The health informatics professional needs an understanding of the basic principles of the third-party payer system and the many options that are available to citizens through government-funded healthcare programs. Private and commercial insurance companies and Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans offer a different menu of options to their clients. One issue is certain: All third-party payers are interested in decreasing healthcare costs while improving quality and controlling access to unneeded services.
This task will allow you to examine the complexity of the healthcare reimbursement systems and begin to compare the similarities and differences between them. To complete this task, read the attached “A Lifetime of Healthcare Services,” which is a case scenario about a woman named Sophie. Then create a multimedia presentation, diagram, table, or other illustration comparing the differences and similarities among the various insurance options and reimbursement systems that were used to pay for Sophie’s medical care throughout her lifetime.
You are explaining these reimbursement systems from the perspective of a billing department manager training two new staff members. You believe that if you can explain these systems with a real patient, it will be easier for your new staff to understand the various requirements of these reimbursement systems.A. Compare Sophie’s health insurance options for each of the five phases of her life.1. Recommend the health insurance option that would provide the best coverage to meet Sophie’s needs during each phase.a. List the elements of each plan you recommended.b. Discuss the reimbursement requirements of each plan you recommended.c. Discuss restrictions to each plan you recommended.
B. If you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.Attachment: A lifetime of Healthcare Services

Use of Resources to Promote Translation of Evidence into Practice
For this Discussion, you are asked to evaluate the use of a health information system and other resources in your practicum setting. What are the implications of resource use in terms of planning for and implementing your proposed evidence-based change?
To prepare:

Consider the benefits and limitations of the use of a      health information system within your practicum setting. What impact do      you think this might have for your proposed evidence-based change? Draw      upon at least one relevant example of a current or previous change      initiative at your setting as you assess this. (If your setting does not      have a health information system, you can still discuss the benefits and      limitations of not having a health information system as it relates to      this change.)
What other resources (e.g., financial, staffing,      materials) are important to consider as well? Why?
Be prepared to support your Discussion postings with      evidence from the literature and specific examples related to your      practicum setting.

By tomorrow Wednesday 4/3/19  2pm write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least 3 references (see list or required readings below). Include the level one headers as numbered below:
Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Within your practicum setting, what are the benefits and limitations of using a health information system? How might this impact planning for and implementing your proposed change?
2) Describe three potential resource considerations that could facilitate or inhibit your proposed change and explain your rationale.
