For This Project Assignment, You Will Research Business And Statistical Methods Used For Benchmarking,

For this project assignment, you will research business and statistical methods used for benchmarking, ranking and scoring data sets. Using these methods and the retail information data sets, create a scoring model for retail customers. The results of the scoring model will be displayed using Tableau. Below you will find a resource to help better understand the use of Tableau for this particular assignment. You will use Tableau to create a visual scoring model to classify Gimball’s customers based upon criteria that you set. You will need to create a data model for how you want to score customers. The data model should include variables that align with the business objectives. First, you must choose a scoring system. This can be a numerical ranking such as 1 – 10 score, a Good/Better/Best, or similar scoring system that you determine. Identify variables that should be included in your scoring model and assign each a weight. Explain your scoring system and determine the logic which will lead to a single output score for each customer. Create the model in Tableau using the calculation functions then load the model with sample data that proves how the scoring model works. In a lab report, provide a brief summary explaining your scoring model and why you chose it. Discuss how your scoring model can be used by Gimball’s to target specific customers. Be sure to include the weighting of variables along with their values. To compliment your written summary, export screenshots from Tableau which uses a sample dataset to showcase values for each customer. Gimball’s will need to understand that they can assign a value to every individual customer on their target list and separate customers into specific categories. Your lab report should be 6-8 pages in length. When complete upload your submission for grading.

Part One Of The SWOT Analysis The Director-General Needs A SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities,

Part One of the SWOT Analysis The Director-General needs a SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats) analysis of your best plan to communicate quickly and effectively in all of the affected areas. A SWOT analysis, you are aware, defines the project objective and determines the advantages and disadvantages of the plan, as well as elements that might affect the plan either positively or negatively. She has asked that you send the first part of the SWOT analysis, the Proposed Communication Methodology, over right away. For this first part of the SWOT, the Director-General wants you to address several items in a written document: Explain a markup language communication method, and how the WHO should use this type of lingua franca to respond to this crisis. (Could a lingua franca markup language be used in place of human languages?). Thoroughly explain this for the Director-General and others who may not understand this communication method. Describe how this markup language communication method will be implemented (include examples and detailed explanations). Also, explain how it will improve training and prevention communication better than the current plethora of lingua francas, especially in situations where there are no bridge languages (clearly demonstrate your knowledge of lingua franca and bridge languages here). Remember to address how the WHO will communicate across multiple cultures and languages both quickly and efficiently in order to best respond to this infectious disease crisis. It is important to fully explain this to convince the Director-General and all involved). Use the bullet point questions above to create a 2-3-page communication plan on a Word document. The plan should use a clear introduction paragraph and well-developed body paragraphs to clearly propose the proper method of communicating using markup language in this scenario situation. Be sure to thoroughly analyze each of these bullet points by providing a few paragraphs of substantiated analysis for each bullet point concept.

Please Help Chapter 12 Scenario 1: In An Effort To Reduce Cost Across The

Please help Chapter 12 scenario 1: In an effort to reduce cost across the board, a new technology firm seeks to hire recent graduates who have little experience. The firm would be paying them wages above its competition even if it offered them one-half the salaries of its present staff members who are over age 50. Should the company terminate those older employees and hire these new, less-expensive workers? what if one or more of the older employees were willing to accept a 50 percent pay cut? is the company permitted to make the 50 percent pay cut a condition of remaining on the job for the older employees?

1. In This Class We Studied And Discussed The Concepts, Vision, Issues, Characteristics And

1. In this class we studied and discussed the concepts, vision, issues, characteristics and inner workings of today’s modern hospital. We had intense understanding and discussions as to what is new to the field of hospital administration. The modern Hospital and/or Healthcare System is a complex entity with many many moving and integral parts. Many individuals contribute to the ultimate product that a hospital provides to its patients. With all of this in mind and hopefully much more that you have learned in your readings, critical analysis reports, debates, case reports and your own experiences discuss the following: What are the major challenges that face today’s hospital from every different angle and perspective that you can think of. Once you have defined these challenges and hopefully mention all those factors that are both integral and necessary to manage a successful hospital operation define in your own words your management style and philosophy in operating a Hospital/Healthcare System in 2010 and well beyond over the next ten years.

Institutional Realities (an Organization Apparently Off The Track) This Case Covers Several Issues In

