Week 7 Procurement (Purchasing, Receiving And Storing) 3 2552Pavit Tansakul
The document discusses procurement in the food and beverage industry. It covers the key steps in procurement: purchasing, receiving, storage, and inventory control. It focuses on purchasing, describing the purchaser's role in being familiar with the market, their own operation, and customers. The marketing channel is discussed, outlining how goods move from producers to processors to distributors and finally to customers. Purchasing specifications and supplier selection are also covered.
The document outlines the purchase cycle process used by companies. It involves 7 main steps: 1) receiving and analyzing purchase requisitions, 2) selecting suppliers and requesting quotations, 3) determining the right price, 4) issuing purchase orders, 5) following up on deliveries, 6) receiving and accepting goods, and 7) approving invoices for payment. The goal of the purchasing process is to obtain the required goods and services at the lowest possible cost, best service, and on time, while maintaining supplier relationships. The case study then provides an example purchase process used by an Indian welded wire mesh manufacturer.
Inventory management is a critical component of practice profitability. It involves balancing the costs of carrying inventory with ensuring needed items are available. The three main costs associated with inventory are unit cost, ordering cost, and holding cost. Together these can account for 25-40% of the total unit cost. An effective inventory system balances having enough supply while minimizing expenses and freeing up capital. It requires planning, organization, direction, evaluation and adaptation over time.

FIFO matches the costs of the oldest inventory units with the sales revenue, while LIFO matches the costs of the newest inventory units with sales. The document provides examples to illustrate how inventory values would be reported under each method when a company produces and sells different quantities of inventory over time.
Purchasing involves obtaining the right products at the right time, price, and source. Foods are classified as perishable, staple, or contract items. Guidelines for wise buying include purchasing by weight, count, brand, and season. Receiving ensures deliveries match specifications for quantity, quality, and price using methods like blind or invoice receiving. Proper storage after receiving prevents loss, with perishables refrigerated and staples arranged orderly. Storage protects food from contamination.
The document discusses evaluation of purchase management performance. It outlines various quantitative and qualitative metrics that can be used, including price advantage, inventory levels, and relations with suppliers.

Choosing Between Inpatient and Outpatient Treatment for Drug.pdfMichaelCarlucci4
This document discusses the differences between inpatient and outpatient treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. Inpatient treatment involves residing at a treatment facility for a predetermined period of time to receive 24/7 care and support in a structured environment. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to receive treatment while continuing daily activities at home. The key is choosing the option that best fits an individual's addiction severity, support system, and personal obligations in order to maximize their chances of achieving lasting recovery.
Milieu therapy, also known as therapeutic community, involves structuring a client's environment and interactions to promote behavioral change and improve psychological health. It operates under several assumptions, including that every interaction is an opportunity for therapy, clients own their behavior and environment, and peer pressure can be a useful tool when managed constructively. An interdisciplinary treatment team oversees each client's individualized treatment plan and works to fulfill responsibilities in areas like psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work, therapy, and spiritual care. The goal is to address all of a client's needs through a supportive community environment.
Respite care refers to short-term or temporary care provided to individuals who require assistance or supervision, typically due to a disability, chronic illness, or age-related condition. It is designed to provide relief or respite to the primary caregivers who may be family members or friends, allowing them to take a break from their caregiving responsibilities.
SERVICES FOR THE ELDERLY (GRIATRICS).pptxHajiDrammeh
This document discusses services available for the elderly in India. It outlines objectives to provide health services through community-based primary care, identify health issues, and build family caregiver capacity. Services described include health promotion, treatment, rehabilitation, day care, and home care linked to regional geriatric centers. Challenges include lack of trained staff and dedicated infrastructure. The roles of nurses are also summarized.
