Assignment: Global Acute Respiratory Acidosis Questions

Understanding Mapping Assignment

(Note: In order to complete the assignment, the use of the I-MAGIC tool (Interactive Map-Assisted Generation of ICD Codes) is required. To access the I-MAGIC tool, click on the following )

The development of maps between terminologies and classifications will not eliminate administrative coding or the need for expertise in code selection. Fully automating the process of mapping from a reference terminology to a classification system is challenging because of the inherent differences between them. The mapping process is straightforward when the source terminology and the target match up. When more information is needed to express the concept in the target a methodology to bring in contextual information to further refine the map output must be defined.

Problems and diagnoses can be recorded in SNOMED CT in the EHR, while the cross-mappings to ICD-10-CM can be used to assist with the reimbursement process. For example, The physician documents that the patient has congestive heart failure using a lexicon linked to SNOMED CT in the problem list. When the HIM coding professional accesses their application to concurrently code the patient’s diagnosis they would see the congestive heart failure entry with the ICD-10-CM code which is mapped to this SNOMED CT concept. The coder could then accept, reject or modify the code list to be used for reimbursement purposes.

Assignment: Create a Mapping Table

Part I: Read about ICD-10 construction in the AHIMA article:

Part II: Go to  and familiarize yourself with the I-MAGIC (Interactive Map-Assisted Generation of ICD Codes) tool. Create a table to map the following diagnoses from SNOMED to ICD-10-CM. Keep in mind some of the codes may have a one-to-many relationship. Be sure to include any accompanying ICD Notes within your table, for the following diagnoses listed below.

1. Acute Respiratory acidosis
2. Chronic otitis media; unspecified ear
3. Failure to thrive; child
4. Fracture of the thoracic spine; unspecified
5. Nontoxic diffuse goiter
6. Essential hypertension

Answer the following questions:

1. Explain how Mapping is used by healthcare institutions in EHR environment.

2. Offer an analysis of 3 Pros and 3 Cons of I-MAGIC.

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to.

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

Sincerely,
