Why should organisations collect, file and maintain accurate financial records? To have a record of how the business is running. To determine how the business is sitting financially and to inspire different processes to assist in growing the business.

More specifically, Caladonia’s financial personnel should determine the payback period of each project, the internal rate of return (IRR), the new present value (NPV), if any ranking conflict exists, and then decide which project should be accepted and why. Additionally, Caladonia’s financial personnel should also gather information about leasing versus buying the assets. Team C will address all the above questions that Caladonia’s financial personnel should ask prior making any decisions. What is each project’s payback period? Project A: 100,000/32,000 = 3.125 years Project B: 100,000/200,000 = .5 years What is each project’s net present value?
“Hospital-acquired infection” (HAI) is a serious and prevalent issue in today’s healthcare field. The Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital finds this issue to be grave and is doing all that they can to eradicate HAI for good. Hospital-acquired infections are infections that come about during the course of the hospitalization and treatment, but were not present when the patient was admitted to the hospital. According to the CDC, hospital-acquired infections show up “48 to 72 hours after admission or 10 days after discharge” (Collins, n.d.). The reason for this window of time for the infection to develop is because hospitals try to have the duration of hospital stays decreased.
Sleep is promoted as one of the determinants of good physical and mental health (Wiebe et al., 2012). When I spoke to the patient to introduce myself, they mentioned that they had been “talked into” being admitted by the Consultant in charge of their care. I wondered how this could be truly person centred as in Principle C but some element of coercion can be in the best interests of the mental health patient and demonstrate good leadership and responsive care as in Principle H (Bennett et al., 2012). The patient also wanted to take some Co-Codamol for their dental pain but as they also had irritable bowel syndrome the only painkillers that they felt comfortable taking were weak ones which were unavailable on the Ward. As in principles A and D, the patient’s wishes were respected and as a priority for the patient these were ordered and a dental appointment was made.
“The second prong of the strategy was directed toward the hospitals and was focused on improving efficiencies in basic health care and outpatient services” (Blanchard & Thacker, 2013, p. 51). The External Environment of MHC and how the Strategy Aligns The external environment of MHC operates in accordance with the governmental regulations and insurance required procedures. The government was pressuring health care institutions to reduce their fees. “The federal and state governments were putting increasing pressure on health care institutions to reduce costs” (Blanchard & Thacker, 2013, p. 51). Many of the patients that were receiving treatment at MHC were doing so as an outpatient; which meant beds were going unused.
Importance of vascular access for cost containment Multiple studies have shown that a fistula is the best on most cost-effective vascular access, followed by a graft, and that having a catheter as hemodialysis access is by far the worst, having not only the highest initial cost, but also the highest re-admission rates for serious events such as catheter-related bacteremias, which in most cases have to be born by the hospital system given that a large number of patients are uninsured or underinsured. 70% of all patients starting hemodialysis at Jackson Memorial Hospital do so with the worst possible access, namely a tunneled venous catheter. Barriers for decreasing the number of catheter-dependent hemodialysis patients Currently, there
Other factors include separation from family, anxiety, sense of isolation and stigma. Glynn et al (1997) investigated the effects on the rate of infection of certain known risk factors such as age, underlying disease, and length of hospital and the use of invasive procedures. He found that it was in the use of invasive devices, which increased the infection rate from one HAI per 100 patient’s episodes to 7.2, and goes on to state “this is important for nurses because they manage invasive devices, such as urinary catheters, intravascular cannulae, epidural cannulae, nasogastric tubes, and peg tubes, which often identify the early signs of infection” (McCullach, 1998). The (NMC 2002) states “nurses have a duty to safeguard the wellbeing of patients and have a due regard for the environment of care” Code of professional conduct. Nurses must be sure that they do not contribute to infection risks and must take care to prevent infection whenever possible.
