HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-1
: Hello everyone….welcome back to class. During this lecture, we will focus on inventory.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-2
: Today's healthcare systems face many daily challenges such asdelivering quality care to patients, little or no inventory visibility, diverse patient care processes, and complex payment structures…all spanning geographically in dispersed facilities.
Given the challenging nature of healthcare delivery and materials management within the healthcare organization, managing inventory efficiently and effectively is a critical aspect of handling these challenges.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-3
: Inventory affects both the organization’s balance sheet as well as income statements. When inventory is purchased, it’s classified as a short term asset on the balance sheet, and when consumed, it becomes an expense or cost of patient care. Every organization constantly strives to maintain optimum inventory to be able to meet its requirements and avoid over or under inventory that can impact profitability and cash flow.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-4
: A very important aspect of managing inventory involves projecting the appropriate type and amount of supplies. This process of inventory management can be challenging for three basic reasons: possible lag time or the time it takes to order and receive supplies, uncertainty related to patient demands, and product discontinuations.
HSA525_4_1_1_Sophia-1
: Professor, I understand lag time and discontinuations, but do not fully understand how uncertainty related to patient demands affects inventory management. Can you provide an example?
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-5
: Sure, uncertainty is affected by the fluctuations with volume and the patient type. For example, if the supply is something that is used in life-saving emergencies, the manager will have a high level of stock to ensure that the item is always available. If the item is seldom used, the manager will maintain a very low stock or no stock at all.
HSA525_4_1_1_Tyler-1
: What are the specific effects of inventory on costs?
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-6
: Inventory is considered a non-productive asset. It does not grow or produce income. It also creates a storage cost, insurance cost, and a purchase cost.
HSA525_4_1_1_Lauren-1
: Professor, can you explain cost of goods sold, particularly as it relates to healthcare?
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-7
:
Certainly, the cost of goods sold is the direct costs incurred in the production of the goods sold by a company. The cost of goods sold includes the cost of the materials and direct labor costs. It appears on the income statement and can be deducted from revenue to calculate a company’s gross margin.

Hello everyone….welcome to this week's lecture on
operating budgets
.
Healthcare organizations use budgets in their efforts to plan for future goals and the financing of those goals. The operating budget uses underlying data, such as volume, reimbursements, and labor requirements to forecast revenues, expenses, and profits. The operating budget is generally prepared at various organizational levels and is typically prepared on a monthly, quarterly, and annually basis.
HSA525_7_1_1_Tyler-1:
What is the difference between the
operating budget
and the
capital budget
?
HSA525_7_1_1_ProfQuan-2:
The operating budget deals with
day-to-day expenses
. This can include wages, rent, or utilities. Whereas, the capital budgeting process is concerned with the provision of resources for the
long-term
running of the organization. Most capital purchases are
depreciated
, instead of being expensed in the current year.
HSA525_7_1_1_Lauren-1:
Would the capital budget have an effect on the operational budget?
HSA525_7_1_1_ProfQuan-3:
There is a definite relationship.
An increase in capital expenditures can cause an increase in the operating budget. For instance, assets purchased from the capital budget may require maintenance or monthly payments, which affects the operational budget.
HSA525_7_1_1_Sophia-1:
Is there a particular
baseline percentage
that a company should adhere to when assessing its budget for capital needs and operating expenses?
HSA525_7_1_1_ProfQuan-4:
Many analysts believe that
a company’s total percentage of all expenditures should be thirty three percent for capital assets and sixty seven percent for operating expenses. If the organization's income is being used up by operational expenses, it simply cannot grow.
HSA525_7_1_1_Lauren-2:

: Hello everyone….welcome back! During our previous lecture, we discussed Revenues and Expenses. Today, we will focus our attention on Cost Classifications and Cost Behavior. We will also have an opportunity to apply the concept of Breakeven Analysis.
HSA525_2_1_1_ProfQuan-2
:
Cost classification
enables financial managers to track annual budget expenditures. Because cost classification breaks costs down into groups of similar categories, managers can effectively track -the largest expenditures. Healthcare costs can be classified under various methods so it is helpful for managers to become familiar with each type. Common methods of classifying healthcare costs are by
function, traceability, behavior, and relevance
to decision making. We will take a look at each separately.
HSA525_2_1_1_Sophia-1
:
Professor, when I hear cost classification, I automatically think about direct and indirect costs….how does direct and indirect costs relate to the methods that you have discussed?
HSA525_2_1_1_ProfQuan-3
:
Yes, the concepts of direct and indirect costs are very important and are considered
cost behavior
.
Direct costs
are costs that can be directly attributable to the production of a product or service. Whereas,
indirect costs
are not attributable to a specific product or service. So, let’s discuss each of the classification methods.

