...Program Testing and Debugging Mack Altman III Capella University Author Note This paper is being submitted on April 27, 2015, for Azad Ali’s IT-FP2240 Introduction to Programming course. Program Testing and Debugging Introduction The purpose of this document is to present a detailed description of the Mortgage Calculator. It will explain the application requirements, methods of handling errors within the application, and how to involve the client during the application assessment process. While the application is basic in nature, the application provides an example of work performed to establish the capabilities of its author to utilize error handling within an application. Application Requirements The only functional requirement of the application is to prompt the user to supply the user with their potential monthly mortgage payment. The payment should be determined by utilizing the mortgage amount, the down payment made, rate of interest on the proposed mortgage, and term of the mortgage in years. This information should be supplied by the user through prompts upon the execution of the application. In regards to non-functional requirements, the application requires the use of the stdio, math, and errno C libraries. Application Review Upon the initial execution of the application, all potential entries are initialized as float in case the user may provide a non-integer numerical value. Upon initial design, these were established as integers until the rate value was...

...Medication errors are flaws in the healthcare system that can result in injury, disease, and even death. There are ways to prevent these mistakes and to make a facility more safe by enforcing certain rules and regulations. In order for these rules to be effective, the entire healthcare team including doctors, nurses, pharmacy, etc., need to cooperate and work together. It's very common for someone to make a clumsy move which is why triple checking is becoming more and more effective today. First scenario: A patient was prescribed two completely different medications to her but with similar names. The first drug was hydroxyzine 100 mg PO QID as needed and the second was hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg PO daily. When the nurse was supposed to be giving the 100 mg dose of hydroxyzine they instead pulled four 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide pills from the automated dispensing cabinet. The nurse proceeded to administer the medication before using the barcode scanning system. Not using the barcode was her first mistake. The nurse scanned the barcode after the patient had already consumed the pills. A pop up error came up saying "medication not found" because the daily dose of hydrochlorothiazide had already been given that day. Thankfully, the patient survived this incorrect administration of medication with no side effects to report. The nurse in this scenario administered the wrong medication that ended up being four times the prescribed dose of something that had already been given...

...Adjudication Process The claims adjudication process has five steps. The steps are initial processing, automated review, manual review, determination, and payment. In the initial processing paper claims and any paper attachments are stamped with the date and entered into the payer’s computer system, by either data-entry personnel or by scanning them into the system. This process might find problems such as the patient’s name, plan identification number or plan or service code is wrong. The diagnosis code may be incorrect for the date of service or it might be missing altogether, or the gender-specific procedure code is not correct for the patient’s gender. Any claims that have mistakes are rejected. The provider is instructed to correct the errors and re-bill the service. The claim goes through the automated review after the initial process. This review looks at the patient’s time limits for filing claims, referral forms, preauthorization, and the patient’s eligibility benefits. Bundled codes, non-covered services, medical review, concurrent care, utilization review, and duplicate dates of services are also checked for during the automated review. The claim is stopped if problems are found, and the claim is set aside for manual review. During manual review, more information may need to be provided so that the claim process can be finished. An examiner receives the claim, and they can ask the provider for any additional information that is necessary for processing...

...Daniel worked in the accounting department of Lynchberg Manufacturing. Daniels was recently asked to prepare a sales budget for the year 2011. He conducted a thorough analysis and came out with projected sales of 250,000 units of product. That represents a 25 percent increase over 2010. But after some time he found that he had made some mistake in his report. The report had indirect effect on the demand and sales of the product and also the hiring of the employees. He was in making a decision to tell his superior authority about the mistake. But his friend suggested not telling as it may risk his job. After listening to him his decision got bias. But in my opinion an employee should immediately report and error when it is discovered. All employees, especially employees who are burdened with the task of making projections which may impact the future of the company must act with integrity. Small-business investors and leaders consistently rely on the ethical collection and delivery of financial information. “According to Mintz, “Integrity is a fundamental trait of character that enables a CPA to withstand client and competitive pressures that might otherwise lead to the subordination of judgment.” The priority must be based on the professional responsibilities first rather than looking at the personal interest first. What if the mistake is caught and then there will be no job rather than except the mistake and tell the superior authority there might be chance that the superior...

...feedback to pupils provides an opportunity for them to see how the respond given to their works which may be engaging or just being ignored by pupils. However, the teachers may have their own perspectives and beliefs underlying their practices. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the way teachers give written feedback to pupils’ writing, belief of their practices and factors that influencing their belief on practices in written feedback. A number of writing exercise books selected from upper level primary pupils are collected to be analysed and a few follow- up interviews being done to elicit the information data required for the purpose of this study. The results shows that most teachers focus more on the language form, giving uncoded error feedback and less written commentary given in writing. It is assumed that the factors that influence these practices are mainly because of examination culture, the time constraints and the teacher’s personal belief of written feedback. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction Written feedback is a long-standing educational practice that can arguably be linked to almost everything we learn (Evans, Hartshorn, McCollum, & Wolfersberger, 2010; Hattie & Timperley, 2007). According to Hyland & Hyland (2006), teacher written feedback is designed to carry a heavy informational load, offering commentary on the form and content or other aspects of a text to encourage pupils to develop their writing and consolidate learning...

