Because the company must produce all financial information to the SEC many businesses find it to be very stressful and time consuming which takes time and money away from a company that is thriving like Kudler Fine Foods. Legal liability is important when conducting an IPO and those offering the shares can be personally sued. The expenses continue after the company goes public with the SEC reporting requirements. Kathy Kudler will not only lose control of some of the decision making for Kudler Fine Foods with an IPO, but she will also lose some of the profits, as a portion will go to the
For years, uninsured patients have flooded hospital emergency departments seeking relief for common earaches, chronic disease management, and other non-urgent health issues. Many of these patients feel they have no other place to go, and some have never gone anywhere else to receive healthcare. However, as these patients become serial ED visitors, the sheer number of them could overwhelm some hospitals. This raises some legitimate concerns that patients with true emergencies may be left languishing in the waiting room of the ED behind someone with a sore throat and cough. Another issue is cost.
Another way managed care organizations control costs is by eliminating expensive doctors from their provider list. Expensive doctors are usually noticed because he/she order many more x-rays, CAT scans and laboratory procedures than normal. By using a computer managed care organization can tell how many of these costly procedures each doctor has ordered and how many patients he/she has treated. Doing away with providers who over-use these facilities saves money two ways, getting them off the list first and by making the remaining providers more aware of the problem. Some managed care organizations operate their own clinics, with staff doctors paid salary instead of fee-for-service.
Solution: Computerizing Physician Order Entry Proposed Improvement Plan: I choose this cause because it happen so often at my facility that pts. Are given the wrong dosage or wrong medications. Also since we have a paper base system the orders are delayed or not entered in a timely matter. The pharmacy serves two hospitals and receive he orders thru fax or by person dropping them off.

Poor stock market returns in recent years have meant that some older doctors most of whom must finance their own pension plans have delayed retirement.And there has been a realignment or rationalization of tasks in health care, with nurses and physician assistants taking on responsibilities that were once left to doctors, freeing them up to do some tasks that used to fall to specialists.That effect, which Lewis called sensible, will only accelerate as less invasive treatments are brought on line. 6 behind WinCo Foods, according to The Shelby Report of the West. And yet statewide, where it operates a relatively low store count of 30, Walmart commands 10.5 percent of the market share.If local grocers are concerned, they're not letting on.

Profits increased only when customers placed large orders and had a large drop in profit when many clients placed small orders. Wrong cost determination is given to individual customers as well as new DOP services. The pricing system for DOP is inadequate for its current operating environment because each customer required different product ordering and distribution ways which cost differently. These costs that were considered in the product pricing strategy were not accurately assigned to each order and needed to be reallocated. In order to set up a better pricing strategy, we need to set up an activity based costing method to figure out cost and profitability for DOP.
1. From your understanding of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, explain how you feel it may negatively affect America’s stock exchanges.

Assessment #1 June 18, 2015 When I think of long-term care facilities, more negatives than positives come to mind. I feel as though too many people are being entered into these facilities without receiving the proper care they deserve. When doing research and communicating with long-term care facility workers, I have concluded that the main problem is staffing. If I was managing my own facility the first problem I would resolve is the patient to health care worker ratio. Then I would focus on making sure consumers and their families feel comfortable in the environment they live in.
Nurses: The Victims of the NHS Overworking nurses is putting patients at risk. Yet it happens in many NHS hospitals on a daily basis. As people begin to live longer the NHS is beginning to feel the pressure of the increasing number of patients treated in hospital but since there is no shortage of nurses this should easily be dealt with, right? Wrong. Many wards, though not all, find themselves understaffed with a higher patient to nurse ratio that there should be in a developed hospital in the western world.
