What will be required of the stakeholders in Grand City to come together to enact change in education programs and the community?
Module 1 Assignment:
“PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATIONAL CHANGE AND DATA USE”
As a selected educational leader, you met the other members of the mayor’s task force at the first meeting. Joining you are other educational and community experts with specialized expertise in early childhood education, special education, business, and technology.
This week, Mayor Keller’s task force gathered to review the data report collected by each member and to discuss how to advance educational and community change to better serve early childhood and K–12 students in Grand City. You and the task force analyzed community demographics, student achievement, and various other data sets to target areas needing improvement and/or change.
At the conclusion of the first meeting, to start the change process, Mayor Keller has asked each member of the task force to explain what educational change means to you and how data can serve as a foundational source for not only educational change, but as social change in the community.
For this Assignment, you will explore your philosophies related to educational change and data as a foundational source for educational and community change.
To prepare:
Review the Fullan (2016) chapters for this module reviewing the history and context of calls for change in education. Fullan states that it takes “considerable energy” to implement change (2016, p. 37). What will be required of the stakeholders in Grand City to come together to enact change in education programs and the community? Think about what educational change means to you and how you work or have worked to make that change in your professional practice.
Review the Gonzalez-Sancho & Vincent-Lacrin (2016) and Mandinach et al. (2015) articles regarding data collection in education. Think about your own beliefs about data as foundational sources for implementing change.
Conduct a search to locate resources related to how your state (or locality) and/or program collects and uses student data. How does your state’s (or locale’s) and/or program’s processes compare to your own philosophy on the use of data?
Review and reflect on Walden University’s mission and vision. What does it mean to be an agent of educational change in your professional field?
Review and save a copy of the Walden APA Paper Template linked in the Learning Resources as well as other resources in the Writing Center.

explain how to improve documentation to support coding and billing for maximum reimbursement.
Reimbursement and the appropriate coding to support it are of paramount importance to the business side of the medical field. When a service is provided, a code is used to extract billable information from the medical documentation, which results in insurance reimbursements to the provider. Reimbursement rates and medical coding can be almost as complicated as treating some mental illnesses, and you will need to understand how to accurately code services for documentation, billing, and reimbursement.
This week, you analyze the relationships among documentation, coding, and billing in advanced practice nursing as you practice applying diagnostic criteria and service codes to a case study. You will also evaluate the progress you made on the study plan that you created in NRNP 6665 and develop additional goals to help you prepare for your nurse practitioner national certification exam.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
· Apply DSM-5-TR diagnosis criteria and ICD-10 codes to patient service documentation
· Analyze the relationships among documentation, coding, and billing in advanced practice nursing
· Evaluate mastery of nurse practitioner knowledge in preparation for the nurse practitioner national certification examination
· Create a study plan for the nurse practitioner national certification examination
EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT (E/M)
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.
THE ASSIGNMENT
· Assign DSM-5-TR and ICD-10 codes to services based upon the patient case scenario.
Then, in 1–2 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.

In the second, comment on his response to culture change underway in Roman society. Do you belive that he was justified in his position? Why or why not
