...Transcript of Copy of Case number three. Case 3: Big Bend Medical Center What are the advantages and disadvantages of the new methodology? Advantages Makes cost allocation more fair Recognizes it’s true quality Could give a break because they are using the Same equipment and staff Dialysis Center is already using the same equipment and personnel Is there a better way? In order to offset the large facility costs; the Dialysis center should be able to claim revenues on direct utilization of pharmaceutical supplies; increasing their bottom line and potentially allowing them to remain financially stable through the facility transition. Is it “fair” for the Dialysis Center to suffer in profitability, and hence for the department head to possibly lose his bonus, just because the Outpatient Clinic needs additional space? Incentives Performance improvements Performance measures Disadvantages Costs more per square foot for the dialysis center For the Dialysis Center to bear the true costs, they forfeit the chance of generating true net profit. There will be more incentive to focus on outpatient services than Dialysis patients Other departments will find it less appealing to relocate if they know their profitability or contributions to the Hospital will decline severely when incurring true facility costs. How is pharmacy revenue handled? Pharmacy supplies used for dialysis cost the pharmacy $400,000 They profit $400,000 on drugs used Dialysis center...

...CHAPER ONE INTRODUCTION This section of the action research talk about the background of the study, statement of the problem, purpose of the study, limitation, delimitation, organization of the study, significance of the study and research question. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The objective of the researcher in the preparation of this research project is to help pupils solve problems on addition of fractions with like terms which are often handled badly in the early stages by inexperience teacher. Throughout the researcher’s observation, it has clearly been observed that fraction is one of the mathematics topics children find it difficult to solve. In view of this many school children find it very difficult to understand its concept. Pupils have poor concept of fractions due to the fact that teachers who often handle this topic do so poorly and without the aid of relevant teaching learning materials. The learning of fractions in the widest sense begins before the child goes to school. The child’s first contact with fraction is through everyday use and conservation long before they start schooling. For instance they are told to hare two items with a brother or a sister. With this experience at home the child is informally introduced to fractions before his early years at school. It is upon this knowledge of fraction in the child’s mind that the teacher is to build upon. To achieve this in the preliminary stage, the teachers should place emphasis on understanding the...

...the connection of these to your own cards, and that’s how we will figure out what cards you have. Conclusion: First, by examining the stated facts that Andy has the cards 1 3 7 while Belle has the cards 3 4 7 and Carol has the cards 4 6 8, and the answer of Belle to his question card, knowing that she sees Andy, Carol and yours, she says that she sees all of them, the five odd numbers on the cards that she can see and Carol don’t have any odd number on her cards so the ones that are left is you and Andy. Andy has three odd numbers of each kind on his cards and that would leave a conclusion that you have two odd numbers on your cards. Looking back to the answer of Andy to the question “Do you see two or more players whose card sum to the same value?” and answered “Yes”, knowing that the cards he can see are yours, Belle and Carol, and the sum of Belle’s cards and Carol’s cards are not the same, we can conclude that one of them have the same value or sum of the cards as of you. Then after knowing who have the same sum of cards as of you, you need to subtract the sum of your two odd number cards to the sum of the player that you conclude to be the same as yours. That would result to the last unknown card, by then you would know what cards have. Solution Details: Given: 1. Andy has the cards 1 3 7 2....

...Week 2 Learning Team A Paper Parts 4 & 5 Levels of Measurement for Each Variable in the Study In the survey that Debbie Horner, the Human Resource manager, distributed to the company, there are different levels of data available for analysis. The question seeking information about the respondent’s gender is a nominal-level question. “The nominal level of measurement observations of a qualitative variable can only be classified and counted” (Lind, Marchal, & Wathen, p. 10, 2011). For analytical purposes the order in which the data is displayed makes no difference. The question regarding the division of work for the respondent, and the question regarding if the respondent is a member of management or supervision is also nominal. Also, the question pertaining to length is service is nominal because it only seeks one answer. The ten questions relating to how each respondent feels is interval-level data. The ten questions ask each respondent to rate his or her individual feelings on a scale of one to five. One is considered very negative and five is considered very positive. This is known as a Likert Scale. The Likert Scale is the most popular form of survey data collection because it is easy to assemble, the scale is more reliable, and produce more interval-level data (Cooper & Schindler, 2011). Data Coding After collecting the data, Sally, one the office support staff, began the task of coding the data. While some values were pre-determined other...

...persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students interpret and make meaning of the problem looking for starting points. In Kindergarten, students begin to build the understanding that doing mathematics involves solving problems and discussing how they solved them. Students explain to themselves the meaning of a problem and look for ways to solve it. Younger students may use concrete objects or pictures to help them conceptualize and solve problems. They may check their thinking by asking themselves, ―Does this make sense?‖ or they may try another strategy. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships. Younger students begin to recognize that a number represents a specific quantity. Then, they connect the quantity to written symbols. Quantitative reasoning entails...

...Adapted Lesson Rose Davis SPE 514 SEQUITA LIPSCOMB Introduction I was able to observe in Ms. Brianna Roos, Special Education resource classroom the week of April 1st – April 5th, 2013 at Hamilton Creek Elementary School. On April 5th, I was able to teach my adapted Mathematics lesson to a small group of 3rd graders in the 90-minute math block. The small group contained six Specific Learning Disability students. The opportunity to perform and teach this lesson proved to be challenging, but at the same time very rewarding. Specific Learning Disabilities “Specific Learning Disability means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. This does not include the learning problems that are primarily associated with visual, hearing or motor disabilities, cognitive impairment, emotional disturbance, or that of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantages” (SLD, n.d.). Teachers and parents may look for the following patterns in students of specific learning disabilities: •Short attention span, unable to concentrate on a task...

...clearly describe each one. 1. Numbers involved in both the addition and subtraction of fractions need to have a common denominator in order to be solved, having the smallest common denominator will make the addition and subtraction easier since you would be working with smaller numbers. Example: 2/4 + 3/8, you could multiply the denominators and get 32 or just have 8 as the common denominator either way the final answer have to be the same. 2. Relationship Two: Fractions that are multiplied result in a larger fraction that all too often must be reduced to its smallest form. For example: if you multiply 2/5 by 5/6 it will equal to 10/30, in this case you must simplify it will equal to 1/3. 3. Relationship Three: The division of fractions normally results in an improper fraction this number must then be turned into a mixed number in order to be properly graphed. Example: (2/3)/ (5/8) =16/15, this means there is 1 entire thing plus 1/15 of the thing. 4. Relationship Four: It is easier to divide fractions by charting the solution in order to determine whether or not the solution is correct. Example: (3/5)/ (2/3) = 9/10 5. Relationship Five: Regardless of the size of the denominator the numerator remains small and proportional to the denominator. Example: 15/6 is an improper fraction because the denominator have to be bigger than the numerator. 15/6 is 2½. 6. All fractions must be simplify to the smallest number possible. Example: 3/6= ½, 15/5= 3...
