relevant in the ICU and is seen as a damaging phenomenon. According to Pierson (2007)‚ a number of studies have found associations between the development of delirium and increased morbidity and mortality as well as with increased lengths of stay in both ICU and hospital stays. Throughout this paper definitions of the concept of ICU delirium will be discussed‚ surrogate names will be identified and the features and characteristics of the concept will be examined. In addition‚ case examples will be discussed

MS-DRGs and Reimbursement What is MS-DRG? The term means two things‚ the first definition is Medical Systems Development Group. But for this paper we will be using the second definition of Medicare Severity Diagnose Related Group which deals with Medicare reimbursement. Mostly this term deals with how an illness or procedure is coded using CPT and ICD9-CM codes.

The three goals of the Physician Payment Reform are as follows: Decrease Medicare expenditures‚ Re-Distribute physicians payments more equitably and ensure quality health care at a reason rate. 2. You would use modifier 57 for the hospital visit. 3. 1. Physician Work – the relative level of time‚ skill‚ training and intensity to provide a given service. 2.

MS-DRG Miranda Valcourt DeVry University MS-DRG Medicare severity diagnosis-related group or MS-DRG is Medicare refinement to the diagnosis-related group (DRG) classification system‚ which allows for payment to be more closely aligned with resource. The Medicare Severity-DRG (MS-DRG) is the most commonly used DRG system‚ because it governs the ever growing ranks of Medicare patients (Bushnell‚ 2013). MS-DRG has a payment rate called a weight (Casto‚ 2013). Higher weights are associated with

There are two emerging technologies that really caught my eye‚ the 3D organ printing and Telehealth. Both of these emerging technologies are new concepts to the world today that I hope will in a few years help to shape a brighter and better future for the health of all people. First off‚ I would like to explain what MS-DRG’s are and how they work. As I said before‚ MS-DRG stands for Medicare

Hospital noise has negative effects on our patients and on us‚ healthcare workers. “For the purpose of hospital noise‚ relevant measures of noise are related to sound levels. The relative loudness of sound is measured in decibels” (Choiniere‚ 2010). The EPA recommends that hospital sound levels should not exceed forty five decibels‚ whereas the WHO recommends that hospital noise should not exceed thirty decibels

Paramecia feed on bacteria. Paramecia have 2 nuclei‚ 1 macronucleus and 1 micronucleus. Some have up to 80 micronuclei! The organism cannot survive without macronucleus and cannot reproduce without micronucleus. I used the 4x on the Parmecium caudatum to measure 11 cells they varied in length from 145.44-199.98um‚

Abstract A pendulum was constructed and altered with differing weights‚ swing lengths‚ and pendulum lengths. The period for each variation was recorded and compared to find the factors that affected the length of the period. It was concluded that the length of the pendulum was the determining factor for the period of the swing.