Institutional Realities (an organization apparently off the track) This case covers several issues in governance, organization, and clinical management. Names in this case have been changed to preserve anonymity. The case is probably best used when students have completed the entire book, but it could also be used after students read the first five chapters. Religious Health Care operates in a catchment area of 225,000, called Middleville. Summary statistics on Religious and its competitors, from the AHA Guide, are shown in Table 1 below. All of the organizations in the area are not-for-profit; Although Samaritan Hospital and Protestant Hospital have religious origins, they now view themselves as secular, not-for-profit organizations. Table 1: Middleville Health Care Systems (From AHA Guide) * Includes 128 beds in long-term care. The governing board of Religious hired a consulting company to evaluate its strategic performance. As part of the consultant’s evaluation, several leaders of Religious’s units were asked their perspective of the organization’s performance. You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction would be recommended as part of your list. Because you know there were about two dozen other interviews, you decide you should rank your issues in importance, to make sure the most critical get discussed. You ask the following questions. Following your questions are the responses of one unit manager. 1. The governing board and the senior management team usually have an agenda that needs more or less continuous attention for several months or years. These are areas for improvement in the core functions or activities of the organization. Please write down what you think the important elements of that agenda are. The respondent answered: This particular hospital is currently undergoing the process of reengineering, which is having significant impacts throughout the organization. Obviously, the CEO of the hospital is seen as the individual of paramount importance who is spearheading this effort. Although a consulting firm has been hired to orchestrate the reengineering efforts, the CEO and other senior management Name Beds Admissions Census OP Visits Births Expenses (000) Personnel Religious 575* 13,000 350 221,000 2300 $125,000 2000 Samaritan 380 17,000 260 175,000 1200 $130,000 1875 Protestant 350 10,000 180 40,000 900 $80,000 1200 © 2006 John R. Griffith and Kenneth R. White 12 Instructor’s Manual Cases and Longer Exercises The Well-Managed Healthcare Organization, 6ed individuals have taken the brunt of the employees’ verbal assaults related to reengineering. I am not in a senior management position at this hospital. Therefore, I am not privy to what transpires at this particular level within the organization. However, I do know that not all of the board members are in support of the reengineering efforts. In fact, some of them have been rather vocal in public areas of the hospital about their disagreement with the board’s decision to approve the reengineering process. In particular, these board members have been vocal about their non-support of the CEO, related to his desire for reengineering. In my opinion, the chairperson of the board needs to gather together these few disgruntled board members and ensure that they understand the need to stand united (at least in public) over their desire to support the CEO’s reengineering efforts. Whatever disagreements the board members may have needs to remain behind closed doors. It is imperative that the board present a united front of their support of the reengineering process and their support of the CEO as its advocate. I also would encourage the board to direct the CEO to be more visible to the hospital staff as the reengineering process unfolds. One of the concerns has been that the majority of the CEO’s communication with the hospital staff about reengineering has been in writing. If the CEO were more visible to the employees, a positive response would occur. The board should direct the CEO to MBWA (Management by Walking Around). This action would also garner additional board support of the CEO, if it were to be implemented. 2. Many organizations now use balanced scorecard or multiple dimensions of performance measurement, such as productivity, profit, market trends, quality, patient satisfaction, and worker satisfaction. Tell us how Religious is using multiple dimensions of performance measurement. The respondent answered: This particular organization has been quite reticent to share particulars of how the organization is doing. Therefore, I have not been privy to copies of board reports that detail information of this nature. However, I can write of two dimensions about which there are definitely opportunities for improvement: (1) patient and family satisfactions and (2) provider satisfaction. First, patient and family satisfaction have been decreasing at the hospital for the previous eighteen months. The hospital uses a firm to tabulate the responses from discharged patient questionnaires. Prior to the start-up of the reengineering process, satisfaction scores on the returned surveys averaged in the 91st percentile. Since the reengineering process began, satisfaction has dropped to below the 85th percentile. Measures that could be taken to assess this significant decrease include soliciting input from both management and staff about what can be done to reverse this trend. Also, we need to look at responses on the surveys and identify © 2006 John R. Griffith and Kenneth R. White 13 Instructor’s Manual Cases and Longer Exercises The Well-Managed Healthcare Organization, 6ed any patterns or trends. Then we need to have specific plans to address these patterns or trends. I believe the board needs to direct the CEO to engage in additional one-on-one meetings with the employees. I think hospital employees truly want to do their best. They are just frightened of what reengineering could mean to their specific positions. In addition, perhaps the establishment of a mission services program would benefit the hospital at this time. Although there is a mission statement, there is no real formal process to ensure that the mission statement is carried out throughout the organization. Core values could be developed and inculcated throughout the hospital family. That would go a long way toward improving patient satisfaction, I believe. Second, provider satisfaction is an area in which improvement opportunities exist. Specifically, morale within the organization seems to be at an all-time low. No numbers are available, although human resources has postponed the triennial employee satisfaction survey for more than 18 months. I believe that some type of formal mechanism needs to be established in which the employees can express their concerns to a supervisor without fear of reprisal. One issue has been that employees sometimes fear airing out their concerns because they believe their positions may be in jeopardy. This practice is supposed to exist in reality. It is imperative that the board becomes more proactive in ensuring that employees are comfortable in sharing their feelings about issues. The environment of fear needs to be replaced with an environment of freedom. The CEO should be charged with the directive to proceed in this direction. 3. How does your organization deal with service line or patient outcomes control? Do you have protocols for common inpatient diseases? For common outpatient conditions? How are these developed and kept up-to-date? For what kinds of patients are Medicare and managed care contracts profitable? What should be your next steps to get better at managing specific patient groups? The respondent answered: Few systems are currently in place at this hospital that address patient outcomes control. However, that will soon change, as the first Care Center under reengineering is brought on board within the next month or so. The next steps in getting better at final product management are therefore underway. Specifically, a case management system is being developed at the hospital. This department will consist of 15 individuals who will be responsible for ensuring that patients are channeled through the continuum of care at appropriate times. A component of the case management function will be the incorporation of critical paths into the care regime. It is my understanding that protocols for common inpatient diseases and common outpatient conditions do exist at this hospital. Because my area of responsibility is the skilled nursing facility, I am not in a position to be heavily © 2006 John R. Griffith and Kenneth R. White 14 Instructor’s Manual Cases and Longer Exercises The Well-Managed Healthcare Organization, 6ed involved with these protocols. However, they have been developed and kept up- to-date by the utilization review department. This hospital is making a profit on Medicare patients because there is a large skilled nursing facility (SNF) physically located on the fifth floor of the building. Initially, the SNF had 26 beds. However, to meet the volume of Medicare business, 12 additional beds were recently added. The physicians are more willing to discharge their Medicare patients from the acute care sections earlier if they know the patients will go to the hospital-based SNF. Once the three-day acute care stay is met, many of the Medicare patients are discharged to the subacute level. A long-term acute care hospital has recently begun operations at the hospital. This hospital-within-a-hospital concept will assist in ensuring that ventilator patients and patients needing months of wound therapy related to Stage IV wounds can leave the acute care setting and go to the long-term acute setting timely.
