How does having access to EHRs change the way health care professionals interact with patients at an appointment?

EHRs contain all needed patient information. Consequently, many types of health care workers access them as the patient is cared for in the various departments of a health care facility (e.g., laboratory, radiology, surgery, and pharmacy). In fact, many forms are completed electronically before the patient ever comes in for their appointment or procedure. Since paper charts are no longer needed, extra steps in the workflow are reduced, creating more time for the health care professionals to spend caring for the patient rather than completing paperwork.

describe the history of pandemic, analyze impacts and implications of the pandemic, and critically assess different strategies that may be implemented to reduce the disease spread in the world.

Case Assignment

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, governments around the world implemented lockdown measures that shut down most of the economic activities and business around the globe, so many lost jobs and unemployment rate increased significantly. So many businesses, manufacturers and companies that consider to be major sources of economic growth were hit badly, global stock market crashed and all countries were isolated.

International Monetary Fund has called this widespread economic restrictions “Great Lockdown”, which led the shut down in economic activities and job loss and higher unemployment rate globally.

In this paper, students are to describe the history of pandemic, analyze impacts and implications of the pandemic, and critically assess different strategies that may be implemented to reduce the disease spread in the world. This strategies could include any of the fiscal, monetary or foreign exchange rate policies. The implementation of global environmental policies and international cooperation to prevent any disease widespread could be discussed as well.

In attempting the assignment, students are expected to apply concepts, tools and techniques introduced during the course. The assignment is designed to make students (i) apply economic analysis to a real world situation and (ii) search in current newspapers, periodicals, on-line, in order to find data and articles that illustrate a specific issue. (Individual term paper/case study assessing course Learning Objective 6.)

Calculate the allocation rates for each cost driver using ABC.

Alternative Costing Method

Hampshire has always produced stick umbrellas. However, it is considering expanding its production to include collapsible umbrellas. This consideration has been spurred by Tours Today, a touring company that is interested in providing its customers with collapsible umbrellas imprinted with its logo. The management at Hampshire is currently working out a deal with the touring company to produce 3,000 collapsible umbrellas and believes it can sell those umbrellas for $14.00 each. Here are the costs that can be directly traced to this special order:

Direct Materials: $9,300

Direct Labor Hours: 600

Hourly Rate of Direct labor: $8.00

In the traditional costing approach, overhead is applied at the rate of $24.60 per labor hour. This expansion in production will add additional overhead costs. The total overhead costs (assuming production of the stick and collapsible umbrellas) to include the cost pools and cost drivers are provided in Table 2.

An alternative costing method that might benefit Hampshire is the implementation of activity-based costing (ABC) . Hampshire would like to implement an ABC approach to analyze the production of this special order of collapsible umbrellas. The controller has assembled the following information:

Table 1: Direct Cost Information and Activities

Table 2: Activity Cost Pools and Cost Drivers

Another alternative to traditional costing and ABC is time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC). You will need to determine which of these three methods would be the best approach for the Hampshire Company. The following article may assist you in your analysis: Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing. Additionally, you may want to use the Shapiro Library to conduct further research on the three methods. You will need to defend your position when answering the prompts for the written portion of this section.

Using the information provided above, complete the following in the Hampshire Company Spreadsheet in order to assist you in responding to all components of Section IV:

1. Calculate the allocation rates for each cost driver using ABC.

Use the traditional costing approach to calculate the total cost and the unit cost of the stick and collapsible umbrellas.

Use ABC to compute the total costs and the unit cost for the stick and collapsible umbrellas.

Compute the difference between the product cost per stick and collapsible umbrellas using the unit cost that you computed with the traditional approach and the one that you computed using ABC.

Calculate price variances for material and labor and denote whether they are favorable or unfavorable.

Benchmarking

The management of the Hampshire Company would like to implement benchmarking. Standard costs have been established and are presented below. You will want to complete a variance analysis to include efficiency and price variances for materials (cloth and handle assemblies) and labor based on the following data:

Units Produced = 80,000

Units Sold = 60,000

Direct Materials Purchased and Used

Actual yards of cloth purchased and used: 128,000

Actual price incurred per yard: $1.25

Actual handles purchased and used: 80,808

Actual price per handle/rib/stretcher assembly: $0.99

Direct Manufacturing Labor Used

Actual direct labor hours used: 15,748

Actual price per hour: $7.62

Direct labor costs: $120,000

Standard Rates

Standard labor hours per unit: 0.20

Standard labor price per hour: $7.50

Yards material per unit: 1.50

Standard price per yard: $1.15

Handle/rib/stretcher assembly per unit: 1

Standard price per handle assembly: $1.05

Companies can use variance analysis and benchmarking to measure performance within their own company and against competitors. This can be done by setting standards/budgets and comparing a completed variance analysis to results from prior periods or comparing them to competitors’ results. Using the information provided above, complete the following calculations (steps 1 and 2) in the Hampshire Company Spreadsheet. This will assist you in responding to all components of Section III.
