Leadership Skills Toolbox

Submit Assignment

• Due Tuesday by 11:59pm
• Points 100
• Submitting a file upload

Consider what you might put in a toolbox if you were going to build something in your home. You might want a hammer, some nails, maybe a level, and if they were available power tools could be a big help and perhaps may the project finish more quickly. The most important part of your toolbox is having tools you know how to use properly and keeping them at your fingertips, ready to use when needed. 

Now that we have reviewed the benefits of focusing on your strengths, as much if not more than areas with room for growth, consider what you would want to have in your leadership toolbox. What strengths have you identified that are your primary tools as a leader? What strength would be the first tool you might take out of your toolbox if you needed to help organize a skilled team? Would you choose a different tool if you moved into a team that had never worked together before?

For this assignment, imagine you are the leader of a group in one of your courses and the assignment is to do a semester-long service learning project. You will need to identify and discuss specific things you could do to create a positive climate, positive relationships, positive communication, and positive meaning in a group with your peers.

First, consider the strengths you have that would help you lead this semester-long project. In your response of at least 300 words include what you would include in your leadership toolbox to help you create a positive and productive leadership style to support your team.

Create a 250-350 word response that includes the following:

• Paragraph 1: Identify at least three of your leadership strengths that are in your leadership toolbox that you can rely on supporting you as a leader in a variety of settings. Include a short description of the strength and why you feel it would be helpful to you as a leader.
• Paragraph 2: Describe what you would use from your toolbox if you were the new leader of a team that was highly skilled in their field. Why do you feel this would be the best choice for this team?
• Paragraph 3: Discuss which choice you would make if you were asked to be the leader of a team that had never worked together before. Provide an explanation of why you would or would not choose something different from your toolbox for this group. 

Please keep in mind, even if you have not had an opportunity to lead a group formally, you can reflect on how you have provided leadership in many different settings to help support your thinking for this reflection.

·  Flexibility to the individuals

·  Is it a popular employer based health plan

These are just some points that should be included in the paper. You should elaborate on each point to give a full understanding of the two plans

1. Prepare examples of various coding and billing issues that you have experienced in the clinical setting (Peds and women’s health).

2. Provide a brief description about the NPI numbers for nurse practitioners.

Answer: 

According to the American Academy of Pediatricians. (2020), current Procedural Terminology (CPT) has specific guidelines for using time as a key factor in determining the level of evaluation and management (E/M) service. First, it is paramount to remember the key factors in determining the level of CPT code which include history, physical examination, and medical decision making for the service. The level of selecting most E/M codes would be determined by these three key factors. In the pediatric practice, pediatricians’ needs to take into consideration the additional time they spent with patients, because it might change the level of coding that is used. On the other hand, time is the key factor when the counseling, coordination of care, or both account for more than fifty percent of the face-to-face time with the patient and/or family. When this situation occurs, it is necessary to enter the total duration of counseling and/or coordination of care into the clinical notes, as well as a description of the counseling and/or coordination of care that took place.

 For example, this future practitioner has performed a detailed history and examination, with the decision making as low complexity, and sixty minutes are spent with the patient; forty minutes of which are spent counseling the patient, the visit is coded 99205 which CPT guidelines indicate has a typical time of 60 minutes rather than 99203, which CPT guidelines indicate has a typical time of 30 minutes, for a new patient. (AAP, 2020). Besides, other issue in the office and other outpatient visits is that face-to-face time is defined as the amount of time the practitioner spends in the room with the patient. It does not include any other nurse time preparing the patient or giving injections. Coding to a general level or under coding could lead to a rejected or denied claim.

The NPI is a unique identification number for covered health care providers. Covered health care providers and all health plans and health care clearinghouses must use the NPIs in the administrative and financial transactions adopted under HIPAA. The NPI is a 10-position, intelligence-free numeric identifier (10-digit number). The numbers do not carry other information about healthcare providers. As outlined in the Federal Regulation, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), covered providers must also share their NPI with other providers, health plans, clearinghouses, and any entity that might need it for billing purposes
