Current Ratio (Unaudited) 2009 Current Assets $128,867 ÷ Current Liabilities $23,807= 5.4129877 or 5.413 (5 to 1) 2008 Current Assets $130,026 ÷ Current Liabilities $8,380 = 15.516229 or 15.516 (15 to 1) Current Ratio (Audited) 2009 $128,867 ÷ $23,807= 5.3709833 or 5.371(5 to 1) 2008 $130,026 ÷ $8,380= 15.516229 or 15.516 (15 to 1) Disagree: This ratio is consistently a measure of short-term debt paying ability (Baker & Baker, 2011). However, it must be carefully interpreted (Baker & Baker, 2011). Observationally, the CEO’s report to the board that all financial ratios have improved is inaccurate; in all actuality, the ratios have not. In effect, the numbers simply do not back up the declaration. The unaudited and audited current ratios show that in 2008 the hospital’s assets were greater than those in 2009 were. This ratio also shows the current assets in 2008 were much higher than the current liabilities for the same year, a ratio of 15 to 1. In 2009 the current assets to current liabilities ratio was only 5 to 1. The hospital’s assets were lower in 2009 and yet the liabilities in 2009 were higher. The hospital’s assets were higher in 2008 and the liabilities in 2008 were lower. This shows the hospital was more profitable...

...business system in place Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has a business system that weighs heavily on Human capital to be fully maintained. The flaw in this system is that the communication between departments is not reliable or not there at all. Hospitals rely on open and fast communication with every staff member and departments. The system that Patton-Fuller is currently using has one challenge that cannot be overlooked and that is the human error when inputting the patient information. One missing piece or one incorrect entry can cause major chaos. The error can even be the difference between life and death. Patton-Fuller has a need to integrate the system to allow better communication amongst departments. When upgrading or integrating the system the communication is not only better for the departments, but also for the outside vendors, and most important for the patients. Patton-Fuller Hospital depends on its staff but also depends on the vendors who bring them supplies, and the technicians who install machinery and maintaining of the machinery. The communication between all that is involved needs to be efficient and reliable. The current business system is not able to accommodate this at the moment. Making a suggestion to change the challenges is to integrate the system. Patton-Fuller is not a company that is designed on profit but is designed to the care of patients. CRM (Customer Relations Management) software is a great way for Patton-Fuller to integrate the systems...

...Patton-Fuller Hospital Business Systems Analysis Steven McDowell CMGT 554 September 16, 2012 Matt Mancani - Instructor Business systems enable companies to meet customer demands for speedy and efficient delivery of services. With the introduction of the internet into most traditional business systems the technology has forced a reevaluation of how companies do business and the new opportunities to improve performance and ultimately sales. Functional business systems support business processes across the company. Specifically designed systems aid marketing, sales, accounting, finance human resources, warehousing and other functions in making their roles more efficient. The trick is to unite these systems internally as well as complementing partners who may be using different systems. Incorporating cross-functional enterprise systems help to bring these together. Systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM). Enterprise Collaboration Systems (ECS) enhances communication and collaboration among teams and work groups within and outside of organizations. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has a business system that weighs heavily on Human capital to be fully maintained (Apollo Group, 2012).

...Week Three Individual Paper Patton- Fuller Community Hospital Networking Project CMGT 554/IT Infrastruct In week’s three individual dissection of Patton-Fuller Community Hospital Networking Department, I will discuss three topics that will help with a better understanding of the Hospital’s Networking Department. During the first topic, a complete analysis will be completed on the network systems in use. While covering the second topic, discussion on what standards may be missing from the Hospital’s current network. During last topic, I will identify the Hospital’s wireless technology in currently in use and how it may enhance the hospitals network. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital currently uses a Local Area Network (LAN) standard within the hospital with certain Departments using a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standard. The Hospital’s top view IT network perspective has the Hospital divided into two sections, the Clinical Areas and the Administrative Function Areas. The entire Hospital‘s backbone (BN) network structure is a 1000 BaseT Ethernet cable. A 1000 BaseT Ethernet cable also known as IEEE 802.3ab, is the standard for gigabit Ethernet using copper wiring (Wikipedia, 2010). However, in the second half of the Hospital’s network structure, the Clinical Areas, a 1000 BaseF Ethernet cable is the standard. A 1000 BaseF, also known as 1000Base-F, is a physical layer baseband specification for Ethernet communications over optical fibers (Wikipedia, 2010). ...

...Systems Management Plan CMGT 554 Systems Management Plan Patton-Fuller Community Hospital, located in the City of Kelsey, is a fully functioning hospital servicing the local area since 1975. The current networking architecture of the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital utilizes four information systems: * Accounting and Finance Information System * Human Resources Information System * Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Information System * Knowledge Management (KM) Information System These can be broken down into two major sections. The two interconnections of the network include a 1000 Base T which provides network access to many administrative and operational areas of the facility. Executive management, Human Resources, Operations, Facilities, Finance, as well as the IT data center are all connected directly to this side of the network backbone. The hospital side is connected via 1000 Base F which uses fiber optics to ensure the very highest speed data transmission as well as protection from RF and other possible interference from hospital and lab equipment in use throughout this area (Apollo Group, Inc. 2013). Apollo Group, Inc. 2013 The interconnections are tied together with a Network bridge, which seamlessly combines the two different network technologies to a unified bridge point. Data entering the bridge from the fiber side is easily converted to the standard CAT6 cable, and the same is true for the CAT6 signal being converted to fiber...