Introduction.
The Inventory management is one of the crucial aspects for any manufacturing firm and well known
topic in both corporate and academic world. Inventory management involves a set of decisions that aim
at matching existing demand with the supply of products and materials over space and time in order to
achieve profitable operations. An inventory is considered as one of the major assets of a business and it
represents an investment that is tied up until the item is sold or used in the production of an item. It costs
money to store, track and insure inventory. Inventories that are not well managed can create significant
financial problems for a business, whether the problem results in an inventory glut or an inventory
shortage. Proper management of inventories would help to utilize capital more effectively.
Why Is Inventory Control Important?
If your business requires maintaining an inventory, you might sometimes feel like you're walking a
tightrope. Not having enough inventory means you run the risk of losing sales, while having too much
inventory is costly in more ways than one. That's why having an efficient inventory control system is so
important.
Avoiding Stock-outs.
One of the worst things you can do in business is to turn away customers -- people who are ready to give
you their money -- because you've run out of the item they want. "Stock outs" not only cost you money
from missed sales, they can also make you lose customers for good, as people resolve to take their
business somewhere that can satisfy their needs. An efficient inventory control system tracks how much
product you have in stock and forecasts how long your supplies will last based on sales activity. This
allows you to place orders far enough ahead of time to prevent stock-outs.
Overstock Hazards
When inventory isn't managed well, you can also wind up with overstock -- too much of certain items.
Overstock comes with its own set of problems. The longer an item sits unsold in inventory, the greater
the chance it will never sell at all, meaning you'll have to write it off, or at least discount it deeply.
Products go out of style or become obsolete. Perishable items spoil. Items that linger in storage get
damaged or stolen. And excessive inventory has to be stored, counted and handled, which can add
ongoing costs.

Working Capital Issues
Inventory is expensive to acquire. When you pay, say, $15 for an item from a supplier, you do so with
the expectation that you will soon sell the item for a higher price, allowing you to recoup the cost plus
some profit. As long as the item sits on the shelf, though, its value is locked up in in ...

did it change attitudes
did it change protocols and policies
did behavior change result
did it add/eliminate laws
GRADED ELEMENT :
Analyze how this contribution is still relevant today
HELP:
Was this contribution only applicable at the time it occurred, or is it still applied today? Why or why not? Explain your response
GRADED ELEMENT :
Examine how this contribution could support or be expanded for future community and public health benefits
HELP:
Using solid critical thinking, look at the historical value of the contribution and examine how it could be used for the future (is it applicable to another health issue, can it lead to more policy change, could it promote advocacy work or public health laws, etc.)
You have a choice of which format you wish to present your findings:

Slide 1
Scene 1
Professor Charles enters classroom and introduces the topics for today’s lesson and begins the lecture.
Prof Charles
: Hello everyone….welcome back to class. Today, we are going to discuss criminal law, antitrust, and health care….
In an effort to provide you a review of criminal law as it relates to the healthcare industry, I will begin with the procedural aspects of criminal law as well as a an overview of cases that have occurred in health care facilities.
A
crime
is any social harm defined and made punishable by law. The objectives of criminal law are to maintain public order and safety. Crimes are generally classified as misdemeanors or felonies. A misdemeanor is an offense punishable by less than one year in jail and/or a fine ( for example, petty larceny). A felony is a much more serious crime (for example, rape and murder) and is generally punishable by imprisonment.
Let’s first discuss criminal procedure which regulates the process for addressing violations of criminal law. Who can describe the process of arrest and arraignment?
Casey:
Prosecution usually begins with a police arrest or a warrant for an arrest. The arraignment is a formal reading of the
accusatory instrument,
a document which accuses the defendant of an offense and includes the setting of bail.
Donald
: I would agree, but I would add that after the charges are read the defendant pleads
guilty
or
not guilty
. Then the court sets bail, if any, and the judge sets a date for the defendant to return to court.
Prof. Charles
: Absolutely.
What happens after the arraignment?
Casey
: I would say there is a
conference
and then the
criminal trial.
Prof. Charles
: Excellent Casey. What occurs in the
conference
?
Donald:
The
conference
occurs if the defendant does not plead guilty. Plea bargaining commences with the goal of an agreed-upon disposition. If no disposition can be reached, the case is adjourned, motions are made, and further plea bargaining takes place. After several adjournments, a case may be assigned to a trial court.
Prof. Charles
: Great job, Donald! Now let’s take a look at the criminal trial.
Slide 2
Check Your Understanding
Which of the following best represents the defense attorney?
A. Defends the rights of the prosecutor.
B. Protects the rights of the defendant.
C. Represents the interests of the law
Correct Feedback:
B. In protecting the rights of the defendant, the defense attorney is often not very popular and usually sits in the proverbial “hot seat.”
Incorrect Feedback:
A. Defends the rights of the prosecutor.
C. Represents the interest of the law.