The National Mental Health Program (NMHP) was launched in India in 1982 to address the high burden of mental illness and lack of infrastructure to support mental healthcare. The NMHP aimed to prevent mental illness, promote recovery, reduce stigma, and ensure socioeconomic inclusion of those with mental illness. It emphasized integrating mental healthcare into primary healthcare using a community-based approach. The NMHP established treatment programs at village, primary health center, and district hospital levels using a multidisciplinary team including a psychiatrist, nurse, social worker and therapist. The program focused more on treatment than prevention and did not adequately address the role of family support. It outlined short-term over long-term goals and lacked a clear administrative structure.

This report recommends approving a 4.9% inflationary increase in homecare rates for 2016-2017. The increase is needed to help providers deal with rising costs, especially the introduction of the National Living Wage. A consultation with providers using a standardized cost assessment framework had low participation. Therefore, the recommended increase was estimated based on the projected impact of the Living Wage on provider budgets and a 1% increase for other costs. The increase aims to stabilize the homecare market while balancing budget pressures. Not providing an increase could destabilize the market and reduce availability of homecare services.
- The document summarizes an equalities screening record form for a new Joint Commissioning Strategy for Assistive Technology from 2012-2017.
- The strategy aims to maximize the opportunities of assistive technology to support independence and choice for individuals who receive social care and health support services.

While it may particularly benefit groups like older people and those with disabilities, the assessment found no evidence of adverse differential impacts on equality groups.
Bracknell Forest Council and NHS Berkshire are developing an Assistive Technology Strategy to ensure assistive technology can support people to live independently and support carers. They are conducting a consultation through surveys of service users, carers, and health and social care practitioners to understand their experiences with assistive technology and identify areas for improvement. The survey for practitioners asks about their familiarity with and use of assistive technology, when they refer clients for it, training needs, and how the service could be improved.
Bracknell Forest Council and NHS Berkshire are conducting an assistive technology survey to develop an assistive technology plan that supports people in living independently. The survey asks individuals about their current use of and experiences with assistive technologies like smoke detectors, falls detectors, and lifeline systems. It also seeks to understand how individuals learned about assistive technology options and whether they felt involved in the selection process. The goal is to identify both benefits and limitations of assistive technologies so the plan can best meet community needs.
The joint commissioning strategy aims to promote the use of assistive technology to support personalised outcomes over 2012-2017. Based on consultation with practitioners, carers, and those receiving support, the strategy identified that while assistive technology can help independence and quality of life, understanding and access to assistive technology needs improving. The strategy prioritizes enhancing quality of life through greater awareness and choice of assistive technology options, and delaying the need for care through identifying and sharing information on new assistive technology developments. Progress will be monitored based on improved knowledge of assistive technology and trends in referrals, surveys, and practitioners being informed of new developments.
This document introduces a toolkit to help local authorities assess the sustainability of their social care markets and identify providers that would be difficult to replace if they failed. The toolkit involves segmenting the market, evaluating indicators like employment and fees, assessing provider composition, determining the sustainability of sub-markets, and closely monitoring any "hard to replace" providers that are identified as facing risks. The local authority intends to use this approach to understand their local market better and engage with providers to help ensure overall market sustainability.

2 CARE SPECIFICATION
2.1 Philosophy and Core Principles
5 Principles that apply for mainstream care will also apply to dementia care
and these are:
• Person centred care: Care is to be provided in a manner that meets
the identified needs of each individual resident. This is best achieved
through an individual care plan, which recognises individual ethnic,
religious, cultural and social needs and the characteristics of residents.
• Choice and independence: Care should be provided in a manner that
promotes and encourages residents’ independence and the
enhancement of their individual rights. This includes choice about
activities of daily living and access to activities that present reasonable
risk.
• Dignity and respect: Care is to be provided in a manner that offers
privacy, respect and dignity to each individual resident both in life and
in death.
• Consultation: No decisions about the care provided to a resident
should be made without their full participation and agreement, and
where appropriate, the full participation and agreement of their
family/carer/supporters. Where there is no family member/
supporter/carer, consideration should be given to an appropriate
person from outside the home advocating on their behalf.
framework/demrescarespec/j1jul09/updated 1
3. • Participation: Residents should be encouraged to participate in
activities of daily living and social activities within the home and the
wider community in accordance with their interests and abilities.
