Writing: Person-Focused Pay Structures Assignment Instructions

Overview
Person-focused pay programs are not really new. Various early forms of these programs appeared in the 1980s. Organizational adoption was slow partly because they can very quickly drive labor costs up. Why is this changing? Explain the reasons for this change. Consider Susan Jackson’s situation. Susan is a young professional in her 8th year of her technological manufacturing career since graduating from college.
She is frustrated by the lack of opportunity to showcase her talent and skillset. Susan feels like she has so much more to offer than is asked of her. Consequently, she is once again on the job market. If she succeeds in her search, Susan will join her third organization in 8 years. Explain why a job with a person-focused pay program might help alleviate her frustration. Finally, what are the potential advantages and disadvantages of these programs for the organization? For the employee?

Roe v Wade: The Nuances of Return on Equity in Business

People: The Core of Organizational Success

When learning about Return on Equity (ROE) and how it is used within companies to determine the book value of equity, I believe we must look at all sides here, not just the financial side of things when it comes to rewarding one-on this basis. First, let’s discuss the organization side. In another course I am currently taking Organizational Behavior, the readings stated that Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart and richest person in the world when he died, declared to the first author over lunch a number of years ago when asked what the answer was to successful organizations — “People are the key!” The technology can be purchased and copied; it levels the playing field. The people, on the other hand, cannot be copied. Although it may be possible to clone human bodies, their ideas, personalities, motivations, and organizational cultural values cannot be copied.

With that being stated, we have to take into consideration that people and the performance they provide are what gets the work done. Successful management will lead the company to consistently bring in profits. Thus making the market value greater than the book value. The problem here is the market value can increase and decrease at any time while the book value tends to be more stable.

ROE-Based Bonuses: Pros and Cons

The higher the ROE, the more likely a company is capable of generating cash internally. In my opinion, I feel that management bonuses should be based on ROE because that improves and encourages performance. Also, they will be rewarded based on what they actually bring to the table, not what’s already there. While the market value a company’s market value is not as consistent as book value as it can fluctuate, and if we are giving out bonuses based on such, it may not be in the best interest of the company.

The pros I see in this method are people are rewarded for the actual work they are putting into the company and not just benefiting from the existing reputation of the company and its current market value. The major con I see in using this method to reward is the fact that the company may not see the immediate benefits of a high return on equity.

Another con I see is that ROE can be irrelevant if the earning form is not reinvested or distributed. This would mean we are rewarding for the potential it has, but we aren’t always guaranteed that the potential will see its full cycle to benefit the company.

DuPont Equation: ROE’s Role in Growth

Advantages of a firm focusing on ROE with respect to its analysis using the DuPont equation are being able to easily understand changes in their ROE over time because it is broken down into three parts. It allows the firm to see which factors are more dominant in relation to the firm’s ROE, and this, in turn, allows them to focus more on those factors. A focus on ROE does promote firm growth when the earnings are reinvested into the firm’s operations.

In turn, that leads to a high rate of growth for the firm, while increasing the internal growth rate is great in one way. In some ways, it can hinder a firm and its expansion by causing stress and over-extending the very same managers that I have already expressed are the key to success. So, most companies tend to measure growth using the sustainable growth rate to reduce the risk of putting too much on the very people who make the firm successful. Substantial growth will attract more young professionals, motivate current staff, and overall place more confidence in the firm, driving profitability.

Proposal to Reduce Radiology Wait Times with a New Transport Role

There has been a steady increase in patient numbers in recent years. The aging population, the cost of medical care, and the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act have all added to the increase in wait time for all radiology exams. The ebb and flow of residents and visitors Cape Cod used to see is not happening as much anymore. The introduction of new technology and the increase in provider orders are also reasons for increased wait times for exams.

The Cape Cod and Shields Healthcare Partnership Proposal

Shields Healthcare Group and Cape Cod Healthcare partnership was formed in an effort to provide quality care at a reasonable price. New technology, such as Cardiac MRI, is being utilized, and as the noninvasive study continues to prove useful, there will be an increase in wait times for routine studies. Cape Cod Hospital’s Mission Statement is to coordinate and deliver the highest quality, accessible health services, which enhance the health of all Cape Cod residents and visitors.

The evolving medical landscape demands efficient and innovative delivery of services, and Shields Health Care is the obvious choice to accomplish this goal. This is Shields Healthcare Group’s Vision statement. Our value-driven culture is based on character, excellence, innovation, kindness, and growth and ensures we deliver the highest quality of care to our patients and our partners.

