Billing And Coding

INTRODUCTION: Billing and coding (B&C) are important aspects of medical practice that many feel are taught inadequately during residency. In addressing this deficiency, residency programs must determine when and how to teach B&C. Some programs teach through informal methods or direct their education only towards senior residents and/or certain career paths. Is this approach ideal? This study evaluated pediatric resident attitudes towards formal B&C education, by post graduate year (PGY), and career plans. METHODS: A survey was distributed to residents before and after implementation of a novel, formal curriculum teaching B&C. General linear models were calculated to look at differences over time of all residents and by PGY levels and future career plans. RESULTS: Among all residents, there was no change in the highly positive attitudes towards Learning is Important, Valuable Use of Time, or Want a Formal Curriculum. Perceived Knowledge increased significantly and Need to Know More decreased significantly. There were no differences between PGY levels or career plans with all years valuing and wanting education. PGY-3s scored higher than PGY-1s and PGY-2s with Perceived Knowledge. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated a strong, equal amount of interest in the formal education of B&C across all residents, regardless of training year and/or career plans. Pediatric residencies should consider implementing formal education on B&C to all residents. Pediatric resident attitudes towards billing and coding education can be used to guide the curriculum.

Childhood Vaccines

Over a decade after its debut, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage remains suboptimal. The inpatient setting presents a largely unexplored opportunity to increase vaccination rates. This study aims to describe pediatric resident attitudes toward inpatient immunization and compare differences by vaccine, in particular HPV. An anonymous survey of beliefs and practices regarding inpatient vaccines was distributed to pediatric resident physicians at a single freestanding urban children’s hospital in September 2017. A total of 58 surveys were collected (64% response rate). We found that pediatric residents were more likely to report that they never or rarely discuss the HPV vaccine during hospitalization compared with the primary childhood series ( P = .001), Tdap ( P = .02), and the influenza vaccine ( P < .001), and rarely offer the HPV vaccine during hospitalization compared with childhood vaccines ( P = .003) and influenza ( P = .001). This suggests that provider hesitancy still exists for the HPV vaccine, presenting opportunities for further education and inpatient interventions.

New Generation

Traditionally, health sciences libraries have supported patrons who are preparing for medical licensure examinations by collecting and making accessible board exam preparation resources, such as questions banks and study guides. However, when online board exam preparation resources are not available for licensing, providing equitable access to all library users can be a challenge. In recent years, a new generation of online study resources has emerged. Sites such as SketchyMedical and Picmonic use visual learning mnemonics, while resources such as Quizlet leverage crowd-sourcing to generate study content. While some of the content from these resources is made freely available, these resources are often limited to paid individual subscribers. This new generation of study resources, thus, presents a conundrum for health sciences librarians. On the one hand, these innovative resources offer new insights into how students learn and study, reflecting pedagogical trends in self-directed learning. On the other hand, the proprietary individual subscription-based model of these resources can widen the achievement gap between students who can afford to pay subscription costs and those who cannot. This commentary provides an overview of some of the most popular medical board examination preparation resources that have emerged in recent years. The authors suggest that health sciences librarians collaborate with medical students and educators to better understand and evaluate these resources.

Exam Result

The capability or calibre cannot be judged based on Results, as it depends on the student to student & also the examination is testing of knowledge of a student, for the whole year in two or three hours. In July 2020 the exam result of the secondary standard was declared by the Board of School Education Haryana, Bhiwani and there is a discussion about topper & the schools in which these toppers were studying & strategy of these toppers regarding exam preparation, their interviews & photos were published in the Newspapers, why not? It must be but in this spark light, there is some darkness behind this. Everyone is congratulating these students, as they are studied from the Private Schools of the Urban City areas of the Haryana, a few are from the most educated families, whose parents their selves are teachers or professors. Through this, we are ignoring a bitter truth of the poor students of the Government Schools, who despite lack of all the big & small facilities, as compare of these Private schools’ performed equal to these toppers. KEYWORDS: Testing of knowledge, Education in Private Schools, Toppers and Calibre.
