Leveraging Coding Audits to Document Care Quality and Optimize Financial Performance in a Value-Based World

Scarcity frames value.

Economic models of decision making assume that people have a stable way of thinking about value. In contrast, psychology has shown that people's preferences are often malleable and influenced by normatively irrelevant contextual features. Whereas economics derives its predictions from the assumption that people navigate a world of scarce resources, recent psychological work has shown that peopl...

Optimize olefin operations

B ulk petrochemical manufacturing is a highly competitive global industry. When margins are tight, manufacturers seek ways to optimize performance and to reduce costs while maximizing yields and revenue. Optimization options include alternative feeds, plant/process revamps and improved operations to achieve better separation and yields to lower energy consumption, to minimize product loss and t...

Leveraging naturally distributed data redundancy to optimize collective replication

Dumping large amounts of related data simultaneously to local storage devices instead of a parallel file system is a frequent I/O pattern of HPC applications running at large scale. Since local storage resources are prone to failures and have limited potential to serve multiple requests in parallel, techniques such as replication are often used to enable resilience and high availability. Howeve...