important.
Avoiding Stock-outs.
One of the worst things you can do in business is to turn away customers -- people who are ready to give
you their money -- because you've run out of the item they want. "Stock outs" not only cost you money
from missed sales, they can also make you lose customers for good, as people resolve to take their
business somewhere that can satisfy their needs. An efficient inventory control system tracks how much
product you have in stock and forecasts how long your supplies will last based on sales activity. This
allows you to place orders far enough ahead of time to prevent stock-outs.
Overstock Hazards
When inventory isn't managed well, you can also wind up with overstock -- too much of certain items.
Overstock comes with its own set of problems. The longer an item sits unsold in inventory, the greater
the chance it will never sell at all, meaning you'll have to write it off, or at least discount it deeply.
Products go out of style or become obsolete. Perishable items spoil. Items that linger in storage get
damaged or stolen. And excessive inventory has to be stored, counted and handled, which can add
ongoing costs.

Working Capital Issues
Inventory is expensive to acquire. When you pay, say, $15 for an item from a supplier, you do so with
the expectation that you will soon sell the item for a higher price, allowing you to recoup the cost plus
some profit. As long as the item sits on the shelf, though, its value is locked up in in ...

Significant Contributions to Public Health - Part II
This is a continuation of your final project, which you started in Week 3. This last piece involves an analysis of how your individual’s contribution from the past continues to contribute to today’s public health system and how it might guide future work within the industry. As you recall, in week 3, you researched an individual and their contribution to community and public health. To begin, you need to review the feedback given to you from Week 3. Then, make the necessary revisions to Part I of this project. Then, you will be adding the second half to your project.

Criminal Aspects of Health Care and Antitrust

Slide 1
Scene 1
Professor Charles enters classroom and introduces the topics for today’s lesson and begins the lecture.
Prof Charles
: Hello everyone….welcome back to class. Today, we are going to discuss criminal law, antitrust, and health care….
In an effort to provide you a review of criminal law as it relates to the healthcare industry, I will begin with the procedural aspects of criminal law as well as a an overview of cases that have occurred in health care facilities.
A
crime
is any social harm defined and made punishable by law. The objectives of criminal law are to maintain public order and safety. Crimes are generally classified as misdemeanors or felonies. A misdemeanor is an offense punishable by less than one year in jail and/or a fine ( for example, petty larceny). A felony is a much more serious crime (for example, rape and murder) and is generally punishable by imprisonment.
Let’s first discuss criminal procedure which regulates the process for addressing violations of criminal law. Who can describe the process of arrest and arraignment?
Casey:
Prosecution usually begins with a police arrest or a warrant for an arrest. The arraignment is a formal reading of the
accusatory instrument,
a document which accuses the defendant of an offense and includes the setting of bail.
Donald
: I would agree, but I would add that after the charges are read the defendant pleads
guilty
or
not guilty
. Then the court sets bail, if any, and the judge sets a date for the defendant to return to court.
Prof. Charles
: Absolutely.
What happens after the arraignment?
Casey
: I would say there is a
conference
and then the
criminal trial.
Prof. Charles
: Excellent Casey. What occurs in the
conference
?
Donald:
The
conference
occurs if the defendant does not plead guilty. Plea bargaining commences with the goal of an agreed-upon disposition. If no disposition can be reached, the case is adjourned, motions are made, and further plea bargaining takes place. After several adjournments, a case may be assigned to a trial court.
Prof. Charles
: Great job, Donald! Now let’s take a look at the criminal trial.

