Overview: HIM professionals have a responsibility to adhere to the core values and principles set forth by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) Code of Ethics. These values and principles include privacy, security, and maintenance of patient healthcare information, as well as striving to deliver the highest quality of healthcare for all patients. Understanding and adapting to cultural differences for all patients is imperative for a healthcare professional. Case Study: A 20-year-old, pregnant, Black-Hispanic female presented to the emergency department (ED) in critical condition following a single-vehicle car accident. She exhibited signs and symptoms of internal bleeding and was advised to have a blood transfusion and emergency surgery in an attempt to save her and the fetus. She refused to accept blood or blood products and rejected the surgery as well. Her refusal was based on a fear of blood transfusion due to her religious beliefs. Respond to the case study by considering the following:  Describe the role of AHIMA in the healthcare industry.  How does the AHIMA Code of Ethics apply to this situation? Specifically, describe the ethical dilemma.  Should the hospital respect her wishes? Why or why not?  How do ethical theories, principles, and values influence your assessment?  What strategies should the HIM leaders of the hospital take to ensure the organization is culturally competent and following healthcare standards of ethics? This assignment will help you understand ethical and cultural dilemmas in healthcare that you can incorporate into your final project.

Chapter 18 Problem 8 The average daily net transaction accounts balance of a local bank during the most recent reserve computation period is $325 million. The amount of average daily reserves at the Fed during the reserve maintenance period is $22.6 million and the average daily vault cash corresponding to the computation period is $4.3 million. What is the average daily reserve balance required to be held by the bank during the maintenance period? Is the bank in compliance with the reserve requirements? What amount of reserves can be carried over to the next maintenance period either as excess or as shortfall? If the local bank has an opportunity cost of 6 percent and deposits at the Fed pay 0.5 percent, what is the effect on the income statement from this reserve period? Chapter 26 Problem 6 An FI is planning to issue $100 million in BB rated commercial loans. The FI will finance the loans by issuing demand deposits. What is the minimum amount of capital required under Basel III? What is the minimum amount of demand deposits needed to fund this loan assuming there is a 10 percent average reserve requirement on demand deposits?