2.2 Characteristics of good quality dementia care
In order to meet these principles of care, dementia care homes need to have
in place a suitable set of conditions. These conditions will be supported by a
local specific dementia strategy, which will form the basis of the homes
management and care of people in their care. The strategy will be led by a
senior member of staff and will, as key to its delivery, ensure that:
• Staff have an appropriate level of understanding and training about
dementia, effects of dementia and strategies and techniques to
communicate with and provide care for people with dementia, this
includes end of life care planning through advanced
directives/advanced care planning.
• Staff are supported in their care task by good leadership, staff
management, staff training and development and person centred care
planning.
• The home reflects the type of environment that is appropriate for
people who have dementia, has purposeful activities that relate to
individual preferences rather than general entertainment, and establish
strong links with and involvement in local communities.
• Partnership working with voluntary and specialist agencies has been
established to assist the home to cater for changing emotional,
cognitive and physical health needs of its residents.
• There is close working with family and/or informal carers to both
understand the unique personality and life experience of the resident
and what their care needs are and also to allow the family to continue
to participate, if they wish, in the care of their loved one.
• There is a nominated dementia Champion/leader who will take
responsibility for improving quality and ensuring that people have
access to a range of social activities that may involve their families.
• There is a regular review at least every six months of the persons
physical and mental health to ensure the care provided is appropriate.
• There is a policy in place agreed with the commissioner on the use of
anti-psychotic drugs, their review and the removal of those drugs when
appropriate. Staffing and design should promote the avoidance of the
use of anti psychotic drugs.

5.1 All care shall be person-centred and based around appropriate
assessments and a tailored care plan. Care planning should reflect not
only previous needs but those that might arise with increasing age and
progression of the dementia.
5.2 Informal Carers or advocates will be involved in the assessment and
planning process and should have access to all information available to
enable them to make an informed choice about the placement.
5.3 All prospective customers at the point of referral will have a specialist
Mental Health assessment. Where possible, this will be at the person’s
own home and will cover:
• Medication needs
• Mental Capacity Act assessment where appropriate
• Key professionals
• Frequency of reviews
• Cost of package
• Potential care needs
• Family involvement
• End of life Advanced directive where appropriate
5.4The Carer and Customer will be offered the opportunity to prepare the
room allocated to the Customer in a way that will help the Customer to
settle in and feel more at home using familiar and personal items
belonging to the Customer.
5.5The provider may not transfer customers from a private room to a shared
room without first consulting the social work team, Customer, their family
and advocate or broker and getting agreement in written form.
framework/demrescarespec/j1jul09/updated 12
14. 5.6The Customer will have a detailed assessment of their needs within 1
(one) week of taking up service. This will be agreed with Customer and
carer or appointed advocate and will include:
• Goals of the service user based on what they can do not what
they can’t.
• Named key worker and personal contact (family carer or
advocate)
• The Care Plan to include:
Self care capabilities
Nutritional screening
Meaningful opportunities for engagement and activity
Need for aids and adaptations and Assistive Technology
• Timetable for review and who involved
• Where the resident will live
• Management of risk
• End of Life care planning
• Family involvement in care
5.7Implementation of care and services provided should be in accordance
with needs outlined in the care plan. Where the Customer lacks capacity,
a mental capacity advocate should be involved.
5.8Customers should be able to have visitors at any reasonable time and if
informal cares wish to be involved in personal care, this should be
supported and the care plan widened.
5.9Care staff will constantly monitor well and ill-being including pain, distress
and other symptoms to ensure that Customers receive the care they need
5.10 Reviews of care plans should take place at agreed intervals and
services adapted to take account of changing needs and risks. Carers
should be involved where appropriate. These reviews will include
medication reviews to ensure medication is appropriate. At no point will
heavy medication be used without the permission of the family, or if no
family, the relevant advocate.