...report is meant for reading and information, so if a report is not properly put together then these things can happen: * listed with no page numbers then they can be shuffled and get out of order * putting the headings of the columns on every page (if not it is information overload & you will lose you place) * having incorrect information/data * missing one of the who, what, when, or where (software error) * data errors The consequences to these errors are: * the wrong decisions can be made * the data can given or received can be wrong * the outputs are wrong If the analyst can notice most of the errors as he is working on them so that it may be corrected then this can help keep the project of the report going without too many complications. Prototyping is very helpful when working on reports because the analyst is able to structure and refine the report before it is viewed by the mass majority without the consequences of errors. 4. The date does not specify when the report was generated; it does not give a revision date or code for any prior report versions, does not provide any meaningful information, there is not any page number listed, the spacing of the report information does not seem to be in place. This report is done poorly and is not clear on its intended purpose.

...encountered when using and operating within a distributed system. Hardware failures occur when a single component within the system fails. Network failures refer to the failure of links within the distributed system network. Application failure occur to the failure of applications that run within the system, and can occur when the application stops working or operates incorrectly. Failure of synchronization occurs when different points in the system do not synchronize correctly. Both hardware and application failures may also occur within a centralized system as well as distributed systems. In the event of an application failure, it is important to first be able to differentiate between operator error and software error in order to determine the point of failure. When a hardware error occurs, this can be due to a few simple causes. Hardware failures occur when a single component within the system fails. The most common types of hardware failures are of a link, a site, or the loss of a message. At one point hardware failures were a common occurrence, but with recent innovations in hardware design and manufacturing these failures tend to be few and far between. Instead, more failures that now occur tend to be network or drive related. Network failures refer to the failure of links within the distributed system network. Processors within a distributed system need to be able to communicate with each other via the network. When a link in this network connection fails, this causes...

...controls ensure the complete and accurate recording of authorized transactions by only authorized users; identify rejected, suspended, and duplicate items; and ensure resubmission of rejected and suspended items (Understanding Internal Control).” These controls are critical because a large number of errors in computer systems are the results of input errors. “Input controls will ensure that data is accurately processed through the application and that no data is added, lost, or altered during processing (Hall, 2011).” There are several types of input controls for an input design such as check digits, reasonableness checks, validity checks, and batch total control. In this paper, I will discuss these input controls more in detail. When human beings use numbers - whether keying them into computers, dialing them on telephones, or reading them and telling them to others; they tend to make certain kinds of mistakes such as entering an incorrect digit, changing the order of successive digits, or adding additional digits. These types of simple mistakes are known as transposition and transcription errors. Check digits are an input control method used for detection these types of errors. “Check digits are numbers produced by mathematical calculations performed on input data such as account numbers. The calculation confirms the accuracy of input by verifying the calculated number against other data in the input data, typically the final digit (FFIEC IT Examination Handbook InfoBase)...

...Adjudication Process Tamara Hurley HCR/230 February 19th, 2014 Jill Frawley Adjudication Process There are five steps in the claims adjudication process. Each of these five steps serves the purpose of making sure that a claim is processed properly without any mistakes. Step one is the initial process, in this step most of the simple errors are fixed or caught. Some examples would be the patients name, the diagnose code may not match up with the date of service, or even have the wrong plan identification number. A claim with even one mistake will be rejected, this means that the claim will be sent back to the provider to correct the errors and resubmit the claim. The next step would be the automated review. Here a claim is reviewed for time limits of the claims filed, the benefits that the patient would be eligible for, referral forms, and if they received preauthorization for services. At this stage the claim is also checked for non-covered services, duplicate dates for services, utilization and medical review. If there are problems found in this step than the process on the claim is stopped until it can be reviewed manually. Any information still needed is requested during this review, this will ensure that the claim can be processed. When every mistake or problem has been fixed and handled than the claim will enter the determination process. The determination of if the claim will denied, paid, or have the payment reduced. After all of this than the claim...

...Errors in Compliance and Coding April 19, 2013 Errors in Compliance and Coding There's several causes that create billing and coding error in the medical field. One of the biggest errors that are made are typos, billing the same thing and dates that aren't listed on the patient's file. Typos is the most common error that is often done. When you have typos, that creates problems for the patient, doctor and the billing department. One major mistake is in the address and patient's name. Now there's double billing. Codes are used to show certain procedures have been done, but if a patient is doubled billed for the same procedure like a flu shot. The patient had one shot but was charged for two. Another common error in billing and coding is incorrect dates. Incorrect date such as patient's that are in hospital can be listed as staying for three days but was billed for eight days. This is considered to be one of two major problems that's often seen because if a patient is due for surgery on a specific day and was not done until a month later, this is considered a billing error. The only way to fix billing and coding errors are by checking and rechecking the patient's statements before there sent out to the patient. If by chance there is an error on the statement, a letter of apologize can be written in response to the billing and coding error that was made. If there's no return response, contacting the protective office in the state the error was done...

...CheckPoint: Errors and Compliance in Coding HCR 220 CheckPoint: Errors and Compliance in Coding Double billing, typos, and incorrect dates are among the most common causes of billing and coding errors that can happen. Double billing is when you have a procedure done by your provider and they try to charge you for two procedures. It could also be something as simple as a hospital billing you for taking two pills when you were only given one. Typo’s is another common billing and coding error, and can be found in the patients name or address. The last is incorrect dates entered into the file. It could be that you stayed in the hospital for four days but the hospital has you listed as staying for seven days and they end up charging you for those seven days. Solutions for the coding and billing errors are to make sure you double check you statements when they come in to make all the information are correct. If a mistake is found then you need to write a detail letter and send it to the facility or to a patient representative to make sure the error is corrected. The Medicare National Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) controls improper coding that would lead to inappropriate payment for Medicare claims. CCI has coding policies in place that are based on the coding conventions in CPT, Medicare’s national and local coverage and payment policies, National medical societies’ coding guidelines, and Medicare’s analysis of standard medical and surgical practice. CCI has thousands...
