There are several definition of source code, which makes regulating it difficult because different regulators may have varying conceptions of just what it is, and as a result, what kinds of rules should attach to it.
The general definition of source code that most people acknowledge is “the version of software as it is originally written by a human in plain text” (Source Code). According to this definition, code is written by humans in order to create software, which can be any operating system, program or data with a processor. The average person can see that the source code would be the code that the software needs in order to function. This is source code but source code is also much more.
Another definition states holds that source code is “any fully executable description of a software system. It is therefore so construed as to include machine code, very high level languages and executable graphical representations of systems” (Harman). At first glance, it seems just like the other definition. However, it only seems that way because we automatically apply the assumption that the “executable description” is the same as the “version of software” which may not necessarily be the case. The description leads us to believe that the source code does not necessarily have to run the software but can just be a description for said software. The first definition leads us to believe that the code is that specific software. The second definition also mentions “machine code” and
As viewed by many HIM professionals Computer-assisted coding is a valuable tool for enhancing the effectiveness of coding and billing. CAC software scans medical documentation in the electronic health record (EHRs) using a natural language processing (NLP) engine, identifying key terminology and proposing codes for that specific treatment or service. Human coder then revised these codes. CAC can also investigate the background of key words to conclude whether they need coding.
The Code Talker is a book written by Joseph Bruchac. It is a novel about the Navajo Marines of World War Two. It especially focuses on one particular Indian code talker, Ned Begay. The book walks you through the life of Ned Begay from him being a small schoolboy to a Navajo Marine.
First let us take a look at computer programming. This element takes on different program designs created by engineers and uses one of several different programming languages to write executable code that computers can read. Programming is the source for
Code switching is a part of everyone’s daily life. Gloria Anzaldua expressed how she used code switching in her story “How to Tame a Wild Tongue.” Anzaldua grew up in Texas, near the Mexico border, to a Mexican-American family. Her family primarily spoke Spanish, but while at school and in the community, they had to speak English, the accepted language of America (Anzaldua 530). Anzaldua did not want her native language to die, so she wrote “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” to express her feelings, and to show how code switching affected her everyday life. In the story, Anzaldua expressed that depending on who she was talking to,
America is a constant changing place, it is the act of becoming different. Throughout history the Native Americans were mistreated by the Unites States Government, it wasn’t until America realized it needed the Native People to accomplish its victory against Japan. America was in need for the Native American language.
I love coding in my free time and I do truly believe that I flourish when I find myself coding. The limits of what you can do with coding are next to non-existent, and the idea of a platform with infinite possibilities engrosses me and leads to me to work as efficiently as possible towards the end goal of creating a product in which I see infinite possibilities. On top of that, another possible contributing reason for why I think coding may allow me to flourish is that with the infinite possibilities (as I stated before) comes curiosity, a curiosity that has no conclusion. The feeling of curiosity I feel as I code has a cause and effect relationship with me in that it turns me onto new methods of coding or new languages of coding which then
The E/M code's is a big important part in this process. Being a health care professional, using the medical code's. like medicare, medicaid, other private insurance to be reimbursement. If not using the right code, the doctor office, hospital, and urgent care. Will lose a lot of money. So using the right cpt code's insurance companies, office, hospital, and urgent care can be reimbursement correct. Cause CPT code's are formed with 5 digits.
From the textbook, we are shown five examples of coding methods, with three explained in deeper detail. They are the Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC), the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), Unicode, International Alphabet 5 (IA5), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Each of these coding methods are different, but do have some similarities. ASCII was the standard coding method used due to vendors using it as the bases for their devices for so many years. Unicode is special due to being made as the multilingual coding method. It borrows from other coding methods to generate a code that can be deciphered by most major technology based regions around the world. It uses ASCII as part of its bases, which allows user to translate ASCII based programing code into
In our recent negotiation, my partner Dave and I assumed the roles of Alan Hacker, a computer software developer, and Alan Hacker’s lawyer. Being the lawyer in the negotiation my objective was to avoid litigation with my client’s partner Stanley Star and to aid in the continuation of my client’s co-owned company HackerStar. In addition, I would assist Hacker in coming to an agreement that would be satisfying for him both personally and financially. I felt that Dave and I presented a reasonable argument on Hacker’s behalf and, since I was able to apply some of our class readings during the process, I was overall pleased with the outcome.
The second standard of Ethical Coding is to report all healthcare data elements required for external reporting purposes completely and accurately, in accordance with regulatory and documentation standards and requirements and applicable official coding conventions, rules, and guidelines. Under this standard, a coding professional should first adhere to the ICD coding conventions, official coding guidelines approved by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), American Hospital Association (AHA), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the CPT rules established by the AHA, and any other official coding rules and guidelines established
The coding compliance policy should include many procedures for the organization to follow. The first set of procedures should include specific guidelines for coding. Unique diagnosis and new medical procedures are utilized occasionally. Creating a plan to process these codes needs to be included by the coding manager. The policy should address what to do if there is not enough information to assign a correct code. The coding manager also needs to establish procedures for incorrect reported codes. Any incorrect code reported to a database needs to be corrected. Another procedure for coding included in the policy would be creating a mechanism to select optional codes for research purposes by the faculty. Providing oversight to the coding process is a necessary component to the compliance policy. The coding manager must create a method for auditing the department. The audit should also include an action
Regulation would have two great difficulties before it even hit the ground. Firstly, the regulation of any type of human thought or design would be immensely difficult on the small scale facing vehement opposition. Secondly, for there to be any meaningful regulation, the policies would have to be employed globally to prevent some economies from gaining competitive advantages. It is reasonable to assume that any global teamwork on the necessary scale to accomplish something like regulation of technological innovation is borderline impossible.
Each programming language uses a piece of software, called a compiler or an interpreter, to translate your program code into machine language. Machine language is also called binary language, and is represented as a series of 0s and 1s. The compiler or interpreter that translates your code tells you if any programming language component has been used incorrectly. Syntax errors are relatively easy to locate and correct because the compiler or interpreter you use highlights every syntax error. If you write a computer program using a language such as C++ but spell one of its words incorrectly or reverse the proper order of two words, the software lets you know that it found a mistake by displaying an error message as soon as you try to translate the program.
A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The most common reason for wanting
Software engineering (SE) is the profession concerned with specifying, designing, developing and maintaining software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, and other fields.