We are the first choice for imaging and therapy services and strive to remain a role model for others to follow. It is time that all departments work together to achieve maximum utilization of existing equipment. In an effort to provide the level of care Cape Cod Hospital is known and strives for, it is imperative to consider the addition of a dedicated radiology transport position.

Proposal to Navigate the Evolving Models of Healthcare Delivery

Major forces that affect the delivery of healthcare today are cost, problems with access to care, an aging population, technology, and opposing models. Opposing models, for example, show the fee-for-service model in direct conflict with the growing patient-centered or value-based healthcare. Fee-for-service encourages quantity, whereas value-based healthcare encourages providers to provide quality healthcare. In the environment we now live in, patients are more aware of where and how they spend their money, so they are able to choose where they have their healthcare needs met.

Due to the popularity rise in high deductibles, providers have to focus on providing quality care as well as focus on financial plans that will maximize the patient’s dollars. With the Affordable Care Act in place, previously uninsured Americans have access to services. The aging population is also using a large portion of the healthcare services available. Both groups of these populations result in a greater demand for services.

Tackling Seasonal Impacts: A Treatment Delay Proposal

Cape Cod Healthcare provides state-of-the-art technology and healthcare services in five locations across Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Their mission is to excel in the performance of patient care and provide our community with the most advanced diagnostic imaging and interventional services. Shields Healthcare Group is a family-owned business that provides a diverse offering of MRI, Radiation Oncology, CT, PET/CT Imaging, and Virtual Radware services.

It is the Shield’s focus, experience, and commitment that has helped the company grow to be the largest and most technically advanced network of medical imaging diagnostic and treatment facilities and the largest network of radiation oncology treatment centers in New England. The area of service is impacted dramatically during the summer months, and it results in long wait times for exams, which in turn delays necessary diagnosis and treatment plans.

The benefits of adding a position would be reducing patient backlog, avoiding large capital expenditures due to budgetary constraints, reducing operating costs while maintaining state-of-the-art capabilities, and utilizing available technologists who are registered, qualified, and employed in both organizations.

A Proposal for a Dedicated Transport: Unlocking Multiple Benefits

This organization’s mission and goals to provide the highest quality and assessable health services are put in jeopardy with the increase in wait time for scans. A volume and revenue forecast for the MRI services could be used to support the addition of a dedicated telemetry/transport position. The end result would be, with refinement, the total operating revenue forecast for the hospital MRI services. By adding a dedicated transport position, the additional help would decrease the wait time for diagnosis or treatment. The operating expenses budget should have a minor increase, but the operating revenue budget would also increase. This would be the most efficient way to increase utilization while not decreasing the net assets.

The best financial statements to review would be the balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. The financial statements I have available are the 2015 and 2016 consolidated statements of operations for Cape Cod Healthcare Group. After a review of both the operations budget and the budget assets, the addition of the transport position is something that is within reach and would have minimum impact on the operation budget. There is a very low financial risk in adding a position when a flexible budget is in place.

Flexible Budget Proposal: Adapting to Seasonal Patient Needs

Realistically, a flexible budget is the better choice for the situation. When the patient numbers fluctuate with the season, it is difficult to run on a fixed budget as it does not allow for the sudden increase in study orders. Although a fixed budget is easier to prepare, it does not allow for any fluctuations. With the flex budget, it could be evaluated per quarter to determine if there is any change in necessity and adjusted accordingly.

The return on assets (ROA) ratio would be used, as that measures how well a company’s manager is at using its assets to generate income. The formula to calculate this is Net Income/Total Assets*. In this case, the current assets of $2258487.00 and current liabilities of $142792707.00 result in a working capital ratio of 1.58.

A current ratio of 1.0 or greater is considered acceptable for most businesses. Most analysts agree that other factors need to be considered before drawing conclusions from the current ratio, such as how quickly current assets can be converted into cash and the credit terms extended by suppliers and customers. A high ratio (greater than 2.0) indicates excessive current assets in the form of inventory and underemployed capital. A low ratio (less than 1.0) indicates the difficulty to meet short-term financial obligations, and the inability to take advantage of opportunities requiring quick cash. The answer is expressed in the form of a percentage and gives a better picture of how well the business is converting the money it is investing into net income.

