The MHS is beginning a dramatic shift towards controlling costs and increasing productivity. To achieve these goals, the MHS initiated the Jumpstart Program, which provided Tripler Army Medical Center $924,000 to hire 12 coder-coaches to increase provider workload by 69,900 RVUs. The coder-coaches directly assist and coach providers in improving documentation and coding of encounters. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of coder-coaches on provider productivity, measured in RVUs, through improved documentation and coding at three clinics at TAMC during the first quarter (QI) FYO6. The full-model regression equation accounted for 66.73% of the variance in productivity (F4, 40 = 20.06, p.000) ANOVA showed that the family practice (F2, 8 = 18.06, p.0l), orthopedic (F2, 8 = 17.23, p.01), and obstetric clinics (F2, 8 = 8.81, p.0l) had higher productivity during QI FY06 compared to the same quarter in FY05. Specialty care setting had higher productivity than the primary care (family practice) setting (F2, 8 = 24.92, p .090).

3Glories of Ireland

By Joseph Dunn and Patrick Joseph Lennox

A collection of essays on Ireland compiled by Joseph Dunn and PJ Lennox. As stated in the Preface to the books "...we have been forced to the conclusion that the performances of the Irish race in many fields of endeavor are entirely unknown to most people, and that even to the elect they are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. Hence there came to us the thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and permanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement during the last two thousand years." - Summary by KHand
