Abstract
This study compares documentation and reimbursement rates before and after provider education in nutritional status documentation. Our study aimed to evaluate accurate documentation of nutrition status between registered dietitian nutritionists and licensed independent practitioners before and after the implementation of a dietitian-led Nutrition-Focused Physical Exam intervention at an academic medical center in the southeastern US. ICD-10 codes identified patients from 10/1/2016-1/31/2018 with malnutrition. The percentage of patients with an appropriate diagnosis of malnutrition and reimbursement outcomes attributed to malnutrition documentation were calculated up to 24 months post-intervention. 528 patients were analyzed. Pre-intervention, 8.64% of patients had accurate documentation compared to 46.3% post-intervention. Post-intervention, 68 encounters coded for malnutrition resulted in an estimated $571,281 of additional reimbursement, sustained at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. A multidisciplinary intervention improved physician documentation accuracy of malnutrition status and increased reimbursement rates.

Abstract
A computational examination of the four modes of addition in the Diels-Alder reactions of 3-substituted cyclopropene derivatives (substituents: BH(2), CH(3), SiH(3), NH(2), PH(2), OH, SH, F, and Cl) with butadiene have been carried out at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d)//HF/6-31++G(d) level. The degree of stabilization of these derivatives at the ground state correlates with the electronegativity of the substituent. This attenuation of reactivity and differences in steric interactions are the only factors needed to explain both the high facial selectivity and the differences in the endo-exo selectivity seen in these reactions. Furthermore, evidence is presented that indicates that stabilization by an interaction involving the syn C-3 hydrogen of cyclopropene and butadiene is small or irrelevant in controlling the endo-exo selectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction.