Analyzing Liquidity: A Proposal to Evaluate Current Ratio & Quick Ratio Metrics

The higher the percentage is, the better because that means the company is making more money on less investment. It is helpful to use this ratio to compare the business with another in the same industry or with the industry average (Louis C. Gapenski, 2015). A liquidity ratio would measure the amount of liquidity (cash and easily converted assets) that you have to cover your debts and provide a broad overview of your financial health. The current ratio measures your company’s ability to generate cash to meet your short-term financial commitments. * Current assets $225848573 * Current liabilities $142792707 = Results Working capital ratio: 1.58

A current ratio of 1.0 or greater is considered acceptable for most businesses. Other factors need to be considered before drawing conclusions from the current ratio, such as how quickly current assets can be converted into cash and the credit terms extended by suppliers and customers. A high ratio (greater than 2.0) indicates excessive current assets in the form of inventory and underemployed capital. A low ratio (less than 1.0) indicates the difficulty to meet short-term financial obligations, and the inability to take advantage of opportunities requiring quick cash. The quick ratio measures your ability to access cash quickly to support immediate demands.

The formula would divide the current assets by the current liabilities. In this case * Temporary investments and marketable securities $10615038.00, cash* $49689218,* other current assets $979,575,063.00,* Current liabilities $142,792,707.00. The Result=Cash ratio: 7.28, which indicates the number of dollars of quick assets available to pay each dollar of current liabilities. Generally, a Quick Ratio of 1.0 or greater is considered adequate to ensure a company’s ability to pay its current obligations. A value of less than 1.0 signals a problem in meeting short-term obligations.

ROI Proposal: Assessing the Value of the New Transport Position

This proposal would have an impact that would add value to the capital budget. It is a less disruptive way to increase utilization and would provide a dedicated transportation position that would demonstrate the commitment to patient care and the safety of the employees and patients. The position would be responsible for bringing patients to scheduled appointments, and that would result in an increase in studies performed and a decrease in the delay of treatment.

Based on Cape Cod Healthcare Inc.’s 2016 operating budget for the year 2016, the increase in salary or wages for a new position would have minimal impact on the budget but would have a positive impact on reimbursement for the increased number of scans completed. The increase in throughput would decrease the flow time and help provide quality care. Decreasing the empty table times and increasing equipment use is a priority in controlling imaging expenditures.

The performance measures in place can be used to keep track of the progress. The flow time or total processing time would decrease for each patient. The throughput or flow rate would increase on a daily basis from 20 patients to 26 patients or more, depending on the exam protocols. The implementation of this strategy could increase revenue by $3600.00 or more per day over a 16-hour shift minus operating expenses.

The addition of the wages per day for the position, even at the top of the pay scale at $17.79 per day or $19.79 per evening with differential, adds $301.44 to the operating expenses. The Cape Cod Healthcare Inc. 2016 operating budget supports the addition of a dedicated transport position. A throughput analysis may be the most accurate to measure this impact on the capital budget.

According to the Massachusetts pay scale, a Radiology Aide/Transporter has an annual income of $20,521-$39837 or an hourly rate of $9.77-$17.79. The position is also part of the union, so the position would be entitled to increases yearly. The Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) program -also known as CDS- requires ordering providers to consult CDS when ordering advanced imaging exams.

When considering the price of a scan and the recent decrease in Medicare reimbursement, “Shields Health Care is paid about $600, on average, for each MRI it performs,” it stands to reason that an empty table can be costly. The addition of a dedicated MRI transport position would be a cost-effective way to provide patients with timely exams and would ensure maximum utilization of existing equipment. “Shields Health Care Group, as a privately held company, does not disclose revenues, profits, or other financial information.”

The Proposal’s Short and Long-term Impact on Healthcare

The short-term impact would be measured as soon as the position is added. Within the first quarter, the increase will show in completed exam numbers. The resources are available in the operation budget, and restructuring can happen quickly and provide immediate feedback on the success or failure. The proposal succeeds or fails based solely on the strength of the participants.

Long-term thinking only happens when there is a commitment to continuous improvement backed by the authority to drive change. This proposal is about maximizing the company’s return on investment, and it reflects the company mission statement: “to coordinate and deliver the highest quality, accessible health services, which enhance the health of all Cape Cod residents and visitors.” The long-term results would make it clear that success for patient care is the priority.

