Answer to Question 1

All states and the District of Columbia require nursing home administrators to have a bachelor's degree, pass a licensing examination, complete a state-approved training program, and pursue continuing education. The American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA) offers the Certified Nursing Home Administrator (CNHA) credential, which is endorsed by the National Association of Boards of Examiners for Long Term Care Administrators (NAB) as an option for state licensure reciprocity.

Answer to Question 2

A utilization manager is responsible for coordinating patient care to ensure the appropriate utilization of resources, delivery of health care services, and timely discharge or transfer. Because health information managers have extensive knowledge of coding and reimbursement systems, and such knowledge is needed by some utilization managers, health information managers make good candidates for this position.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
