What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

ICD-10-CM Implementation: Structure, Coding, and Challenges

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a program that is designed in order to record statistics of morbidity and mortality and for the indexing of hospital records of disease. ICD is published by the World Health Organization (WHO). It has always been statistically difficult to categorize diseases according to any one specific category since different professions that work with diseases have traditionally classified them according to different categories. The pathologist, for instance, is primarily interested in the natural course of the disease process, whilst the anatomist may prefer to have a classification that groups the disease according to the effected part of the body. The statistical classification of disease and injuries depends upon how the practitioner will use it, but since each practitioner uses it according to his particular field, statistical programs have generally had a hard time categorizing diseases statistically. More so, adjustments also have to be made to meet the different requirements of various different agencies, for instance, armed forces, hospitals, and medical services. For these reasons the ICD- 10-CM came out as an attempted improvement to its predecessors.

Tea Party's Push to Repeal the 14th and 17th Amendments

The argument between state and federal authority is a commonplace one in the history of constitutional debate. However, this discussion shows, this debate has often been used as a way to mask ulterior motives. Just as slave states used state rights as an argument to protect slavery, so too has the Tea Party, in its push to repeal the 14th and 17th Amendments, used states rights to overshadow inherently racialist ambitions.