5.11 All services provided should be in line with accepted best practice and
the provider will keep up to date with development in this area through
active research and attendance of training and events as appropriate.
framework/demrescarespec/j1jul09/updated 13
15. 6. POSITIVE INTERVENTIONS IN CARE PROVISION
6.1 Challenging Behaviour
6.1.1 The Manager and Care Staff must be aware of the contributory
psychological and emotional factors that may initiate or perpetuate
challenging behaviour and as such will:
• provide the Customer and their family/carer/supporter with
appropriate support, advice and encouragement in order to
moderate or rectify any inappropriate or challenging behaviour
• encourage and assist the Customer to communicate and express
their choices and personal preferences and to take advantage of
the opportunities which are available to them
• encourage and support the Customer to remain or be more active
in their own care and therefore less dependant on carers
• seek help with behaviour that is likely to cause risk to others or put
the placement at risk. Referrals should be made to CWPT older
age psychology services for support and intervention
6.1.2 A risk assessment should be completed, and a written Support Plan
will be formulated to manage inappropriate or challenging behaviour,
liaising with other professionals as appropriate. The effectiveness of
this should be measured not only around the reduction of challenging
behaviour but also should include how people are engaged and how
and who they spend their time with.
6.2 Nutrition
6.2.1 The home will encourage a positive mealtime experience for its
Customers. Meals and drinks will be provided in accordance with
preferences identified in the care plan.
6.2.2 Every effort will be made to ensure that a nutritious and balanced diet
is provided through at least 2 (two) sit down hot meals a day.
6.2.3 Appropriate action will be taken to address any risks that may be
present or highlighted in the nutritional screening e.g. ready availability
of finger food and access to drinks throughout the day if appropriate to
the nutritional needs of the Customer, and active monitoring of weight
and hydration.
6.2.4 Positive encouragement to eat and taking action to address any factors
that result in failure to meet nutritional needs such as physical inability
to eat, depression, food presentation or because food is inadequate or
unappetising, isolation/need for company.
framework/demrescarespec/j1jul09/updated 14
16. 7. PRE-ADMISSION AND DISCHARGE
7.1 Referral
7.1.1 Customers will either access the service directly through an agreed
referral process or through a worker charged by Warwickshire County
Council or other partner agency who organise support on a Customer’s
behalf (this may be a broker, Personal Advisor or similar).
7.1.2 Admission to the permanent dementia placement unit will depend on
Customers meeting the criteria for admission to residential care for
older people with dementia. Minimum standards relating to timescales
from referral to actual service delivery will be agreed with the authority
7.1.3 Short stay referrals will be made when the individual requires a short
stay in residential care as a result of an emergency, or to provide
respite to a family Carer or to enable assessment (and this could not
be undertaken in their own home without serious risk to themselves or
others).
7.1.4 For admission to the short stay dementia unit, Customers will have a
diagnosis of dementia and needs that cannot be met in an ordinary
residential care home with trained staff. The individual must not
require the availability of qualified nursing staff on a 24-hour basis.
7.2 Trial period and Discharge
7.2.1The purpose of the Trial Period shall be to ensure that the placement is
satisfactory to all parties in meeting the needs of the Customer.
Following completion of the Trial Period a decision will be made in
conjunction with the Customer either to extend the Trial Period or to
effect a permanent placement. During the Trial Period the Individual
Placement Agreement (IPA) can be terminated on the giving of 1 (one)
week’s notice by any party. The Council may in agreement with the
Provider extend the Trial Period on behalf of the Customer after
consultation with the Customer and their relative/advocate. For short
term, short stay or respite care the Trial Period shall not be applicable.
7.2.2Any referral of a Customer, which is not accepted by the Provider shall
be explained by the Provider to the Council.
7.2.3Any discharge will be part of a planned process (unless it is an
emergency discharge to hospital) and measures will be put in place to
ensure that the needs of the Customer are recognised and planned into
the process.
