost, and back up. Speed is important in accounting today due to the large companies and their investors. Using today’s computerized accounting systems, processing data, and reports are faster and more accurate causing less errors, and increases efficiency. This is all done with the push of a button (Shanker, 2011). Doing accounting manually is cheaper, but takes longer and is more likely to have errors. Using the computerized system is more costly due to the purchases of software, computer, training, and program upkeep. Other expenses with the computerized system...

...feedback to pupils provides an opportunity for them to see how the respond given to their works which may be engaging or just being ignored by pupils. However, the teachers may have their own perspectives and beliefs underlying their practices. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the way teachers give written feedback to pupils’ writing, belief of their practices and factors that influencing their belief on practices in written feedback. A number of writing exercise books selected from upper level primary pupils are collected to be analysed and a few follow- up interviews being done to elicit the information data required for the purpose of this study. The results shows that most teachers focus more on the language form, giving uncoded error feedback and less written commentary given in writing. It is assumed that the factors that influence these practices are mainly because of examination culture, the time constraints and the teacher’s personal belief of written feedback. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction Written feedback is a long-standing educational practice that can arguably be linked to almost everything we learn (Evans, Hartshorn, McCollum, & Wolfersberger, 2010; Hattie & Timperley, 2007). According to Hyland & Hyland (2006), teacher written feedback is designed to carry a heavy informational load, offering commentary on the form and content or other aspects of a text to encourage pupils to develop their writing and consolidate learning...

...wishes and intentions, making false steps turns out to be inseparable part of our life. Moreover failure is considered to be one of the greatest man’s fears. There is no need to deny the fact that up-to-date life is sure to lay high claims to every person and to enhance the importance of competition. Seeking after perfection and willing to make some favorable impression one, in contrast, grows weaker before failure. Frankly speaking the very point, not to be forgotten, is that perfection exists only in our imagination but not in real life. Thus understanding of such thing can become the only way to accept one’s own and somebody else’s failure. You can’t but take into account that all greatest discoveries happened mostly by trial and error. Society imposes certain conditions, according to what it can result in the fear of misfortune that leads us, in turn, to more sizable blunder. Right for mistake means often the right for some innovation, research, experiment, discovery and progress in some new directions. They say: “Only one is not mistaken, who does nothing”. It’s also worth mentioning that a lot of outstanding personalities also failed and that sometimes few people possessed faith in them. That’s why the main thing to stress is that we should be patient and learn lessons from our failures. Furthermore it is said: “Wise man...

... Dear Location Managers, Great job on trying to manage the extensive amount of customers. Lei and I have heard that the employees are overwhelmed by the volume of customers. Thanks for noticing and reporting the increase of errors in customer orders. Lei and I have decided to adopt an e-customer order system that will allow customers to input their own orders. This would address the issue of employees being overwhelmed by the increased pace of the workplace. When need to implement Kotter's Eight Steps to Leading Change to reach our goals. We know that making change in technology to automated customer service will be a difficult task but Lei and I are going to be with you the whole step of the way. Our vision is to decrease the number of errors to a minimum while introducing a new system. I will send you a guidance handbook to operate the new system. Cross-training will definitely have to go into effect, the old employees will have to train the new ones. To touch base with the number of errors, I need that number to decrease to one error a day per employee. Since I know that we just got new equipment the monitoring will go in effect next month. To motivate the employees each month I will give a reward to the ones who have limit number of errors. You should let your employees that you are watching them to ask questions if they have a concern. Please try not to intimidate them. It should be praise an reward.I want them to be able to talk to you about any concern. Everyone...

...Process The claims adjudication process has five steps. The steps are initial processing, automated review, manual review, determination, and payment. In the initial processing paper claims and any paper attachments are stamped with the date and entered into the payer’s computer system, by either data-entry personnel or by scanning them into the system. This process might find problems such as the patient’s name, plan identification number or plan or service code is wrong. The diagnosis code may be incorrect for the date of service or it might be missing altogether, or the gender-specific procedure code is not correct for the patient’s gender. Any claims that have mistakes are rejected. The provider is instructed to correct the errors and re-bill the service. The claim goes through the automated review after the initial process. This review looks at the patient’s time limits for filing claims, referral forms, preauthorization, and the patient’s eligibility benefits. Bundled codes, non-covered services, medical review, concurrent care, utilization review, and duplicate dates of services are also checked for during the automated review. The claim is stopped if problems are found, and the claim is set aside for manual review. During manual review, more information may need to be provided so that the claim process can be finished. An examiner receives the claim, and they can ask the provider for any additional information that is necessary for processing the claim...

...the context in which the narrative is written. Taking passages and phrases out of context, as we see often in stories reported present day, can dull or even obliterate the meaning of what is being said all together. By doing this, the reader can use any part of the scripture to mean almost anything he or she wishes, and in turn misses out on the true meaning of the text. Selectivity, another common mistake, also plays a part in this misinterpretation. Readers pick through selecting only certain phrases or sections to concentrate on while ignoring the broad scope of the narrative. By doing this, the big picture is lost amongst the details and a larger message can be missed (Fee & Stuart, 2003). Moralizing is another one of the most common errors, and I must say one that I have often made. While reading through these rich historical narratives one gets lost by searching the moral message. Although there is moral content to be found, that is not the intent on these narratives. These stories were not written to illustrate to future peoples how to handle adversity or use moral judgment in their everyday lives. These narratives where written as historical...
