Three months ago, Community Hospital opened a 24-hour urgent-care center 10 miles away in a rapidly growing community. Kent Jones, the health information services manager, took part in the planning that included the use of a combined record and one patient identification number. The decision was made to allow electronic sharing of patient records between the facilities; however, at present it is necessary to fax some portions of the record upon request. In the past month, Kent has received four complaints from the urgent care center that records were not faxed in a timely manner. There are 26 employees in health information services. Three full-time employees care for record activity during the day, with one employee devoted to record activity during the evening shift, when a team leader and four other employees are usually in the department.

- PROBLEM STATEMENT Based on studies that have been conducted, entry bookings for flight tickets sometimes deviate from what is booked by customers who want to board the plane to their desired destination. the existing system is not able to identify bookings made by customers properly. therefore, the existing system needs to be upgraded. Using a new flight ticket management system will be able to solve the problem. Secondly, the charge calculations performed still use the old method of calculation and take time to complete one calculation after another. With the new management system, the calculation and displayed total charges can be done automatically. Sometimes it is quite difficult for us to calculate the discounts given to customers who book flight tickets with large bookings. this will result in incorrectly giving the actual price to the customer and may result in losses. Moreover, with the new system, the amount of profit earned can be easily calculated. Lastly, daily…arrow_forwardOnly the blanks in A, B and D please.arrow_forwardOrpheum Productions in Nevada is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives for lighting enhancements to one of its recording studios.

It has manufactured children’s toys before but nothing as advanced as its latest robot so historical data is at a minimum. The company believes that they can secure the materials for manufacture for between $65-85 per unit and labor costs would be between $15-25 per unit. Management’s expectations are that materials will cost $70 per unit and labor $25 per unit and that 800 units will be sold monthly. Should FAY decide to manufacture the robots in-house, maintenance of the factory machine would cost $15,000 per month. However, management has found that another alternative is for the company to outsource the labor for a flat rate of $35 per unit. The company expects to sell between 750-1000 units per month initially at a price of $149. Provide recommendations for FAE technologies that will maximize profit.

The bookstore has a program to sell personal computers to incoming freshmen and other students at a significant discount. The bookstore just covers computer costs, with a very small profit margin remaining. Orders come in throughout the summer, many only a few weeks before school starts in the fall, and the computer suppliers has a lead time of at least 6 weeks for delivery. Thus, the bookstore must forecast computer demand to build up inventory to meet student demand in the fall. The bookstore has a warehouse near campus where it must store all computers because it has no storage space at its retail locations. The number of computers ordered has effect to the number of temporary warehouses needed and workers who must be hired for handling and PC installations assistance. To get the forecast of computer sales the manager gets the computer purchase program for 14 years.