Professor Charles enters classroom and introduces the topics for today’s lesson and begins the lecture.
Prof Charles
: Hello everyone….welcome back to class. Today, we are going to discuss civil procedures, practices, and corporate structure.
Trials, especially jury trials, are vital to fostering the respect of the public in the civil justice system. Trials do not represent the failure of the system. This class is important in understanding the law as it applies to the courtroom. Although many of the procedures leading up to and followed during a trial will be discussed, civil procedures and trial practice are governed by each state’s statutory requirements. Cases on a federal level are governed by federal statutory requirements.
The pleadings of a case are the written statements of fact and law filed with a court by the parties to a lawsuit. The
complaint
is the first pleading in a lawsuit that is filed by the plaintiff. A
demurrer
is a pleading filed by a defendant challenging the legal sufficiency of a complaint. An
answer
to a complaint is a pleading, which admits or denies the specific allegations set forth in the complaint and constitutes a general appearance by a defendant. A
bill of particulars
is a request for a written itemization of the claims, which a defendant can demand from the plaintiff to determine what the details of a claim are. A defendant may also file a cross-compliant and bring other parties into a law suit by the process.
Let’s first discuss the summons and complaint. Who can tell us what a summons and a complaint are?
Casey:
A summon is a service of process on a defendant and a return to the court of that process by the person who served it. In other words, it is when an issue has been called in the courts to come back together. And, Wow, a complaint
is any formal legal document that is issued by the plantiff to hopefully supports a claim against someone or a group.
Donald
: A first pleading filed with the court in a negligence action is the complaint. The complaint identifies the parties to a suit, states a cause of action, and includes a demand for damages. The complaint is filed by the plaintiff and is the first statement of a case by the plaintiff against the defendant.
Prof. Charles
: Absolutely… What specific formalities must be observed in the service of a summons for proper jurisdiction?
Casey
: The formalities dictate the manner in which a summons is to be delivered, the period within which service must be effected, and the geographical limitations which service must be made. Where the service cannot be possible, the action may have to be brought into a different court.
Prof. Charles
: What may the.

Prof Charles
: Hello everyone! My name is Professor Charles Daye and welcome to Health Policy, Law, and Ethics.
I am excited about the opportunity to facilitate this course and look forward to engaging each of you over the next several weeks.
I have been a hospital CEO for many years and have obtained a law degree, a PhD in Health Administration, and a D.B.A. in Organization Development.
Currently, I am a CEO of a medium size consultancy firm involving corporate responsibility and institutional liability for all types of health providers.
I would like to get to know a little about you and your goals for the course.
Let’s begin with you, Casey.
Casey:
Hi everyone. My name is Casey Williams.
I’m currently a Patient Advocate in a large hospital. I am interested in healthcare administration because I work closely with patients and senior hospital management and I find the work very stimulating.
After earning this degree, I would like to become a healthcare administrator. This course in legal aspects of healthcare administration will go a long way in helping me to understand that part of the job.
Donald:
It’s nice to meet you Casey and Professor Charles

Practice 7.1. Using a Revision Guide
Use the revision guide as you evaluate the following passage from Hetal Shah’s rough draft of her essay on plagiarism. Mark, annotate, and evaluate the passage. Focus on strengths, concerns, and suggestions.
Academic dishonesty can come into play when students feel that many pressures are being placed on them. Pressures from parents, for example, can lead students to look for the easy way out. Plagiarism also occurs because it is socially acceptable and students do not consider it cheating. Meeting various expectations can cause students to turn to cheating. Pressures can vary from maintaining a high GPA in high school to get into a good college to keeping up grades while in college to hold on to scholarships. American high school students feel pressure from parents as well as teachers to attend good colleges or universities (Durkin). Students in all grade levels competing for grades are causing a great increase in academic dishonesty (Fanning 8). Many high-achieving students are turning to ways of cheating to get their A’s in their demanding classes (9). Rigorous course loads and high expectations have led many students, often those that are near the top of their classes, to cheat.

This assignment requires you to examine your cultural values about d.docxshandicollingwood
This assignment requires you to examine your cultural values about developmental norms for young adults.
Many young adults continue their identity search, especially for vocational and relational identities. Cultural groups typically have clearly defined expectations for when certain social events "should" occur. Parent-child relationships and expectations often shift as you transition into your own emerging roles. Some of these expectations may be clearly stated, while other expectations are unspoken.
Reflect on your own beliefs about when a young adult should achieve the following transitions into adulthood
:
Moving into his or her own housing, getting separated from parents
Securing a stable career or obtaining formal education
Achieving financial independence
Getting involved in a serious romantic relationship; cohabitation
Finding his or her own life partner
Getting married
Becoming a parent
Undergoing other transitions that you consider important
Tasks:
In a minimum of 200 words
How has your own parent-child relationship changed as you transitioned into new adult roles (e.g., college student, career-entry worker, married partner, and parent)?
What cultural values shaped your beliefs? How would you know whether you have stepped outside of a cultural norm when it comes to the social clock?
Does a specific developmental theory support your personal views of “healthy development” for a young adult?
Support your responses and analysis by using at least two resources from professional literature
. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (websites ending in .edu or .gov).

