...System Structures Overview HCS/533 Health Information Systems Name Date Professor I have aforementioned that I was previously employed with hospice within the health care industry for several years. Within that experience, I have had the pleasure of using a few information systems. I have also had the pleasure of gaining insight and a better understanding of these systems and how and why they were implemented within the industry as well as how beneficial they have been throughout the years. If I may, I would like to report on a system that was not discussed during Week 2 of this course but is very imperative within the hospice industry which is Disease Classification Structure. Disease Classification Structures are very essential for compensation. The data system is one that classifies and provides diagnostic codes that help classify diseases. The ICD-9 (international classification of disease) was actually elected in the United States and the purpose was to “classify disease and health conditions on health care claims and is the basis for prospective payment to hospitals, other health care facilities and health care providers. (Overview of ICD-9, p.1). Every decade, the World Health Organization revises to include morbid and mortal conditions. The DRG (diagnosis related group) was put into motion in the early eighties with the intent of creating a classification system that identified the products that the patient received. (Medicare, 2013). Since that period of time...

...8/24/2014 An Overview on Industrial Automation - Structures & Technologies To resolve the automation and control issues, industries use the ever changing technologies in control systems for efficient production or manufacturing processes. These requires the high quality and reliable control systems. New trends in industrial automation deals with latest control devices and communication protocols to control field devices like control valves and other final control elements. Some of the smart devices or instruments used in automated industry has the ability to control the processes and also communication capabilities without interfacing to other field level control devices like PLC’s. What is Industrial Automation? Industrial automation is the use of various control devices like PC’s/PLC’s/DCS, used to have control on various operations of an industry without significant intervention from humans and to provide automatic control performance. In industries, control strategies use a set of technologies which are implemented to get the desired performance or output, making the automation system most essential for industries. A ut omat ed proc es s in indus t ries Industrial automation involves usage of advanced control strategies like cascade controls, modern control hardware devices as PLC’s,sensors and other instruments for sensing the control variables, signal conditioning equipments to connect the signals to the control devices, drives and other significant final...

...preparing substantive testing, external auditors must be able to quickly and completely assess the financial processes, determine weaknesses, and provide recommendations for improvement. The ability to transcribe formalized or narrative processes into functional workflows allows an auditor to identify potential gaps in accounting systems. These gaps can result in material audit findings necessitating changes in the company’s control structure. However, it is not only the process and flow of transactions that requires scrutiny. Companies evolve into sophisticated, computerized systems that require an in-depth understanding of administrative rights, electronic process flows, and end user reporting. In this case study, you will apply all of these skills in developing recommendations for Trinity Industries. Though the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) promulgated many internal control structure changes, the company is unsure as to whether they are applying too few or too many internal controls. Unnecessary controls place added burden on staff and cost the company thousands of dollars in monitoring and maintenance. For Milestone One, prepare an overview of Trinity Industries....

...software system will be structured to satisfy the requirements. It is the primary reference for code development and, therefore, it must contain all the information required by a programmer to write code. The SDD is performed in two stages. The first is a preliminary design in which the overall system architecture and data architecture is defined. In the second stage, i.e. the detailed design stage, more detailed data structures are defined and algorithms are developed for the defined architecture. This template is an annotated outline for a software design document adapted from the IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Design Descriptions. The IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Design Descriptions have been reduced in order to simplify this assignment while still retaining the main components and providing a general idea of a project definition report. For your 1 own information, please refer to IEEE Std 10161998 for the full IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Design Descriptions. 1 http://www.cs.concordia.ca/~ormandj/comp354/2003/Project/ieeeSDD.pdf (Team Name) (Project Title) Software Design Document Name (s): Lab Section: Workstation: Date: (mm/dd/yyyy) Software Design Document TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

How do you feel about that score? Did you go back and try a question again if you got it wrong? Which role did you like best? My final score is 890 points and I effectively attained the score and I feel good about them. I comfortably attained the score after failing once and repeated to attain the correct answer of 88 points. The role that I liked best was the post paid revenue (SUM). The figures accrued in 2010 were 7,601,640.2 and those for 2011 was 10,090,957.89. This helps to effectively express the customer usage analytic. 2.
