...A1. Risk Factors Trinity conducted a community health needs assessment in which the following demands were identified: Oncology Services, Orthopedic Services and Cardiovascular Services. These targeted demands are mainly in part due to an aging community population (15% of the population will be over 65 within the next five years), and with that these particular services are in great demand and currently Trinity Hospital offers no formal services of this kind. A Strategic plan is in place to target these services and a recommendation to implement will be provided and we will first identify the risk factors for each of these services in the community and how the needs are being addressed at the current time in the Trinity community. Oncology Services- There are several risk factors affecting the community if cancer treatment isn’t addressed in an appropriate manner. New cancer cases are expected to grow at a 34% rate in the next five years and currently the facilities and equipment to diagnose and treat patients is not able to keep up with the growth of cancer patient volume and physicians and nurses say that the available services are disorganized and poorly put together. This is a visible risk to the community and Trinity Hospital if the surrounding community cannot depend on the hospital to adequately diagnose and treat their illness. Another risk factor is the need for cancer prevention and educational programs focusing on lifestyle changes to emphasize healthy living...

...A. Summary As a part of Trinity Community Hospital’s strategic plan, management intendeds on expanding their Orthopedic service line. The hospital is currently licensed at 150 beds and offers no formal orthopedic services although a few orthopedic surgeons maintain privileges at the hospital. Management has identified that its competition offers strong orthopedic services and are 10 miles or less away from Trinity Community. Most of the orthopedic groups are located close to these hospitals, which makes it convenient to perform procedures at the competition's location. Additionally, several orthopedic practices are planning to expand to offices near Trinity Community. The expansion of services requires Trinity Community Hospital to build, purchase, or lease a 5000 square foot facility for physical therapy. This facility would be in support of the orthopedic services and located adjacent to or on the hospital campus. The expansion of services would have the following five-year targeted outcomes: 1) Quality and Safety •CMS orthopedic indicator set >90th percentile •Pre/post procedure class attendance >75% 2) Service Excellence •Likelihood of recommending >90th percentile •Physician satisfaction >90th percentile 3)Staff Achievement •Orthopedic nursing staff certification >75% •Orthopedic staff retention rate >90% 4)Growth and Profitability •Surgical cases—2100 •Physical therapy visits—6,500 •Margin—$2,171,500 It has been...

...Sentinel Event: Sentinel events are a subset of medical adverse events. Events that require immediate attention are called Sentinel Events. Joint Commission defines a sentinel event as an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof. Serious injury specifically includes loss of limb or function. The phrase “or the risk thereof” includes any process variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a serious adverse outcome. Sentinel Event identified by Joint Commission also include infant abduction or discharge to the wrong family. Summary of the Sentinel event in the Case Study: Sentinel event presented in the case study involves discharge of a minor to the wrong family. Joint Commission requires immediate attention to such matters so that it may be avoided in the future. The summary of the event is that a 13 year old teenager, Tina, was admitted for day surgery. Tina was accompanied by her mother. After dropping Tina for the surgery at the hospital, her mother left to run some errands. Before leaving, she left her contact phone number with the pre-op nurse. After the surgery, Tina was inappropriately released to her father when her mother was delayed in returning to pick-up the daughter from the hospital. The hospital staff had no awareness of the family situation. Upon arrival at the hospital after the errands, mother was informed that Tina’s father had picked up Tina from the hospital because...

...Topic: Stress in today’s low end service jobs Significant Details: • Difficult relations with customers and often managers • Low pay • Time factors such as being understaffed and lack of manager support • Criticism and favoritism Relate: I am currently working a second job as a cashier in a grocery store. This article describes my stress and the reasoning behind it perfectly. Majority of the shifts that I work are understaffed and I end up with long lines and irate customers. I am often yelled at because they are in a rush and had to wait a long time on line. The managers on shift are usually nowhere to be found and most will not open another register to support me or any other cashier. Being 30 years old, customers often look down on me and assume I am dumb because I am working as a cashier. Little do they know, I have a full time job in the Human Resources field and could easily school them in multiple areas of information. Fortunately for them, thanks to “the customer is always right” I bite my tongue and just smile. React: As at least one other student stated, this is one of the main reasons I have gone back to school. Once I have obtained the degree I am pursuing, my current full time job will give me a pay raise and I will be able to quit my second job. As much as I would love to leave right now, I just keep telling myself, even at a little bit over minimum wage, the extra money at the end of the week...

