Week 9!

On Tuesday I spent the first half of the day at my internship on a new project for an agent. Basically he had surveillance DVDs, and needed me to make 2 copies of each DVD, and label each disc. It was an easy task that took about half of the day. The second part of the day I looked around for a project, and was given something from a woman who works with OEI, Office of Evaluations and Inspections. She is only in the OIG office for a few months or so, working on a specific project. She had me work on an Excel spreadsheet. I used the original and created a new one identifying each date, how many people were serviced that day, their HIC numbers (similar to SSNs), names of patients, and how many people's services were allowed/paid for by Medicare.  I started on this project, but I think it may take me a while to complete, however I may be able to complete it on Friday. I like that people are using me now to help them with their projects; I like to stay busy and be involved with the agents.

Friday I spent the entire day working on the database project for the woman from OEI. I continued to sift through the database and narrow it down to the necessary information that she needs.

 

Class on Thursday was good...We read a short excerpt called "Beyond Retribution." We discussed restorative justice concepts, about holding offenders accountable and repairing harm done by crimes. We watched a video on Victim-Offender Mediation and discussed it afterward!!