To persuade your audience on a proposition of policy; thus, convincing your audience that a specific course of action should be taken.
2.
To use effective methods of persuasion: building credibility, using evidence, using logical reasoning, and appealing to emotions.
3.
To use effective delivery techniques, descriptive language techniques, audience analysis, and a variety of supporting material.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Your formal persuasive speech is designed to help you develop persuasive speech making skills. Your goal is to persuade your audience for or against a Question of Policy. Questions of Policy inevitably involve Questions of Fact and Questions of Value BUT Questions of Policy
always
go beyond both to decide whether something should or should not be done.
In other words, Questions of Policy attempt to persuade an audience that a specific course of action should or should not be taken.
You may seek either passive agreement or immediate action from the audience, both of which should include all three (3) basic issues of policy speeches – need, plan, and practicality.
A variety of topics would be appropriate. For example, you might try to persuade us that same-sex marriage should be legalized, to agree that a security fence should be constructed along the US/Mexico border, to create a living will, to vote for a total ban on human cloning, that school districts should not allow soft-drink companies to stock their products in school vending machines, or that we should put an end to the violence on television.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Depreciation Concepts

Narration
Slide 1
Scene 1
Professor Quan greets students and begins lecture.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-1
: Hello everyone….welcome back to class. During this lecture,
we will focus on inventory.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-2
: Today's healthcare systems face many daily challenges such
asdelivering quality care to patients, little or no inventory
visibility, diverse patient care processes, and complex payment
structures…all spanning geographically in dispersed facilities.
Given the challenging nature of healthcare delivery and
materials management within the healthcare organization,
managing inventory efficiently and effectively is a critical
aspect of handling these challenges.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-3
: Inventory affects both the organization’s balance sheet as well
as income statements. When inventory is purchased, it’s
classified as a short term asset on the balance sheet, and when
consumed, it becomes an expense or cost of patient care. Every
organization constantly strives to maintain optimum inventory
to be able to meet its requirements and avoid over or under
inventory that can impact profitability and cash flow.
2. HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-4
: A very important aspect of managing inventory involves
projecting the appropriate type and amount of supplies. This
process of inventory management can be challenging for three
basic reasons: possible lag time or the time it takes to order and
receive supplies, uncertainty related to patient demands, and
product discontinuations.
HSA525_4_1_1_Sophia-1
: Professor, I understand lag time and discontinuations, but do
not fully understand how uncertainty related to patient demands
affects inventory management. Can you provide an example?
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-5
: Sure, uncertainty is affected by the fluctuations with volume
and the patient type. For example, if the supply is something
that is used in life-saving emergencies, the manager will have a
high level of stock to ensure that the item is always available. If
the item is seldom used, the manager will maintain a very low
stock or no stock at all.
HSA525_4_1_1_Tyler-1
: What are the specific effects of inventory on costs?
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-6
: Inventory is considered a non-productive asset. It does not
grow or produce income. It also creates a storage cost,
insurance cost, and a purchase cost.
HSA525_4_1_1_Lauren-1
: Professor, can you explain cost of goods sold, particularly as
it relates to healthcare?
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-7
3. :
Certainly, the cost of goods sold is the direct costs incurred in
the production of the goods sold by a company. The cost of
goods sold includes the cost of the materials and direct labor
costs. It appears on the income statement and can be deducted
from revenue to calculate a company’s gross margin.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-8
:
To make it applicable to healthcare, I will use the example of a
patient who is being cared for in a hospital. The patient accrues
costs by virtue of occupying a hospital bed and receiving
services.
HSA525_4_1_1_ProfQuan-9
:
Therefore, the patient is considered part of the work in process
inventory. Upon becoming discharge, the patient is considered a
finished good. Consequently, the accumulated costs become part
of cost of goods sold.
Slide 2
Scene 2
Professor Quan lectures about FIFO, LIFO and Weighted
Average.
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-1
: Costs related to inventory are found in two places on the
healthcare organization’s financial statements. On the balance
sheet, inventory is listed as a current asset. When the inventory
is consumed, it appears as an expense (or cost of patient care)
on the organization’s income statement.
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-2
: One of the most important inventory functions of the manager
is inventory valuation, or the value at which the inventory is
carried on the balance sheet. Common methods used in valuing
