Day: March 23, 2021

For this assessment, prepare a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation outlining the various steps of the revenue cycle. For the scenario, imagine you are a patient access supervisor who must educate a group of new hires about the revenue cycle process, including:

The revenue cycle process.
Their potential responsibilities.
Why the process is important to a care organization.
Challenges that they may face in their work.
When structuring your presentation, consider the following points and questions to ensure that you are meeting the following scoring guide criteria:

Explain the purpose of each step in the revenue cycle process.
Explain means to make (an idea, situation, or problem) clear to someone by describing it in more detail or revealing relevant facts or ideas.
The steps within the revenue cycle process include admissions, case management, documentation, coding, billing, and other steps.
Describe key responsibilities of individuals who work in the revenue cycle process.
Describe means to give an account in words of (someone or something), including all the relevant characteristics, qualities, or events.
Describe key components (such as verifying insurance, financial counseling, coding of documented services provided, and other components) and who is responsible (individuals such as coders, registration clerk, and others).
Explain the consequences to the organization of failing to fulfill key responsibilities in the revenue cycle process.
Explain additional steps and challenges in the revenue cycle process when working with an uninsured patient.
Provide information for the new staff regarding options available for the uninsured.
Identify any additional steps throughout the revenue cycle one must be aware of when working with an uninsured patient.
Identify the challenges that exist for the revenue cycle due to the delivery of uncompensated care.
Adhere to the rules of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Grammar refers to the basic rules for how sentences are constructed and how words combine to make sentences (for example, word order, case, and tense).
Usage refers to correct word choice and phrasing, particularly with regard to the meanings of words and phrases.
Mechanics refers to correct use of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.
With the exception of the title slide and the reference slide, each slide should contain detailed speaking notes.
Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references.
Provide in-text citations within the speaking notes, just like you would in a paper, to show where the information was obtained.
Be sure to include an APA-formatted Reference slide at the end of the presentation.

CAROL CASE STUDY:
Im to blame for all the problems in my family
As the oldest of three children, Carol (who is 29) berates herself for her familys tension and dissension. Her father is depressed most of the time (which Carol feels responsible for); her mother feels overburdened and ineffectual (Carol feels she contributes to this); and both her sisters are doing poorly in school and having other personal problems (Carol also assumes responsibility for this). Somehow she is convinced that if she were different and did what she should do, most of these problems would greatly diminish. Assume, as you listen to her, that you hear her saying some of the following things:

My father looks to me to be the strong one in the family. I must be strong if Im to gain his approval, which I feel I must have.

Since my mother is overworked, I should take on more of the responsibility for taking care of my younger sisters. I ought to be able to talk with them and help them with their problems.

My sisters both expect me to do their chores for them, to help them at school, and to live up to the image they have of me. I ought to meet their ideals, and it would be absolutely horrible of me to fail in this regard. Then if they grow up with problems, Ill have only myself to blame for the rest of my life.

1. One of the things a rational emotive behavior therapist would do is teach Carol that her thinking and her evaluation of events are causing her problems (feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and insecurity). What do you hear her saying to herself that is irrational?

2. Discuss in greater length which of the above techniques you would expect to rely on the most. What might you expect to occur through the use of these procedures? What outcomes would you hope for?

3. Assume that Carol holds steadfastly to her beliefs and tries to convince you that they are not irrational? For example, she tells you: I just know that if I were more adequate as a daughter, my father wouldnt be depressed.
Its because Ive let him down so that he feels useless as a father. How would you respond?

4. If Carol seems to hang on to the idea that she must have the approval of her father in order to feel adequate as a person, what direction might you take?

5. What value do you see in asking Carol to do a written REBT Self-Help Form?

6. Apply the technique of rational-emotive imagery in Carols case. How would you help her imagine herself thinking, feeling, and behaving in the way she would ideally like to?

Please answer each question separately.
