...Health Care Case Study: Financial Statements University of Phoenix Health Care Financial Accounting HCS/405 December 06, 2010 Health Care Case Study: Financial Statements This paper is a health care case study of financial statements for Patton-Fuller Community Hospital. This summary is a review of the annual report and financial statements and the differences between the audited and the unaudited statements. The financial ratios are examined to determine if there has been improvement from 2008 to 2009 and to explain the cause. This paper will also summarize the relationship between revenue sources and expenses and explain the effect of revenue sources on financial reporting. The summary will also determine how the hospital’s revenues and expenses are grouped for planning and control. Audited and Unaudited Financial Statements The balance sheets for the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital for the years of 2008 and 2009 appear to have a discrepancy of $1,000,000 in the patient accounts received. On the 2009 unaudited statement, there was $59,787,000 and on the audited there was $58,787,000 which accounts for the $1,000,000 difference. Additionally on the Statement of Revenue and Expense for years 2008 and 2009 there was a discrepancy of $1,000,000 in 2009. This discrepancy appeared on the provision for doubtful accounts. The unaudited report showed $13,797,000 and the audited shows $14,797,000 which accounts for the $1,000,000 difference. This makes the “net...

...Abstract As life expectancy increases the number of older adults requiring long-term care of some kind increases. These adults have varying needs, but most adults have problems with skin integrity, muscle weakness, and emotional issues in long-term care facilities. Interventions to meet these needs focus on preventing skin break down, improving muscle strength to prevent falls, and settings that promote usefulness and a feeling of not being alone. Current options available to older adults may not meet all of their needs, and creativity is needed in devising interventions to meet these needs. Structuring long-term care settings to encourage activity in older adults and connecting with other generations can help prevent feelings of loneliness and uselessness, and help older adults live meaningful and productive lives in long-term care settings. Long-Term Healthcare Needs of the Elderly As adults age many will require long-term health care. The evolving needs of the older adult population will require creative and new ways to meet their health care needs. This paper will look at the needs older adults have, and options that are currently available to meet these long-term care needs. This paper will also present new options that have been proposed for long-term health care settings, how these options compare with current interventions, and what outcomes can be expected if these new options are implemented. The Problem As life expectancies increase the older adult population...

...Sabor Inc. CENTRAL ISSUE: Sabor, Inc. is facing a potential shortage of supply of marconil, a new high-tech raw material for air filtration. During the past three weeks Sabor has been approached by three suppliers advising of this potential shortage and encouraging Sabor to sign long-term supplier contracts for the product to hedge against shortage. Sabor is not well-informed on the manufacturing process for marconil, however we are aware that two of the three component raw materials used to produce marconil are by-products from industrial processes and are reasonably stable. The third component raw material is the unknown. Further, we have heard rumors in a few years a much lower-cost substitute material for marconil might be developed. SIGNIFICANT FACTORS: 1. Potential interruption of supply of marconil (used for air filters) will have negative effect on sales revenues. 2. Current suppliers are pressuring Sabor to enter into long-term contracts. 3. Air filters currently represents 9% of corporate sales and is increasing 4. Current supply practice is to purchase needs on quarterly, semiannual or annual contracts. 5. Sabor is unknowledgeable in manufacturing process of marconil. 6. Rumors are that a lower-cost substitute for marconil will be developed in a few years. 7. Sabor air filters provide guaranteed continued sales volume for years due to replacement needs every six months 8. Marketing forecasts for moconil air filtration sales have been off-target (undervalued) ...

... | Report writing is one of the most critical stages of many endeavours in the business world as well as the academic world. All the efforts that one has undertaken are finally translated into a report. It is going to be the face of the project and people are going to judge the project based on the reports given to them. Reports also form a very important tool for decision making. The report could be anything ranging from a one-day project to a Ph.D. thesis which is researched for years. The final report could make or break the entire project. Hence it is very important to write a good report. A "good report" is a very subjective term. What do we define as ‘good"? A good report should be one, which effectively conveys what the writer wants to say or what the outcome of...