...New Service Line Development Plan Feasibility of developing an orthopedic center The needs assessment done previously shows that orthopedic cases are expected to climb by 46%, with a 30% increase in inpatient joint and spine procedures. As well, it is expected that outpatient joint and spine procedures are expected to increase by 350%. These numbers show that within the defined market area, there is a high demand for the orthopedic center. Further research shows that the other 2 hospitals that we are in direct competition with provide strong orthopedic programs; however, both facilities are private hospitals, thereby increasing the demand for a strong orthopedic program at Trinity. We are finding that because of our prime location within the community and with an expected population growth of 4% per year, our demand for a strong orthopedic program will continue to grow. Through our needs assessment, it was determined that with a well-established orthopedic center, we will be able to provide services for a majority of the orthopedic cases within the community. As well, we know that current resources will not allow us to keep up with this increase demand; therefore, it is feasible that we look to develop the orthopedic center now. The development of the orthopedic center could allow us to incorporate the international trend of spending less money and still providing quality healthcare for all citizens within the community. We could look into ways to minimize spending, while...

...allocated appropriately to ensure a smooth expansion, and most importantly, a decision between building, buying, or leasing must be made. A. Advantages and Disadvantages of Hospital Expansion Project 1. Advantages a. Building space for the new orthopedic service line * Having the new orthopedic service line built will allow the hospital to customize their space; location of imaging machines, therapy, diagnostics, inpatient, and outpatient. * Cost is lower than purchasing an expansion property adjacent to campus: $600k versus $700k. * The hospital will own this property and benefit from any appreciation in value of the property. b. Buying space for the new orthopedic service line * The hospital will not have to wait for construction to be completed. * The hospital will own the property and will gain appreciation (equity) value for the building in the long-run. * Interest can be written off on taxes. * With historic low interest rates, purchasing will allow the hospital to own the property while paying a low interest rate on their loan. c. Leasing space for the new orthopedic service line * Low starting cost. “Leasing generally requires less cash down, and the monthly payments are often smaller” (Newman, 2006.). * “There's usually a tax benefit associated with leasing where you get to deduct the full lease payment immediately”...

...state of Oncology Services. With physicians practices already at capacity there is no room to handle the current and future demand for these services. With an aging population new cancer cases are expected to increase by 34 % in five years. Higher smoking rates also contribute to new cancer diagnosis. Another risk is the equipment to diagnose and treat cancer is not keeping up with patient volume. This could be due to antiquated equipment that takes longer to scan patients therefore delaying results and sometimes requiring additional scanning. Additionally, poorly coordination of services by the staff is a risk factor. When test are not schedule timely it could be detrimental to the patient. A timely diagnosis could be the difference between life and death. Also, at Trinity there is little emphasis on cancer prevention and control is yet another risk. Early diagnosis leads to a more positive outcome. In addition, the sporadic use of educational programs focused on healthy living is a risk factor. Once people learn better they tend to do better. Knowledge is power. There are also some risks associated with current condition of Orthopedic Services. The main risk is the lack of physicians. With orthopedic cases expecting to increase by 46% and outpatient joint and spine procedures increasing by 350%, recruitment is top priority. The timely development of additional space could propose a risk if not available in time to handle the growth of the service line. Another risk...

...A1. Considering all the facts, the most feasible option is to develop oncology services and building space for it within Trinity Community Hospital. The facts are as follows: Currently, Trinity Community Hospital (TCH) does not offer any formal oncology, orthopedic, or cardiology programs. There are no cancer specialists at TCH; however, there are a few cardiologists and orthopedic surgeons that maintain privileges at the hospital. Little work is done at TCH for orthopedic services, as the specialty groups are located to a competing facility. There are also several orthopedic groups interested in opening practices near the hospital. Several cardiology services around the hospital offer more sophisticated services than at TCH, drawing most of the cardiology patients away from the hospital. There is no oncology services mentioned. In terms of competition, there are two hospitals within close proximity. One has strong orthopedic and cardiology programs, but a poorly organized oncology program. The second hospital also has a strong orthopedic program and existing cardiology program. This hospital also has a poorly organized oncology program. Building space for oncology service will allow patients to easily coordinate with services already within the hospital and make use of the newly improved and more developed resources within Trinity Community Hospital. The Community Health Needs Assessment identified that the orthopedic cases are expected to rise by over 46%, inpatient joint...

...vehicles are required to service the destinations, and developing a route and schedule for each one. Because there are many variations of the problem, it can be very dillicult to solve. TransCAD provides a rich set of vehicle routing tools that solve various types of routing problerns,These tools are used to prepare input data, solve the routing problem, and provide tabular and graphical output of the resulting routes and vehicle schedules. The starting points for each route (such as the warehouse in the above example) are known as depots, and the points to be visited are known as stops. A vehicle route starts at a depot, visits one ormore stops, and may or may not return to the depot. The goal of the procedure is to obtain a set of routes that minimizes the total time or discance traveled by the entire fleet of vehicles. The travel times or distances are stored in the vehicle routing matrix.You can use a network to calculate the network driving time or distance, or you can use straight line distances to create your vehicle routing matrix. You must use a network-based vehicle routing matrix if you want to display the routes on a map as a route system layer.Time window- There are time restrictions on when deliveries can be made to some or all of the stores Each stop requires a certain amount of time to service. The service time can have a fixed component and a variable component that is demand dependent (time per unit). In most cases, each stop has a fixed service time that is independent...
