Week 4 Assignment – Impacts of a Health Issue on a Care Provider

Overview

In your Health Care Issue Impacts activity, you investigated where health care issues can have an impact on a provider type. In this assignment, you will take a deeper dive into these areas of impact to consider actions that providers must take to effectively address the issue.

Scenario

Imagine that you work for a provider who is currently ill-prepared to or unable to serve the population associated with your identified issue. A senior leader in your organization has asked you to prepare a brief for management that highlights the 4 biggest areas of impact to consider as they weigh the options of expanded operations to serve this population.

Areas you might consider, but are not limited to, are:

Policies.
Staffing.
Safety.
Staff Training.
Facilities.
Compliance or Licensing.
Community Stakeholders.
Others…

Instructions

Consider the scenario above and create a 3-4-page brief for the provider’s leadership in which you do the following:

Justify the priority of your four chosen areas of significant impact. Why are they the most critical?
Describe specific items within each impact area that exemplify the changes or actions that may need to be made. Include support from a credible source. For example: If the issue was epidemic or contagion preparedness, areas of concern for facilities might be sanitation, disinfection, quarantine, decontamination, personal protection equipment (PPE), et cetera.
Analyze one of the 4 areas of consideration and provide the following:
- Description of the primary stake holders (both internal and external if applicable – regulatory or government entities should be considered).

Sequoia Furniture Company’s sales over the past three months, half of which are for cash, were as follows:

March	April	May
$422,000	$672,000	$542,000

a. Assume that Sequoia’s collection period is 60 days. What would be its cash receipts in May? What would be its accounts receivable balance at the end of May?

b. Now assume that Sequoia’s collection period is 45 days. What would be its cash receipts in May? What would be its accounts receivable balance at the end of May?

If the collection period is 60 days, May cash receipts from March sales will equal half of March sales or $211,000. In addition the company will receive cash from half of May sales, or $271,000. The total is $482,000. The May accounts receivable balance should be the last 60 days’ worth of credit sales. May credit sales were $271,000 and April’s were $336,000, thus the accounts receivable balance would be $607,000.

With a 45-day collection period, cash collected on May 1 is from credit sales made in mid-March, and collections on May 31 are from credit sales made in mid-April. Therefore, cash receipts from credit sales are from the period mid-March through mid-April, or (422,000/2 + 672,000/2)/2 = $273,500. Adding sales for cash of $271,000, the total is $544,500. The accounts receivable balance would be May’s credit sales and half of April’s credit sales, or 271,000 + 336,000/2 = $439,000.

In 2016, Natural Selection, a nationwide computer dating service, had $504 million of assets and $202 million of liabilities.

In 2016, Natural Selection, a nationwide computer dating service, had $504 million of assets and $202 million of liabilities. Earnings before interest and taxes were $122 million, interest expense was $27.5 million, the tax rate was 40 percent, principal repayment requirements were $24.2 million, and annual dividends were 25 cents per share on 22 million shares outstanding.

a. Calculate the following for Natural Selection: (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

b. What percentage decline in earnings before interest and taxes could Natural Selection have sustained before failing to cover: (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

i. Liabilities-to-equity ratio = 202/302 = 0.67
ii. Times interest earned = EBIT/interest expense = 122/27.5 = 4.44
iii. Times burden covered = EBIT/[interest + principal repayment/(1 − tax rate)] = 122/[27.5 + 24.2/(1 − 0.4)] = 1.80

i. To fail to cover the existing interest payments, the times interest earned ratio has to fall below one.= (4.44 − 1)/4.44 = 77.5%, or (122 − 27.5)/122 = 77.5%
ii. To fail to cover the interest and sinking fund payment, the times burden covered ratio has to fall to below one.= (1.80 − 1)/1.80 = 44.4%, or [122 − (27.5 + 24.2/(1 − 0.4))]/122 = 44.4% (The difference is due to rounding.)
iii. To fail to cover interest, principal, and dividend payments we must further subtract the impact of dividends on the EBIT.= [122 − (27.5 + ((24.2 + 0.25 × 22)/(1 − 0.4))]/122 = (122 − 77)/122 = 36.9%

Final Project HMG6476

Example of Report and its content

A) Example Reports (2 examples) – Use as a “go-by” for formatting your own project report – all reports MUST have the following: (1) professional cover (2) transmittal letter (3) table of contents (4) introduction (5) Site and Area Review – May be broken into 2 sections – one discussing the neighborhood characteristics – visibility, access, etc. and the second discussing demographics, airport stats, etc. (6) Lodging Supply and Demand Analysis (ends witih projection of average daily rate and occupancy for YOUR proposed hotel (7) Financial Analysis.

B) Comp Supply interview (2 examples) – typical forms to be used when interviewing hotel GM’s, Directors of Sales, etc.

C) Example proposal – shows how work is outlined and job is proposed to a client (the bid)

D) Fee estimate worksheet – very simplistic way of arriving at fee to be quoted to client – per person using hourly billing rates

E) Project links and websites – various sources for data – heavy emphasis on data for area review section

HFT 6476 – Class Project – On-Line Spring B 2012
Note: This is FICTITOUS PROJECT
OK – ONE MORE TIME – THIS IS ALL ‘MAKE BELIEVE’!!!!!
 Development site to be evaluated: You are to choose a vacant development site in an area that is easily accessible to you. The development site must be suitable for hotel development (based on a quick look). If you cannot locate a vacant site, choose an existing site (not a hotel) with a building that you will ASSUME will be demolished to make way for the hotel that is your project topic.
 Your client is the LENDER on the project – The First National Bank of Boca Raton. Your contact will be (address all correspondence to) Ms. Concerned Client, First National Bank of Boca Raton, One Blue Skies Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, Keep in mind that Ms. Client is NOT the developer of the project – she is the head due diligence person at the bank that is going
to loan the money to the developer to build the project. Your obligation, as a consultant, is to let the bank know about whether this will be a good loan.
 New hotel (at the location YOU chose nearby to YOU) will open on January 1, 2014. Plans include:
 120 guest rooms
 Planned average daily rate, based on the developer’s pro-forma of about $125 (current value dollars)
 4,000 square feet of meeting space
 Restaurant – Bistro type (casual or linen table service depending on the meal period) 6 AM to midnight (100 seats).
 Pool and outside patio area
 Developer is planning to develop the hotel as a relatively new concept – Andaz by Hyatt. You must be aware of this and factor it you’re your projections – i.e. include appropriate franchise fees for the brand, etc.
 Hotel is to be operated by a very well known and respected management company – Top Notch Lodging – so you can assume it will be very professionally managed.
 Total estimated cost of the development including purchase of the land is $9.6 million ($80,000 PER UNIT). Developer is looking for the bank to loan him 60% of the TOTAL cost.
Repeat – PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR CLIENT IS THE BANK… IF THIS IS A BAD DEAL – I.E. NOT A GOOD LOAN FOR THEM TO MAKE, THEY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
