Parties negotiating exclusive contracts should be aware of that scope of services, compensation structure, and termination issues.

If the medical group requires stipends to ensure that it is sufficiently compensated for services provided, this must be put into the contract.
Termination issues are necessary areas of concern because it must be clearly determined if the contract will automatically renew or simply end, which would require the medical group to renegotiate the contract at the end of each term.

Sonya O. Rose presents an argument within ‘The Politics and Service and Sacrifice in WW1 Ireland and India’ in which there is a direct link between ideas of sacrifice, and nationalism. Rose focuses on two separate climates within the Empire; Ireland and India. She discusses the hegemonic concept of masculinity, the increase in a nationalist ideology, and a culture of sacrifice that existed within these nations during wartime. Within the Irish context, Rose discusses how different sections of the population, that had opposing ideologies, were all effectively united under the same ideals, which subsequently lead to an increase in national identity. It is argued that India was in a period of transition prior, and during the Great War.
London, don't get discouraged! I began coding and billing for Oncology and Urgent Care offices after I was hired. Learning medical billing takes time, practice, and research. Yearly, medical codes are updated, discarded or changed. Learning ICD-10 now gives an advantage to be hired. Medical terminology, anatomy and paying attention to detail are essential factors in coding. In your discussion board, you suggested seeking an internship in a medical office, and I think that's a good idea. Since there are many different fields in healthcare that may spark your interest, researching different fields first can make the difference.
In the first assignment, the paper discussed a major topic in Health Care Reform.

Managing highly-specialized implementation, such as the shift to ICD-10, requires highly-skilled team members. Over the past few years, hospitals and health systems have invested hundreds of millions of dollars collectively to prepare for the complex implementation. And, while physicians have not faced the arduous challenges that vendors, payers and hospitals have experienced, they can benefit from the lessons learned. For example, outsourcing medical coding and billing services may be the key to managing a healthy revenue stream and improving your practice as whole.
The problem at Memorial Hospital is the focus on costs instead of health care. When a health care provider does not take the primary business as the core value of the operation and make strategic and tactical decisions based primary on costs, it decreases the consumers’ (patients) satisfaction in long run. As consumers reduce or stop purchasing goods and services from the hospital, hospital may make more cost oriented decisions and falls into a negative cycle. Eventually the hospital may face the fate of loosing business to competitors and the possibility of closing the door.

Introduction In this paper, I will take the position of a hospital. When choosing this role MCO’s all require an institution that offers acute care and other related ambulatory services (Kongstvedt, 2009). Thus, the necessity for services such as these would be less of a risk as these services are an absolute necessity. However, it is important to keep in mind that regulations exist within specific territories or states that prohibit creativity in regards to reimbursement methods (Kongstvedt, 2009).

A number of researchers have suggested over the years that teenage brains aren't yet fully developed, why they are so short tempered and moody doesn’t have an answer but one thing is known; one small thing can set them off just like that. Teenagers go through a lot of learning experiences and many deal with it in many different ways. So whenever it comes up that a minor committed a serious or minor crime it’s typical that they get less prosecuted than an adult would because of their age and that raises controversy. In my opinion teenagers should be tried as adults, although with their impressionable minds, skyrocketing hormones and oscillating emotions it doesn’t justify committing serious crimes such as murder. There are a lot of perspectives to look at, The root of the problem is sometimes the parents, should parents teach more freedom or more rules?