4. inventory include FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average Cost.
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-3
: FIFO refers to first in, first out…FIFO assumes that as -
inventory is acquired, the older inventory is consumed first so
that inventory is valued at the more recent cost.
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-4
: LIFO or last in, last out, on the other hand makes the basic
assumption that the last item put into inventory is the first item
taken out of inventory so that inventory is valued at an early
costs.
HSA525_4_1_2_Sophia-1
:
Professor, what would be the logic of LIFO…it stands to reason
that the first items acquired should be the first items used?
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-5
: LIFO uses cost related to inventory of the earliest purchases.
The total cost of inventory is determined by multiplying the unit
cost of the oldest items in inventory by the number of units in
inventory.
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-6
: There are tax advantages to the LIFO method.
It defers paying taxes on cost escalation due to inflation. In a
period of rising prices or inflation, LIFO will result in a larger
cost of sales (patient care) deduction which reduces taxable
income and taxes paid. Paying less current tax means more cash
to run and grow the business.
HSA525_4_1_2_Lauren-1
:
5. So, what are the advantages of using FIFO?
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-7
: FIFO, contrary to LIFO, produces an inventory valuation on
the most current cost. The total cost of inventory is determined
by multiplying the unit cost of the newest items in inventory by
the number of units in inventory.
HSA525_4_1_2_ProfQuan-8
: Under the FIFO method, the value of inventory reflects the
actual price paid.
The other method for discussion includes weighted average.
Weighted average determines the average cost of items placed
in inventory then multiplies the average cost by the number of
units in inventory.
Slide 3
Scene 3
Professor Quan begins to explain each method by going over an
example.
(Prof. Quan approaches the whiteboard and begins to explain
and example using a chart of information).
HSA525_4_1_3_ProfQuan-1
:
Let’s take a closer look at each inventory costing method.
Let’s assume Horizon’s central billing office purchased
magnetic storage disks on several dates throughout the year.
You can follow along using the table on the screen.
HSA525_4_1_3_ProfQuan-2
6. :
The beginning balance on January 1
st
was 10 units at a price of $15 totaling $150.
Then on March 1
st
, 30 units were purchased at $14 each totaling $420.
On May 1
st
40 more units were purchased for $14 each totaling $560.
Then on July 1
st
an additional 10 units were purchased for $13 each totaling
$130.
On September 1
st
, Horizon purchased 20 units for $12 each totaling $240.
Finally on November 1
st
10 more units were purchased for $12 each totaling $120
dollars.
HSA525_4_1_3_ProfQuan-3
:
The ending inventory on December 31
st
totaled 120 with a total purchase price of $1,620.
HSA525_4_1_3_ProfQuan-4
7. :
Determining the ending cost of inventory helps the manager to
meet anticipated patient demand for supplies, communicate
demand information to the supply chain, and enables the
manager to hedge against price increases. The prudent manager
also uses this information to take advantage of order cycles and
take proactive steps to avoid stock-outs.
HSA525_4_1_3_ProfQuan-5
:
Now let’s calculate using FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average to
find the ending cost of inventory.
Slide 4
Scene 4
Professor Quan goes over the example and uses FIFO, LIFO,
and weighted average
HSA525_4_1_4_ProfQuan-1
:
Using the FIFO method, let’s compute ending inventory costs….
HSA525_4_1_4_ProfQuan-2
: Calculate FIFO inventory costs by assuming that every item
sold came out of the first-purchased inventory. First, we
consider the ending inventory of the most recent 35 disks,
which has purchase dates of November 1st, September 1st, and
July 1st.
We are considering only 35 disks, which was established as
ending inventory on December 31.
8. HSA525_4_1_4_ProfQuan-3
: If you refer to the table on the screen you will see that on
November 1
st
10 units were purchased for $120 ($12 each); September 1
st
20 units were purchased for $240 ($12 each); and July 1
st
costs we apply 5 of the 10 units for $65 ($13 each).
The ending inventory of 35 units has an ending inventory cost
of $425 or $12.14 per disk.
HSA525_4_1_4_Tyler-1
:
Professor, I am not sure why we only considered 5 units from
July, please explain.
HSA525_4_1_4_ProfQuan-4
: Remember, that we have an ending inventory of 35 units. In
order to apply FIFO, we have to take into account that FIFO
produces inventory for the newest items. Therefore, the items
purchased most recently in November, September, and July
would be appropriate in our calculations. The ending inventory
was 35 units…Horizon purchased 10 units in November, 20
units in September, and 5 of the units purchased in July would
equal the 35 units in ending inventory.
HSA525_4_1_4_Tyler-2
:
Ok, thanks.
That makes sense now.
9. HSA525_4_1_4_ProfQuan-5
: Now let’s compute using LIFO.
With this method you would simply consider the reverse, or the
last items put into inventory.
HSA525_4_1_4_ProfQuan-6
: So this would be January 1
st
costs of $150 for the 10 units at $15 each and March 1
st
costs of $350 for 25 units at $14 each.
For March we only applied 25 of the 30 units since the ending
inventory is 35.
So with LIFO the ending inventory costs equal $500 or $14.29
per disk.
HSA525_4_1_4_ProfQuan-7
: To compute the weighted average, simply divide total costs by
total units, then multiply by ending inventory.
So, $1620 divided by 120 x 35 equals
$472.50

