Instructions

For this task, you will select five well-known historical individuals (living or deceased) to illustrate the two extremes of the Big Five Model dimensions. Develop a chart that presents where the individual falls for each of the Big Five traits. Then, summarize using examples of the individual’s behavior that supports your analysis.

For example, some people could argue that former President Bill Clinton would score high in extraversion because he seems to draw energy from being surrounded by people while President Barack Obama would score low because he seems to surround himself with a few trusted friends and family to re-energize.

1. Select five well-known historical individuals (living or deceased).
2. Use one chart for each figure you selected to determine where each individual falls on each of the Big Five dimensions.
3. Provide a brief 1-page summary explaining your analysis for each individual.
4. Support each summary with at least one scholarly source.

Consider using the following chart example to develop and present your chart:

Length: 5 individual charts of historic people; and a 1-page summary for each individual listed (for a total of 5 summaries)

Coding Audit Assignment

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this assignment you will be able to:

1. Analyze quality data in graphical format.

2. Assess performance based on policy guidelines.

Scenario: Imagine that you have just been promoted to the position of Coding Manager at National Medical Center and you are responsible for five (5) fulltime and three (3) part-time coders. On a quarterly basis you, the Coding Manager, are required to complete a coding audit including summary reports for each coder.

Complete the following tasks:

Part I: The former Coding Manager completed the recent 4^th Quarter audit but she was not able to complete any of the reports prior to her departure. She has left you with the following audit information:

Coder 1 88.6 %

Coder 2 96 %

Coder 3 98.9%

Coder 4 92 %

Coder 5 89.9 %

Coder 6 94.6 %

Coder 7 81%

Coder 8 91%

You do not know the coding accuracy policy, so you locate the following information in the policy and procedure manual:

Coding Quality Policy:

RMC must uphold a high level of coding accuracy expectations to meet internal standards, JCAHO and Medicare standards, and other regulatory expectations. In order to assure compliance with these standards, each coder will be audited on a quarterly basis by review of a random sample of their work. The following quality standards are expected:

• A random sample of 20 charts will result in a 94% or higher accuracy rate.
• Coders in their first six (6) months will remain on probation and will be expected to reach a 94% accuracy rate by the end of the probation period.
• Coders in their probation period are expected to reach at least an 80% accuracy rate leading to the 94% standard at the end of six (6) months. A continuous improvement is expected over the duration of the probationary period.
• A coder not meeting the quality standard will be put on a continued education plan developed by the Coding Manager.
  • The Coding Manager will work with the coder on a regular basis to monitor training and improvement;
  • The next quarterly audit should show improvement up to the 94% standard;
  • If a coder does not meet the standard in two consecutive audits, they will be put on probation for three (3) months. The next audit, after the three (3) month probation must convey the 94% standard or the coder will be subject to termination.

Part I: Begin a Word document and answer the following question:

Based on this information, what information should you collect to comply with the policy?

Part II:

Create an Excel spreadsheet – Enter the 4^th Quarter audit summary information that the previous manager left for you into your spreadsheet, along with the information below that you found in previous audit files. You will need to construct one bar chart showing the history for each of the coders.

Once you have created a bar chart that shows the four (4) quarters of audit results, copy and paste it into your Word document for this assignment, labeled Part II.

Part III: You have collected information from each of the coders file and prepared a table to remind you of their employment status.

Now you must make some decisions based on the data that you have.

• Which coders are concerns and why? List each one that you are concerned with and be specific about the part(s) of the policy in question.
• Which coder(s) require an education plan?
• Do any coders need to be placed on probation?
• Do any coders need to be considered for termination?
• Are any coders in their probationary period in jeopardy of not meeting the probationary expectations?

Submit your assignment as one document containing Parts I – III.

Week 2 Discussion

At least 350 words.

While the works by Ramabai and Tolstoy are very different this week, they both address basic ideas of opportunity and challenges. Ramabai talks about many of the limited opportunities that women might have access to and how those limitations can create a variety of challenges to face or overcome. Tolstoy’s Ivan Ilyich has many different opportunities in his life and his choices regarding those opportunities are interesting to reflect on as the story progresses. He also feels challenged at the end of his life and spends much time reflecting on what to make of his circumstances. Using at least one specific example from each author, focusing on the texts assigned for this week, what specific opportunity or challenge struck you as significant as you were reading? Are there any parallels between the opportunities or challenges expressed in the texts and ones that might be faced today?

Ramabai, “Married Life” and “Legal Rights”

Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Introduction:

Officer Tyler is standing close to a high school watching the foot traffic. Mike is walking to school, minding his own business. Mike appears older than he is, often being mistaken for someone in college. Officer Tyler is standing in Mike’s path, looking directly at Mike. Mike needs to walk around the officer to continue on his way. Mike is nervous, since the officer is staring at him as he approaches. When Mike is a few feet away, Officer Tyler says, “Let me see some ID.” Mike forgot his identification and tells the officer that he has no ID. The officer directs Mike to empty his pockets. Mike initially starts to do so, but then refuses.

1. At that juncture, did Officer Tyler have the right to make the request?

3. What can Officer Tyler do, if anything, after the refusal?
4. What if Mike then turned and ran from the officer after yelling, “You have no right to ask me to do anything, I was just walking to school and I am scared of you”?
5. What if, when running, Mike pulled from his pocket and threw away what appeared to be a small bag of cocaine?
