Local Hospital (LH) has decided that it would like to send nurses to a local supermarket to provide a free health screening for interested supermarket customers. The screening will consist of measuring the individual’s blood pressure and taking a drop of blood, which will be immediately tested for several critical indicators. The director of public relations at the hospital believes that 100 people will take advantage of the screening each day. The plan is to provide the screening every day for one week; thus, a total of 700 screenings are expected. LH expects the supermarket to provide a $1,000 grant to help defray the costs of the program (since it will likely draw more customers to the store). LH anticipates the following expenses: Test Equipment Rental $500 For 1 week Nurses $50/hr Total of 10 hrs/day for 7 days Blood tests $1 Per individual tested Determine the special purpose budget for the program.

Valley Hospital began using standards to evaluate its Admissions Department. The standard was broken into two types of admissions as follows:
Type of Admission
Standard Time to CompleteAdmission Record
Unscheduled
30 min.
Scheduled
20 min.

Sirens are a constant feature. However, once inside, there is just the hustle and bustle of hospital staff going back and forth. A hospital readmission is when a patient who is discharged from the hospital, is re-admitted again within a certain period of time. Hospital readmission rates for certain conditions are now considered an indicator of hospital quality, and also affect the cost of care adversely. For this reason, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) which aims to improve quality of care for patients and reduce health care spending by applying payment penalties to hospitals that have more than expected readmission rates for certain conditions. Although diabetes is not yet included in the penalty measures, the program is regularly adding new disease…arrow_forwardSuppose that the average waiting time for a patient at a physicians office is just over 29 minutes. To address the issue of long patient wait times, some physicians offices are using wait-tracking systems to notify patients of expected wait times. Patients can adjust their arrival times based on this information and spend less time in waiting rooms. The following data show wait times (in minutes) for a sample of patients at offices that do not have a wait-tracking system and wait times for a sample of patients at offices with such systems. a. What are the mean and median patient wait times for offices with a wait-tracking system? What are the mean and median patient wait times for offices without a wait-tracking system? b. What are the variance and standard deviation of patient wait times for offices with a wait-tracking system?

- Sunshield Insurance takes 15 days to make payments on insurance claims. Claims are processed through three departments: data input, claims audit, and claims adjustment.

Hence, the implementation of the following measures is adopt by the management to reduce lead time. Adopt just-in-time principles in its claims payment operations Switching from paper forms to electronic forms Design claims payment "cells" that are organized around different types of insurance products or customers rather than processes Implement a "pull" scheduling processes.

The doctor is knowledgeable about office management practices and has segregated the cash receipt duties as follows: Lena opens the mail and prepares a triplicate list of money received. Lena sends one copy of the list to Carrie, the cashier, who deposits the receipts daily in the bank. Margaret, the recordkeeper, receives a copy of the list and posts payments to the patients' accounts. About once a month, the office clerks have an expensive lunch they pay for as follows. First Carrie endorses a patient's check in the doctor's name and cashes it at the bank. Lena then destroys the remittance advice accompanying the check. Finally, Margaret posts payment to the customer's account as a miscellaneous credit. The three justify their actions by their relatively low pay and knowledge that the doctor will likely never miss the money. What went wrong with the doctor's internal controls?arrow_forward
