Description Instructions This assessment addresses the following course objective(s): Select methods to work effectively with patients, providers, and payers to create more effective delivery models. Hospitals are made up of cost centers (that spend revenue) and profit centers (that generate revenue). While allocating yearly capital to fund profit centers seems logical, cost centers are also essential in supporting the safe and perpetual operation of your clinical profit centers. Consider the following scenario: You are the CFO with a hospital and have a three-million-dollar FY budget allocation for your cost centers. While they collectively requested considerably more, your job is to assess each department and distribute funding by quarter for one fiscal year. Part A: Create an Excel spreadsheet Using fictional information, list multiple cost centers (examples below). Show funding allocations for each quarter for each department as you believe the three million should be distributed. Cost Center examples: Maintenance Department, Safety and Security Department, Quality Assurance, Environmental Services (Housekeeping), Administration Offices, Facilities Planning, and New Renovations, Medical Records, Patient Services (Registration, Billing, Collections), etc. Part B: Write a memo In Microsoft Word, write a memo to be distributed to all cost center department heads explaining your rationale for your funding distribution decision. Keep in mind, department managers may believe they should have received more funding than the others. Your goal is to quiet their concerns, calm any anger or frustration, and to remind them of their value to the collective hospital mission. All information is fictional. You may assume details and fictional state data to solidify your rationale. Include a cover and reference page, in APA style. Include a minimum of three scholarly sources to support your work. In-text citations are not necessary for this assignment.
Description the methods to use to quantify the extent of a disease by defining prevalence (the proportion of the population that have a risk factor under study) and incidence (the likelihood of developing a disease). Find an epidemiological study in Saudi Arabia, if possible, on the cumulative incidence of a disease by using a person-time study where the participants either develop a disease during the specified time period. Discuss the participants at risk at the beginning of the study and the persons who developed the disease during the study and discuss the concept of the incidence rate of the disease under study.
Description As a manager, you have been chosen to present information on two choices for your company’s new health insurance carrier for employees. Assume you are also able to use an insurer within the Gulf Cooperation Council. Research the various providers in Saudi Arabia and choose one that meets the needs of your company. Then, choose another country within the Gulf Corporation Council and locate a similar insurance provider option. Create a comparison analysis presentation about both insurance providers. Be sure to include the following: The different benefits available to the employees through their health insurance plan; The responsibility of the employer in terms of premiums; The advantages and benefits of both plans; How do Saudi Arabia and the other GCC country you chose fund national health services and How moral hazard plays into a company’s health benefit plan. The presentation should meet the following structural requirements: Organized into seven slides, plus the title and reference slides. Employ professional themes and transitions.
Description Unit VII Assignment OSH 3301, Fundamentals of Occupational Safety and Health 2 Part 1 Your boss has asked you to review the accident information for the CSU Widget Factory. He sent you the OSHA Forms 300 and 300A. Using the provided CSU Widget Factory OSHA 300A log, calculate the total recordable incidence rate (TRIR); the days away, restricted, or transferred (DART) rate; the lost workday injury and illness rate (LWDII); and the severity rate (SR). Be sure to show your calculations in a Word document. Part 2 Your boss wants more information on one of the accidents listed on the CSU Widget Factory OSHA 300 log. He has sent you the OSHA Form 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report, for the accident involving William Smith. Mr. Smith's supervisor filled out the form, but it only includes basic information. To prepare to conduct a more thorough investigation, do the following: Develop a list of five questions to ask Mr. Smith’s supervisor about the circumstances surrounding the incident. Explain the importance of each question you create. Select two theories of accident causation, and explain how you would use them to help in the accident investigation. Part 3 As the new Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) manager for the CSU Widget Factory, you recently completed a study of the injuries entered on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300 form over the past 12 months. Your findings revealed the following: Eight employees were treated for various levels of heat strain during the summer months. Six were working indoors in the warehouse, and two were working outdoors doing grounds maintenance. All were first aid injuries. There were six forklift accidents that resulted in injuries: Three dropped loads struck nearby workers. All received first aid. One forklift flipped over going around a corner, ejecting the operator. The operator lost 10 days of work and was on restricted duty for 30 days. Two employees working in the warehouse aisles were struck by forklifts. Both were medical treatment injuries. Five electrical shocks were reported in the machine shop. All occurred during routine equipment maintenance. All were medical treatment injuries, but none resulted in days away from work. There were nine eye injuries in the machine shop. Five were foreign particles in the eye, and four were machine oil splashes. All were reported as first aid injuries. Six employees in the plating shop were treated for inhalation of solvent vapors. Two resulted in lost workdays, and the others were medical treatment injuries. To reduce workplace injuries, select two program areas from the analysis above that should receive immediate attention. Select two OSH programs from the following: Heat Stress, Powered Industrial Vehicles, Material Handling and Storage, Hazardous Energy Control (Lockout / Tagout), Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), Respiratory Protection Program. Complete the following: 1. Discuss why the specific OSH program area was selected. 2. Explain how you would identify and assess the hazards related to this program area. 3. Discuss some possible hazard control measures that could be used to reduce risk. 4. Identify training requirements for the program area. 5. Propose methods for ensuring employees comply with safety procedures.
