Overview
In this module, you learned about the significance of key performance indicators (KPIs) at various stages of a revenue cycle. You also explored how KPIs impact strategic planning and boost financial performance.
In this assignment, you will analyze whether a healthcare organization is meeting its KPIs and write an executive summary to share your findings.
This assignment will help you apply revenue-cycle principles to data analytics and evaluate the significance of KPIs in strategic planning and financial performance. It will also help you prepare for section 4 (Revenue Cycle Process) in the course project.
Directions
Using internet sources, identify the revenue-cycle dashboard of any type of healthcare organization you choose and analyze the data in the dashboard to determine whether the organization is meeting its KPIs. Then write an executive summary discussing your analysis.
The dashboard you locate should have at least two KPIs from the front end, two from the middle, and two from the back end of the revenue cycle. You may select multiple dashboards to showcase all six KPIs if you do not find all KPIs in a single dashboard. You may use your own organization’s dashboard if that is allowed, after removing all identifying information. You can locate a revenue cycle by searching for “dashboard/scorecard” or “revenue-cycle dashboard” in the relevant “Activity Reading” resource in the module resources section. You can also use the Shapiro Library or search Google for “revenue cycle images” to help you locate a dashboard.
Your executive summary should have short paragraphs for each rubric criterion, with clearly marked paragraph headers. You may refer to the relevant “Activity Reading” resource in the Module Resources section to better understand how an executive summary is structured. If you need writing support, access the Online Writing Center through the Academic Support module of your course.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Revenue-Cycle Dashboard: Summarize at least two KPIs from the front end, two from the middle, and two from the back end of the revenue cycle, as well as why you believe these KPIs will demonstrate whether the organization is meeting its KPIs or not.
Front-End KPIs: Examine the possible cash-flow issues and operational improvement possibilities of at least two front-end KPIs in the revenue-cycle dashboard of the chosen organization. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
How would you define the KPIs you identified from the front end?
How would these KPIs inform the organization of potential future cash flow issues?
How do the KPIs inform the organization of operational-improvement opportunities?
Middle KPIs: Examine the possible cash-flow issues and operational improvement possibilities of at least two KPIs from the middle of the revenue-cycle dashboard of the chosen organization. Refer to the guiding questions for the “Front-End KPIs” in number 2 above for additional guidance.
Back-End KPIs: Examine the possible cash-flow issues and operational improvement possibilities of at least two KPIs from the back end of the revenue-cycle dashboard of the chosen organization. Refer to the guiding questions for the “Front-End KPIs” in number 2 above for additional guidance.
Metrics Analysis: Analyze the metrics on the dashboard to determine whether the organization is meeting its KPIs or not. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
How is the dashboard notifying the leader if any metrics are not being met?
How would you determine that the metrics are not being met if the dashboard had no visual cues?
All the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the textbook, or module resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources, at least one of which should be separate from your own research. Refer to the IHP 630 Library Guide located in the Start Here section of the course for additional support.
What to Submit
Submit your executive summary as a 4- to 5-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Add a title page. Sources should be cited according to APA style.Overview

For this weeks discussion board, please review the listed below resources for this assignment to assess the population changes that have occurred in the field of community corrections over the last 20 years. After you have reviewed this data, discuss what inference you can make based on this data about the field of probation and parole. Please remember to support your opinions with scholarly information from the weekly readings and/or other scholarly resources.

Many employment laws were created out of a necessity when organizations (those with power) didn’t treat employees (those without power) fairly or ethically. For example, the child labor laws in the Fair Labor Standards Act were created to ensure that young people were not taken advantage of by factories.
For this assignment, choose one labor law or subset of a labor law. Clearly identify the law using its official name, then describe the law in 2-3 sentences in your own words (no cutting and pasting or using long quotes to describe the law). Next, outline the “spirit of the law,” meaning WHY the law was written and who it was written to protect. Provide any lawsuits or specific examples (if any) that contributed to the law’s creation. Next, craft a hypothetical scenario where you would apply the law. Finally, discuss whether the law is still valid or necessary and any changes you would recommend be made.
Your response should be at a minimum 1,000 words in length. Provide APA cites for any outside materials used to prepare for this discussion.
What do you think of the Alligator River exercise in Collaborate? How do you think this relates to Jurors and how they can or can’t reach a consensus? How do you think this fits into National Media and the News? Do people make decisions or jump to conclusions based on limited information? (This one must be answered AFTER our session).
Write a discussion post. 100 words or more. The questions below are just used as guidance you do not have to answer them. It needs to be an analysis not a summary. The analysis only has to be of the first half of the autobiography. Not the whole thing
How does Kossula’s story correspond to the other slave narratives we’ve encountered?
This week, we will read the story of Kossula, who is the subject of Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon. She wrote this text as a biography to Cudjo Lewis…aka Kossula…who was on the last slave ship brought to this country. Some questions to consider:
How does Kossula’s story relate to others we have read? What are similarities & differences?
How does consumption work in the text?
What role does land/nature play Kossula’s life?
What correlations can you draw between music in this text and the ways in which music has been portrayed in our other works?
How does Kossula’s story portray women?
How have law and paperwork failed him?
What do you make of Hurston’s use of the vernacular, meaning Kossula’s own dialect?
How does violence work in the story?
Instructions for 4 through 6: For each simulation, enter the command “set.seed(2)” right before you start a main “for loop” or start a non-“for loop” simulation.!!
#4. Suppose that an urn contains 50 red balls, 40 blue balls, and 30 white balls. Suppose that we draw four balls from the urn, randomly with replacement. Use simulations with 1 million trials to estimate the probability that the draw has more white balls than red balls.!Run your code, and output your simulated estimate.!!
#5. Suppose that an urn contains 10 balls, each one is labelled using the single digits 0,1,2,…,9. Each time we draw three balls with replacement, we convert the balls to a decimal using the digits drawn in order. So for example, balls drawn in order are 3, 5, and 1, this would convert to the decimal 0.351. The following random experiment is performed: we continue to draw sets of three balls (with replacement) and add up the resulting decimal digits until the sum is greater than or equal to 1. We let X = the number of draws done until this happens. Use simulations with 1 million trials to estimate the expected value of X.!Suggestion: To convert the urn balls to the decimal will take some trail and errors. You might find the as.numeric command useful here.!!
#6. Suppose that the following gambling game is offered to you:!An urn contains 10 red balls, 15 blue balls, and 10 green balls. You randomly draw three balls without replacement. If they are all the same color, you win $20, otherwise you lose $2.!Would it be advantageous for you to play this game? Use simulations with 1 million iterations to explain why or why not!