Scene 5
Professor Quan explains the concept of depreciation.
HSA525_4_1_5_ProfQuan-1
10. : We will now shift our attention to the concept of depreciation,
which is the allowance for wear and tear on equipment and
machinery.
HSA525_4_1_5_ProfQuan-2
: Depreciation expense spreads the cost of a fixed asset over the
useful life of the asset. Depreciation not only affects the asset's
value as stated on the balance sheet, it also affects the amount
of reported earnings.
Depreciation indicates how much of an asset's value has been
“used up”.
HSA525_4_1_5_ProfQuan-3
: Accumulated Depreciation is considered a contra asset
account.
You may recall from our previous lecture that a contra asset is a
negative asset account that is designed to offset the balance in
the asset account with which it is paired.
Let’s consider three common methods of depreciating assets for
financial statement purposes.
HSA525_4_1_5_ProfQuan-4
:
Straight Line depreciation
is perhaps the simplest and most commonly used depreciation
method. Under the straight-line approach the annual
depreciation is calculated by dividing the depreciable base by
the service life.
HSA525_4_1_5_ProfQuan-5
:
Accelerated depreciation
is another common method in which larger amounts of
11. depreciation are taken in the beginning years of the life of an
asset and smaller amounts in later years.
HSA525_4_1_5_Tyler-1
:
So what is the advantage of taking larger amounts of
depreciation in the beginning?
HSA525_4_1_5_ProfQuan-6
:
The objective of this method, the accelerated depreciation
method is to defer taxes legally, thereby allowing funds to be
retained by a business to finance growth.
HSA525_4_1_5_ProfQuan-7
: A third method of computing depreciation is the
Units of Production method
.
In units of production method of depreciation, depreciation is
charged according to the actual usage of the asset. The higher
depreciation is charged when there is higher activity and less is
charged when there is low level of activity. Zero depreciation is
charged when the asset is idle for the whole period.

