Hospitals and health systems should take the following steps to improve their revenue cycle performance: > Collect patient responsibility amounts up front > Reduce credit balance accounts > Reduce preregistered patient no-shows > Identify and manage unbilled accounts receivable Healthcare reform will bring about the most far-reaching changes to hospital operations since the inception of Medicar...

The bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) has been known for a long time to be poisonous to cattle (Penberthy, 1893) and horses (Muller, 1897) under farm conditions. Field cases of bracken poisoning in sheep are almost unknown; the more selective feeding habits of sheep may be responsible for their apparent immunity. Bracken poisoning has been experimentally produced in cattle (Almond, I 894), hor...

In the past two decades, many researchers have studied index 2 Gauss sums, where group generated by characteristic p of underling finite field is in unit Z/mZ for order m multiplicative character involved. A complete solution to problem evaluating sums was given Yang and Xia (2010). particular, it known that some nonzero integral powers this case are quadratic fields. On other hand, Chowla (196...

Purpose: Surfactant proteins (SPs) are involved in the regulation of rheological properties of body fluids. Concentrations of SPs are altered in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of hydrocephalus patients. The common hallmark of hydrocephalus is enlargement of the brain ventricles. The relationship of both phenomena has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associatio...

Continuing a line of investigation initiated in [11] exploring the connections between Jost and Evans functions and (modified) Fredholm determinants of Birman–Schwinger type integral operators, we here examine the stability index, or sign of the first nonvanishing derivative at frequency zero of the characteristic determinant, an object that has found considerable use in the study by Evans func...

Complex ideas like evolution-which run counter to common, but mistaken, intuitive knowledge are challenging, both for exhibit developers and for the evaluation and research teams who assess the impact of exhibitions. It is always difficult to document measurable changes in deep conceptual understanding following a single visit to an exhibition (Allen, 2008, p. 58); Is this even possible with co...

An observer-based, standardized index of housing quality (structural quality, privacy, indoor climate, hazards, cleanliness/clutter, and children’s resources) is significantly related to psychological distress and a behavioral index of learned helplessness, which reflects an important component of human motivation. Independent of household income, thirdthrough fifth-grade children residing in p...