...Summary In supporting this model of care through home care services, informatics should be taken into account. As claimed by Parks (2015), home-based technologies like telemedicine and robotic care may certainly be useful tools in providing care for persons at home. Offering home-based technologies may result in better processes of informed consent in health care decision-making, since it allows individuals to make medical decisions or to reflect on options in the familiarity of their homes, where there are unique cues, practices, and configurations of objects and furniture that allow for more complete and authentic decision-making (Parks 2015). New telemedical and assistive technologies now make it possible for individuals to safely remain...

...generations. The impact of child abuse and neglect is often discussed in terms of physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal consequences. In reality, however, it is impossible to separate them completely. Physical consequences, such as damage to a child's growing brain, can have psychological implications such as cognitive delays or emotional difficulties. Psychological problems often manifest as high-risk behaviors. Depression and anxiety, for example, may make a person more likely to smoke, abuse alcohol or illicit drugs, or overeat. High-risk behaviors, in turn, can lead to long-term physical health problems such as sexually transmitted diseases, cancer, and obesity. This factsheet provides an overview of some of the most common physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal consequences of child abuse and neglect, while acknowledging that much crossover among categories exists. Factors Affecting the Consequences of Child Abuse and Neglect Physical Health Consequences Psychological Consequences Behavioral Consequences Societal Consequences Summary References The Federal Government has made a considerable investment in research regarding the causes and long-term consequences of child abuse and neglect. These efforts are ongoing; for more information, visit the websites listed below: LONGSCAN (Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect) is a consortium of longitudinal research studies on the causes and impact of child abuse and neglect, initiated in...

...Con Side of Debate Summary BCOM/275 - Business Communications and Critical Thinking December 4th, 2014. Willetra Brittian Con Side of Debate Summary Medical Cannabis use is a controversial topic for many people, despite its multiple benefits; people against its medical use will find the way to prohibit it in the United States. Individuals against medical cannabis have concerns regarding its risk in the immune system, pulmonary problems, hormones, mental health, and the risk of bacterial, fungus, or viral infection (National Academy of Science, 1999). Even though any patient has not confirmed this hypothesis, Scientifics investigation suggested that cannabis has no significant good or bad side effects. In addition, the use of marijuana has been shown to have a short term effect on the ability of people to think, learn, reason ad perform tasks. It is not clear if cannabis has any long term effect on the mental state or mood (Post Media News, 2011). Marijuana effects are related with drowsiness, dry mouth, and headache; can impair psychomotor skills. HIV patients are the largest group who report using marijuana for medical purposes. Medical marijuana and its active ingredient THC have been shown in some studies to decrease immune function risk of progression to AIDS in HIV-cero positive patients and to increased mortality in AIDS patients (Kebler & Dupont, 2012). Prescribe in high amounts can increase risk of heart attack within one hour of use. Medical marijuana is not...

Managed care for diseases are mostly not focused on, it is for large populations. But typically physicians do try to focus on individuals however once you throw MCO in the mix it becomes similar to a farmer caring for cattle which I hate to say. And I am very much passionate about this subject because of my experience in the very arena. Before I had a stable job with wonderful health insurance, I relied on government paid insurance for a minute and during that time I was diagnosed with Lupus which is a autoimmune disease with no cure.

...Social isolation in community-dwelling seniors Abstract In early August 2007, the Medical Advisory Secretariat began work on the Aging in the Community project, an evidence-based review of the literature surrounding healthy aging in the community. The Health System Strategy Division at the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care subsequently asked the secretariat to provide an evidentiary platform for the ministry's newly released Aging at Home Strategy.After a broad literature review and consultation with experts, the secretariat identified 4 key areas that strongly predict an elderly person's transition from independent community living to a long-term care home. Evidence-based analyses have been prepared for each of these 4 areas: falls and fall-related injuries, urinary incontinence, dementia, and social isolation. For the first area, falls and fall-related injuries, an economic model is described in a separate report.Please visit the Medical Advisory Secretariat Web site, http://www.health.gov.on.ca/english/providers/program/mas/mas_about.html, to review these titles within the Aging in the Community series.AGING IN THE COMMUNITY: Summary of Evidence-Based AnalysesPrevention of Falls and Fall-Related Injuries in Community-Dwelling Seniors: An Evidence-Based AnalysisBehavioural Interventions for Urinary Incontinence in Community-Dwelling Seniors: An Evidence-Based AnalysisCaregiver- and Patient-Directed Interventions for Dementia: An Evidence-Based AnalysisSocial Isolation...
