2. What education should be provided to the adult children and grandchild to help them understand the importance of taking the right medications at the right times?

/in /by

John and Jane Doe are a married couple who live in a rural farming community in the central plains of the United States. They are 88 and 86, respectively. All four of their adult children live more than 50 miles west of the family home. John is still able to drive, although he cannot drive at night. The physician who monitors and treats the couple has an office located in the next town, which is 35 miles southeast of their home.

One adult grandchild lives with them to help maintain their large garden, but he is mentally challenged with Down’s syndrome. He is able to do manual labor with direction but cannot read or drive. He is able to count to 100 and knows his colors and the days of the week.

John has high blood pressure and a history of heart attacks. He is also diabetic and has been on insulin for 20 years. He has smoked a pipe for 60 years and continues to smoke despite having emphysema. He suffers from glaucoma and is using multiple eye drops.

John’s medications include Lisinopril for blood pressure, 25 units of regular insulin and 10 units of long acting insulin each day, and 0.25 mg of Lanoxin each day to improve the pumping action of his heart. He monitors his blood sugar before each meal and at bedtime.

Jane has a history of stroke and is currently being treated for congestive heart failure. She had lung cancer 5 years ago, but had the diseased lung surgically removed. She has never smoked. She is on oxygen to help her breathe. She fatigues easily and is often short of breath. She has had cataracts removed from both eyes, but her vision is poor. She no longer is able to drive.

Jane’s medications include Lanoxin 0.125 mg each day to help the pumping action of her heart and Furosemide, also known as Lasix, a diuretic, for her congestive heart failure. She takes an 81 mg aspirin each morning to keep her blood thinned and reduce the risk of another stroke.

Write a 350 word response to each of the following questions. scholarly sources is recommended. Format any references consistent with APA guidelines.

1. What are two interventions that would help this couple take the correct medications at the correct times and on the correct days?

2. What education should be provided to the adult children and grandchild to help them understand the importance of taking the right medications at the right times?

3. What could the grandchild do to help with medication management?

4. Would you recommend having a home health nurse visit this couple? If not, why not? If so, would one or both patients benefit? What effect do you think such visits would have?

5. What are some potential problems with medication management for this couple?

Review the following example on how to perform the inventory turnover calculation, which shows you how to complete the table.

/in /by

Use the table on the next page to complete the Week Eight assignment. In this assignment, you will review the textbook to find the definitions for each ratio. Use the financial statements for Drs. Smith and Brown, located on the student website, to perform the calculations and complete the form.

Review the following example on how to perform the inventory turnover calculation, which shows you how to complete the table.

 Two different methods can determine the inventory turnover ratio.

  • Cost of goods sold—operating revenue of a hospital—divided by ending inventory
  • Total revenues plus net nonoperating gains divided by ending inventory

This example uses the first method to perform the calculation.

Because a hospital provides a service, we would find the number that reflects services provided. Total operating revenue reflects money that is earned for providing services. Locate the Statement of Net Income on the student website. Find the total operating revenue. This is $180,000. Then, locate the ending inventory number. To find the ending Inventory, use the Balance Sheet on the student website. The ending inventory number is 5000.

Cost of goods sold—operating revenue: 180,000 divided by ending inventory of 5000; 180,000/5000 = 36

  • Place this information in the table. You will do the same with the rest of the ratios. Take the result of your calculations and place in the grid, as in the example.
  • In addition, you are responsible for stating whether the ratios are solvency, leverage, or profitability ratios. Enter your answers in the appropriate column. Then, explain what these ratios tell us about the physician group practice.

 Note. You will use the financial statements of Drs. Smith & Brown to perform the calculations on the next page. To calculate the debt service coverage ratio, you need the maximum annual debt service, which is $22,200.

The following table shows the median financial ratios for acute care hospitals. You can use this table to gauge the financial viability of the physician group practice.

/in /by

On a word document, work out the financial problems using the information from the scenario provided. Two examples have been given to assist with the graded problems. Scenario: Use the following information to solve the two problems that are listed below. 1.Please use a cover page including your name, date, instructor, and course. 2.For the following five problems, start with the price-setting example from the text. The initial assumptions are provided in the table below. Total cost $100,000 Total volume 1,000 Average cost $100 Payer volumes Medicare (payment rate = $95) 400 Medicaid (payment rate = $75) 100 Managed Care # 1 (payment rate = $110) 300 Managed Care # 2 (pay 80% of charges) 100 Uninsured (pay 10% of charges) 100 Total all payers 1,000 Desired net income $5,000 Example 1 Medicare and Medicaid presently account for 50% of the volume. The hospital wishes to reduce its dependence on government payers. Assume that Medicare volume is reduced to 380 patients and Medicaid volume is reduced to 90 patients. The volume from managed-care plan #1 rises to 320 patients from 300. The volume from managed-care plan #2 increases to 110 patients. Thus, total volume is unchanged at 1,000 visits. What is the new price necessary assuming all other factors are unchanged? Answer: $275.00 Total Cost: $100,000 Total Volume: 1,000 Average Cost: $95 Payer Volumes Medicare (payment rate= $95) 380 Medicaid (payment rate= $75) 90 Managed Care #1(payment rate=$110) 320 Managed Care #2 (pays 80% of charges) 110 Uninsured (pay 10% of charges) 100 Total all payers 1,000 Desired Net Income $5,000 Solution: Price = Average cost + (Required net income + loss on fee-scheduled payers/Volume of charge payers)/Average discount experienced on charge payers New Price=$274.99 rounded up = $275.00 Example 2 Start with the original assumptions. The hospital is facing pressure from public-interest groups to control the prices it charges to the uninsured. Assume that the hospital is able through various efficiencies to cut its per-visit cost by 5%. It also negotiates a 7% increase with managed-care plan #1. Assuming all other factors are unchanged, what is the new required price? Answer: $213.22 Solution: Graded Problems 1. Start with the original assumptions. Notice that managed care plan #1 receives a much lower price in return for sending a larger volume of patients. Managed care plan #2 (MC#2) wants to pay a lower cost per case and is willing to send 250 more patients (350 total from MC#2) to the clinic in return for a rate of $110 per case. Assume that the average cost per case drops to $90 due to the economies of scale. All other assumptions are unchanged. What is the new required price? 2. Start with the assumptions in the previous question. But now assume that the additional volume does not enable enough economies-of-scale to reduce the average cost per case as much as originally anticipated. Assume now that the average cost per case drops only to $95. What is the new required price? 3. Compare the last two answers. What does this tell you about the sensitivity of the price to the assumption of the average cost per case? If you were the clinic manager, what would you do before agreeing to the renegotiated contract with managed care plan #2?
