  Patient Satisfaction

  $17.50

  Requirements:

  In the best interest of patient centered care, the Board of Trustees has noticed a decline in our patient satisfaction results.  I need you to tell me what you think the top patient satisfaction issues in our clinic might be.  List at least 10, and you need to also help me assess whether or not these issues are systemic, or due to the fact that some patients just like to complain.  Focus on the systemic issues and present a discussion of how we can improve the patient satisfaction.  I expect a 2 page paper in Microsoft Word detailing your thoughts on patient satisfaction.  The third page of this paper will be a 10 question patient satisfaction survey.  We need to know the patient’s thoughts. These need to be measurable—I need you to tell me why.

  Additionally, you need to identify what percentage of the patients would receive the survey. You may need to reflect back to how many patients we see based on your research for the “Know your Staff” exercise. What is the duration of the survey, how will it be administered and what percentage would need to respond in order for this to be a significant survey. This should not be a guess.

  Mini-Case: Cupcake Project Cash Flow

  $15.00

  Mini-Case: Cupcake Project Cash Flow

  Adapted from Chapter 11 Mini-Case in Foundations of Finance

  Gammy is considering building a facility to manufacture cupcakes to distribute nationally. Your assignment involves both the calculation of cash flows associated with the new investment under consideration and the evaluation of several mutually exclusive projects. Grammy wants you to meet with everyone involved and write a meeting report for the board of directors that includes your recommendation. In addition to the recommendation, you have been asked to respond to a number of questions aimed at understanding the capital-budgeting process. Grammy wants to be sure that she and the board of directors understand cash flow and capital budgeting.

  We are considering constructing a building to manufacture cupcakes. Currently we are in the 34 percent marginal tax bracket with a 15 percent required rate of return or cost of capital. This project is expected to last 5 years and then, because this is somewhat of a fad product, be terminated. The following information describes the project:

  Cost of new plant and equipment	$7,900,000
  Shipping and installation costs	$   100,000
  Unit Sales	Year                     Units Sold 1                                         70,000 2                                        120,000 3                                        140,000 4                                         80,000 5                                         60,000
  Sales price per unit	$300/unit in years 1 through 4, $260/unit in year 5
  Variable cost per unit	$180/unit
  Annual fixed costs	$200,000 per year in years 1 – 5
  Working-capital requirements	There will be an initial working-capital requirement of $100,000 just to get production started. For each year, the total investment in net working capital will be equal to 10 percent of the dollar value of sales for that year.   Thus, the investment in working capital will increase during years 1 through 3, then decrease in year 4. Finally, all working capital is liquidated at the termination of the project at the end of year 5.
  The depreciation method	Use the simplified straight-line method over 5 years. Assume the plant and equipment will have no salvage value after 5 years.

  1. Read Chapter 11 of your textbook. As you read, consider how you will evaluate the Cupcake Project Cash Flow and what recommendation you will make to Grammy and the board.
  2. Download FIN 310 Foundations of Finance Chapter 11.ppt and review it to further your understanding of this chapter.
  3. Review the section of chapter 5 in Management Communications: A Case Study Approach related to meeting reports.
  4. Review Genesis 47: 18 – 19 and consider how it relates to this project. Feel free to supplement your application of biblical truth with other passages of scripture.
  5. Download and read the Mini-Case Cupcake Project Cash Flow and develop a meeting report that answers the following questions:
     1. Should you focus on cash flows or accounting profits in making the capital-budgeting decision? Should you be interested in incremental cash flows, incremental profits, total free cash flow, or total profits?
     2. How does depreciation affect free cash flow?
     3. How do sunk costs affect the determination of cash flows?
     4. What is the project’s initial outlay?
     5. What are the differential cash flows over the project’s life?
     6. What is the terminal cash flow?
     7. Draw a cash-flow diagram for this project.
     8. What is its net present value?
     9. What is its internal rate of return?
     10. Should the project be accepted? Why or why not?
     11. How does Genesis 47: 18 – 19 relate to this project and cash flow management?
  6. Your meeting report should:
     1. Answer the questions stated above.
     2. Focus on.
        1. What action is required?
        2. Who is responsible?

  • What the timing will be.

  Clarify the difference between an EMR and an EHR

  $10.00

  Electronic Record

  If you remember from week one, we have issues with our records system.  As promised, I attended a seminar on integrating Electronic Records into an existing practice.  What I was hoping for was some clarification regarding electronic records, but now I am concerned about all of the information I was given and about where the facility is in the grand scheme of things as we only use paper records.  What I need from you is a two page informational paper discussing the following:

  1. Clarify the difference between an EMR and an EHR.
  2. Is our facility (a Primary Care Facility) required to obtain and operate a functional EHR by a certain deadline? If so, what is the deadline?
  3. What is “meaningful use” and why is it important to us?
  4. They kept talking about interoperability.  Why is that word important to us?
  5. What would be our first step as a practice if and when we need to move toward an EHR?
  6. Are we at risk for being penalized if we do not establish and Electronic Records System?

  How might 3D printing affect the current Value Network

  $5.00

  3D Printing in Education

  Reading Response 3:

  This is your third question for the Disrupting Class book reading responses. Choose one and reply in approximately 300 words in a Word document.

  • How might 3D printing affect the current Value Network (see fig 5.1) in education? If teachers or groups of teachers create their own instructional materials, how would this affect the accepted materials adoption process?

  • The digital divide is frequently cited as a barrier to increasing cognitive capacity related to technology skills. It stands to reason that young children could increase their capacity to understand or visualize spatial relationships by using 3D design software like Printshop on portable devices. What could communities do to level the playing field in regard to getting young children exposure to 3D designing applications? Could VPK programs, libraries and possibly daycare programs have an influence? In the absence of electronic technology, could something as simple as building toys like legos help children develop spatial skills?
