Part 1

From the readings and your own research, discuss the evolution of epidemiology in public health. Choose 1 of the following key pioneers in the field, and discuss his influence and contribution to epidemiology in public health:

• Hippocrates
• John Graunt
• Edward Jenner
• Lemuel Shattuck
• Edwin Chadwick
• John Snow
• Louis Pasteur
• Robert Koch

Respond to other students who chose a pioneer different from the one you chose, and discuss how the contributions of both relate to each other. Show either how one paved the way or how one built on the work of those before him.

Part 2

Choose a disease or health condition Determine a local jurisdiction on which you would like to concentrate (city, township, county, or state). Examine the epidemiology of the chosen disease, reviewing its history and trend, comparing the national trend to the chosen local jurisdiction. Describe the local jurisdiction (population and demographics). This will be the introduction

A component of your final project is to complete a needs assessment of your target population pertaining to the disease or health issue for which you are proposing the need for an intervention or prevention program. A component of the needs assessment is to describe the disease or health issue to demonstrate the need.  Using the epidemiologic triad of people, time, and place, provide a descriptive analysis of the health issue and the impacted population.

For data on your chosen disease or health issue, review the following data sources:

•  
• (You have to register for this one, but it is free.)
•   (This is good for demographic data.)

Describe the disease in terms of the following:

• People: Demographics of those impacted (age, race/ethnicity, gender)
• Time: The time period of the data you are reviewing (510 years, 1 year, etc.)
• Place: Built environment and other environmental factors

Represent the data in graphs, charts, and tables as relevant, accompanied by a brief explanation.

Describe the morbidity, mortality, incidence, and prevalence rates of the data. Describe differences in terms of age, race/ethnicity, and gender. Which age group, race, or gender seems to be most impacted by the morbidity and mortality data? What were the morbidity and mortality trends for the time period observed (5 or 10 years depending on the data)?

Zika virus infection among pregnant women can cause birth defects such as microcephaly in the newborn child. Imagine you are the mayor of a small suburban town in Florida in which mosquitoes are known to carry Zika virus. What would you do to prevent Zika virus infection in your town? If you decide to use an insecticide to kill mosquitoes, what type or class of insecticide would you use? Why?

Term 6 Unit 6 Discussion

• Choose      a symbol from either “The Gift of the Magi” or      “Everyday Use” and discuss what significance this      symbol had to you as the reader (an example of this would be the      combs Jim gave to Della and a discussion about a precious gift that you      received or gave).  Use text examples in this section.
• If      someone were to write your life story, what symbol would be present      and why?  How does this symbol represent      you?   You can attach a picture of your symbol (an      example of this might be a baby blanket from your childhood, or a      baseball from your first game).

Insurance coding and billing is complex, but it boils down to how to accurately apply a code, or CPT (current procedural terminology), to the service that you provided. The payer then reimburses the service at a certain rate. As a provider, you will have to understand what codes to use and what documentation is necessary to support coding.

For this Assignment, you will review evaluation and management (E/M) documentation for a patient and perform a crosswalk of codes from DSM-5-TR to ICD-10. 

To Prepare

• Review this weeks Learning Resources on coding, billing, reimbursement.
• Review the E/M patient case scenario provided.

The Assignment

• Assign DSM-5-TR and ICD-10 codes to services based upon the patient case scenario. 

Then, in 12 pages address the following. You may add your narrative answers to these questions to the bottom of the case scenario document and submit altogether as one document.

• Explain what pertinent information, generally, is required in documentation to support DSM-5-TR and ICD-10 coding.
• Explain what pertinent documentation is missing from the case scenario, and what other information would be helpful to narrow your coding and billing options.
• Finally, explain how to improve documentation to support coding and billing for maximum reimbursement.

The team project offers a context in which you can practice and develop teamwork skills through experiential learning. Your team will choose a specific company organization and choose a specific task to accomplish.  The project is organized around three main parts, namely background, discussion, and leadership decisions:

Background: You and your team members search for, gather, and organize important information in relation to your team project. Examples can include political, economic and cultural environment of the world and a nation-state, and trends in a specific industry.

Discussion: You and your team members analyze the collected background information, and identify at least three critical issues that need leaders attention and possible leadership decisions. Then your team takes perspectives on these critical issues and prioritizes one as the niche that your team project aims to address.

Leadership Decisions: You and your team members design two possible leadership decisions for the niche identified in discussion, and recommend one leadership decision over the other. Your team also proposes an action plan so that the recommended leadership decision can become reality.

Each team will present their project on June 8, 2022  Each team also needs to write a leadership decision brief for the project (1,200-1400 words), which is due at 11:00pm (PDT) Wednesday June 8, 2022. THIS IS ONE PAPER per team (not individual papers)
