...The Innovator in Healthcare Workforce Solutions ANNUAL REPORT I N N O V AT I O N I N H E A L T H C A R E W O R K F O R C E S O L U T I O N S Dear AMN Healthcare Shareholders, 2011 was a year of continued market recovery, solid execution, and evolution. Our clients’ desire for more workforce solutions and innovative service offerings, coupled with AMN’s leading position in this space, has more clearly differentiated our value proposition and put us at the forefront of growth and thought leadership. More than ever, we are leveraging our stronger talent, capabilities and infrastructure as a meaningful differentiator in the market, and have earned the privilege of serving the largest and most diverse group of clients and clinicians nationwide. A REVIEW OF 2011 growth in Travel Nursing, there were a number of other key highlights during 2011: • We expanded our national leadership position in clinical managed services programs by adding over 20 new MSP clients, representing an estimated $80 million in projected annualized gross spend under management. In 2011, our revenues through MSP contracts grew by 38% on a pro forma basis to $185 million, representing a third of our Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing business. Penetration of MSP revenues is primarily in Nurse Staffing at this time, and we believe over the next three years there will be a similar shift in the Allied Staffing and Locum Tenens businesses. AMN is well-positioned to capitalize on this continuing trend...

...2014.” India will emerge as a leading global player in pharmaceutical industry by 2020, securing a place among the top five major global markets, according to Ikon Marketing Consultant (IMC). Also, Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham) has said it expects the Indian pharmaceutical industry to reach US$ 20 billion by 2015, making it one of the world's top 10 pharmaceuticals markets. India has a strong local manufacturing base and domestic players are developing substantial international presence. Healthcare is also one of the largest service sector industries in India, in terms of revenue and employment. Rising health awareness and increasing government expenditure on healthcare sector is driving growth in the sector. Medical tourism and health insurance are also on a rise, with significant growth in healthcare sector and establishment of large number of hospitals, both public and private. The Indian healthcare industry, estimated at US$ 50 billion, is expected to reach over US$ 75 billion by 2012, and US$ 100 billion by 2015.

...Running Head: UNIT THREE WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS Unit Three Written Assignments Erin Schmidt Professor Vega St. Joseph’s College of Maine Prepared on November 30, 2009 1. Of all the people using the health care system today, how important are social problems on the use of the health care system? Social problems including AIDS, drug abuse, violence, and teen pregnancy are very important when considering the economy of the United States Health Care System. Unprotected sexual contact and sharing dirty needles account for the majority of persons infected with AIDS. HIV and AIDS affect human capitol due to the increased mortality of this group. Bonnel (2000) notes that younger individuals are dying of this disease, which translates to a decreased taxable population and reduction in resources for public expenditures. Medications such as antiretrovirals are very expensive. Henderson (2002) points out that drug therapy costs up to $16,000 dollars per infected individual per year. Additional economic impact can be thought of in terms of lost productivity, and lost days from work, which account for a significant impact on the labor supply. With regard to substance abuse, Henderson (2002) states “substance abuse is the leading health problem in the United States today” (p. 310). Costs associated with substance abuse include increased costs of medical care, lost productivity from...

...Needs Assessment for Quality In order for a hospital to survive the competition in today’s healthcare world, a hospital must be aware of opportunities to grow and reduce costs and be supported by Total Quality Management Process. The TQM process helps the hospital to create new products, ensure the standards of quality and client satisfaction and deliver improved services. In addition, the TQM process also helps in improving a company's bottom line profits by increasing operating efficiencies, eliminating waste, and creating working conditions conductive to productivity and company growth. The employees must work in healthy environments, which maximizes their efficiencies and enables them to perform at their best levels. In both the short-term and long-term, the quality improvement process pushes the company from different angles to achieve strategic goals and plans. One of the important processes of patient care is proper medical documentation and updated medical records. Description of chosen process Accurate and complete medical documentation is the responsibility of medical transcriptionists.

...9 -3 1 3 -0 1 6 REV: AUGUST 1, 2014 REGINA E. HERZLINGER NATALIE KINDRED Shanghai Pharmaceuticals With 2011 revenues of $8.67 billion, 1 Shanghai Pharmaceuticals (SPH), a vertically integrated Chinese pharmaceutical conglomerate, produced active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chemical and biological drugs, and traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs); distributed its own and other drug makers’ products to hospitals and other customers; and operated a chain of retail pharmacies. The company—essentially a collection of subsidiaries operating under a unified management structure— was formed through the 2009 merger of several state-owned enterprises (SOEs), part of a broad policy effort in China to streamline state assets, consolidate the fragmented pharmaceutical sector, and enhance the global competitiveness of domestic firms. Emblematic of China’s hybrid economic policies, SPH had both government and private shareholders and competed in a historically statecontrolled industry that was adapting to the growing influence of market forces. SPH’s initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2011 marked an important step in its quest to transform from a traditional SOE into a market-oriented company. While working to expand SPH’s domestic footprint, the company’s leadership was also considering a potential acquisition of a U.S. or European drug producer, an unusual move for a Chinese company. SPH could leverage such an acquisition to learn from Western research...