HSA525 Week 4, Lecture 2 Script: Staffing: The Manager’s
Responsibility
Slide #
Scene/Interaction
Narration
Slide 1
Scene 1:
Introduction to lecture.
Prof. Quan begins to lecture in front of class
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-1:
Hello! Today our lecture will include a discussion on staffing.
13. HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-2:
One of the most important resources of any organization is its
people. In healthcare organizations workers are staffed to fill
shifts that operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-3:
Managers have the responsibility of ensuring that shifts are
staffed adequately in order to provide optimal service levels.
Managers in healthcare organizations need to create an effective
staffing balance without overtaxing personnel resources.
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-4:
Overstaffing results in increased labor costs and lost
productivity; while understaffing may have a significant impact
on the quality of patient care.
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-5:
Healthcare managers often use one of two common approaches
to computing fulltime equivalent headcount.
These approaches are annualizing and scheduled-positioning.
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-6:
Annualizing is used because employees are paid for more hours
than they are on duty, for instance, vacation days. So,
annualizing allows the full cost of the position to be computed
through a “burden” approach.
HSA525_4_2_1_Lauren-1:
Professor, can you explain what you mean by burdened?
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-7:
Certainly….a burdened approach allows for the net hours
14. desired to be inflated, in order to arrive at the gross number of
paid hours necessary to obtain the desired number of net hours
on duty from the employee. In other words, annualized hours
are based on a system of scheduling that annualizes labor cost,
rather than direct hours worked on a weekly basis.
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-8:
The employer calculates work hours annually taking into
account many different factors that may affect employee
schedules.
HSA525_4_2_1_Sophia-1:
So, what are the benefits of annualizing for the healthcare
organization?
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-9:
It allows the employer to determine the full cost of a staff
member per year. This is important because the total cost of
staff is usually the bulk of the employer’s budget.
HSA525_4_2_1_Tyler-1:
When is schedule positioning most often used?
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-10:
The schedule position method is often used when forecasting
new programs and services.
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-11:
Another key difference between annualizing and scheduled
position is that non-productive time is inherently included in
the formula in annualizing. Non-productive time refers to the
paid-for time when the employee is not on duty. This would
include vacation and sick time.
HSA525_4_2_1_ProfQuan-12:
15. The non-productive time differs from productive time as the
productive time represents the employee’s net hours on duty.
Managers use this information to determine their staffing needs.
Slide 2
Scene 2:
Prof Quan continues to lecture on staffing.
Goes over an example on the screen.
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-1:
Managers must assess the number of employees required to fill
a position. Determining the number of Full Time Equivalents or
FTE helps to assess the current work activities with related time
and cost measures. As a result, a manager can better understand
the root causes of workload fluctuations, productivity gaps, and
workflow challenges.
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-2:
The basic calculation for determining the number of FTEs
needed is workload hours divided by the working hours of 1
FTE within the organization.
HSA525_4_2_2_Tyler-1:
So, professor….what specifically constitutes an FTE when used
in annualizing?
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-3:
An FTE for the purpose of annualizing is the equivalent of one
full-time employee, or two part time employees.
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-4:
To demonstrate the calculations in the process of annualizing,
let’s consider the steps involved.
16. HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-5:
There are two basic steps in staffing calculations to annualize
positions. The first step involves the computing of the net paid
days worked. So, we would determine the number of paid
annual days. Then, we would subtract paid days not worked, for
instance, sick days. This would yield the net paid days worked.
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-6:
The second step would require that we convert the net paid days
to a factor.
HSA525_4_2_2_Lauren-1:
So, how do we convert net paid days to a factor?
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-7:
To convert net paid days to a factor, we would simply consider
the total days in the business year divided by net paid days
worked. For instance, if the total days in the business year
equals 365 and the employee works five days per year, the
number of paid days per year would equal 261, as you would
subtract the two days off (2 times 52 weeks in a year) per week
from the number of days within the year.
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-8:
In addition, we must subtract any days paid but not actually
worked, such as vacation, sick days, or holidays to determine
the net paid days worked.
HSA525_4_2_2_ProfQuan-9:
Finally, we would divide the total number of days in the
business year by the net paid days worked to arrive at the
factor.
17. Slide 3
Check Your Understanding
Which of the following statements are characteristics of
annualizing?
A. Annualizing allows for the full cost of the position to be
computed through a burden approach.
B. Annualizing creates a challenge in terms of determining the
actual costs of a staff member
C. Annualized hours are based on a weekly schedule
A.
Correct!
This statement is a characteristic of annualizing.
B.
Incorrect….Annualizing actually makes it easier to determine
actual costs of staff members
C.
Incorrect….Annualizing is based on the annual (or in some
cases, monthly) schedule as opposed to weekly schedule
Slide 4
Scene 3
Prof Quan in front of projector to explain example.
HSA525_4_2_3_ProfQuan-1:
The other method of FTEs is through calculations by position.
Calculations by position is used in controlling, planning,
18. planning and decision making which are all key factors of
management.
HSA525_4_2_3_ProfQuan-2:
Let’s go over an example of this approach ….One full time
employee works 40 hours per week. One eight-hour shift per
day times seven days per week equals 56 hours on duty.
Therefore, to cover seven days per week, or 56 hours requires
1.4 times a 40-hour employee, which is the equivalent of 56
hours divided by 40 hours which equals 1.4 FTEs.
HSA525_4_2_3_Tyler-1:
Would an example of staffing by position be projected staffing
for a new clinic?
HSA525_4_2_3_ProfQuan-3:
Absolutely….that is precisely why this method is often used in
terms of planning
.
HSA525_4_2_3_Sophia-1:
Does annualizing save the employer in terms of costs?
HSA525_4_2_3_ProfQuan-4:
In some ways, it is considered a cost saving method. With
annualized hours, schedules can be shifted to have full-time
employees work longer shifts during peak times, thus saving
costs. But, it is important to note that an annualized work
schedule requires meticulous planning …if not carried out
correctly, it could prove to be cost prohibitive.
HSA525_4_2_3_Lauren-1:
It is clear that the manager has a huge responsibility in terms of
staffing in order to ensure efficiency. Staffing is a little more
19. complicated than I initially thought.
The information provided today has really helped to put the
issue of staffing into better perspective for me…
HSA525_4_2_3_Tyler-2:
I would agree…we don’t often consider all of the factors that go
into determining the staffing needs of the organization.

This concludes our lecture on Staffing….are there any
questions?
HSA525_4_2_4_Sophia-1:
No, I think that I have a better grasp on the issue of staffing and
how it impacts the role of the manager.
HSA525_4_2_4_Tyler-1:
No questions…