The process of adding a position would take a short amount of time, but the outcome would be evident by the daily positive utilization report. There is a sense of urgency to increase utilization and decrease patient wait time for both exams and treatment. The priority is to conduct business that goes along with the mission statement, which is To coordinate and deliver the highest quality, accessible health services that enhance the health of all Cape Cod residents and visitors. This would provide patients with the best care possible and with the least impact on the overall budget.

This proposal would keep the organization working towards the Institute of Health improvement triple aim initiative of improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction), Improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of health care.

People do not like change; it takes time to adapt and to see a process from a different angle. When considering a change that can impact an organization’s processes or budget, it is vital to have an understanding of the financial status of the organization. Every department must contribute and be active in the effort to succeed. Healthcare organizations can be for-profit and not-for-profit, so the goals will be different, but the one constant is the desire to provide quality patient care. It doesn’t have to be a large change to make an impact; you only need a small change to make a difference.

1)Financial ratios are an important instrument in financial statement examination. Financial ratios are mathematical computations that shed light on many aspects of a company’s financial performance and situation.
Three typically utilized ratios in financial statement analysis are:
1. Current Ratio: To determine the current ratio, divide current assets by current liabilities. This ratio measures a company’s capacity to satisfy its short-term obligations using current assets (Fernando, 2024). Internal users can use the current ratio to monitor the company’s liquidity and short-term financial health, which can assist them make decisions about working capital management or short-term financing. External users, such as creditors, may use the current ratio to assess a company’s ability to repay short-term loans, which may influence their choice to issue credit to the company.
2. Return on Investment (ROI): The ROI ratio calculates a company’s profitability in relation to its asset investments (Fernando, 2023). It is computed by dividing net income by total assets. Internal users might utilize ROI to assess the efficacy of investments and make decisions about capital allocation or strategic planning. External users, such as investors, may use the ROI ratio to evaluate the company’s profitability and investment prospects, affecting their decision to invest in it.
3. Debt-to-Equity Ratio: This metric compares a company’s overall debt to its shareholders’ equity (Fernando, 2024). It represents a company’s financial leverage and risk exposure. Internal users can utilize the debt-to-equity ratio to evaluate the company’s financial leverage and make decisions on debt financing or capital structure optimization. External users, such as creditors or potential investors, may use this ratio to assess the company’s solvency and financial stability, affecting their decision to lend or invest in the company.
Although financial ratios provide useful insights into a firm’s financial performance and situation, they may not be adequate on their own to make internal or external judgments about the organization. To make educated decisions, financial statement analysis should be supplemented with a thorough examination of qualitative elements, industry trends, market conditions, and other non-financial data. Furthermore, financial ratios should be understood in light of the company’s unique conditions and goals to ensure informed decision-making. As a result, while financial ratios are important tools in financial statement analysis, they should be utilized in conjunction with other information to make informed internal and external judgments about a company.

2)Financial ratios are essential tools used by both internal and external users to evaluate a company’s performance and make informed decisions. Three key ratios commonly used in analysis are:
Current Ratio: This ratio measures a company’s ability to pay short-term obligations with its current assets. It is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. A higher current ratio indicates better liquidity, which is crucial for internal users such as management to ensure the company can meet its short-term obligations. External users, like creditors and investors, also rely on this ratio to assess the company’s financial health and its ability to honor debt commitments.
Return on Equity (ROE): ROE measures a company’s profitability relative to shareholders’ equity, calculated by dividing net income by shareholders’ equity. It provides insights into how effectively management is using equity financing to generate profits. Internal users, including management and employees, use ROE to evaluate performance and devise strategies to enhance profitability. External users, such as investors, use this ratio to compare profitability with other companies and make investment decisions.
Debt to Equity Ratio: This ratio compares a company’s total debt to its shareholders’ equity, indicating the proportion of financing that comes from creditors versus shareholders. It is crucial for assessing financial leverage and risk. Internal users, particularly financial managers, use this ratio to balance debt and equity financing to optimize the capital structure. External users, such as investors and analysts, use it to evaluate the financial stability and risk profile of a company before making investment decisions.
While financial ratios are powerful tools for analysis, they are not sufficient on their own for making comprehensive decisions. Ratios provide quantitative insights but do not capture qualitative factors such as market conditions, competitive landscape, and management capabilities. Moreover, ratios are based on historical financial data, which may not always predict future performance. Therefore, it is essential to complement ratio analysis with other qualitative assessments and forward-looking information to make well-rounded decisions.
