Part A: Classification of items as assets or liabilities

Under this section, we will classify each of the given accounting transactions under appropriate category. Below presented is the snapshot of the excel sheet indicating the correct answers followed by the reasons for their classification under the relevant category:

Reasons for classification of each item:

a) An amount of £40K owed in incorporation tax: Since the company owes an amount, it will be classified under the liabilities section.
b) Stock worth £15K in the stock room: Stock/ Inventories are the current assets of the company and hence will be classified under current assets only.
c) An amount of £20K paid to a supplier for a product yet ...

The Pertinent Positives and Negatives on Examination related to his Presenting Problem

A pertinent positive is a symptom or sign that contributes to the identification of a patient’s medical problem. Pertinent negative refers to the absence of a symptom that can help in substantiating the medical condition from which a patient could be suffering. Pertinent positives and negatives are usually captured during the physical examination and after taking the medical history of a patient. The pertinent positives and negatives contribute towards the differential diagnosis of a patient.
In the case study given, the pertinent positives include; Dyspnea, hematemesis, dark stool, epigastric pains, dyspepsia, duodenal ulcer, moderate epigastric tendering, and stool guaiac. On the other hand, ...

In view of the overall administration challenges being faced by the medical centre, the following report contains suggestion of information technology solutions to address the problems.
A major solution is wireless communications technology, IEEE 802.11b also known as Wireless Fidelity (WiFi). Devices equipped with the WiFi card can communicate and exchange information with other devices also equipped with the card. This technology is key to other technological products in a fast-paced work environment like the hospital. Most of the other technological solutions ride on this medium as a means of communication. Although security is the major concern with wireless networks, ...

CHAPTER 17 CASE STUDY

The project team could use one laboratory manager (LM), two Health Information Management (HIM) officers, and one administrative support (AS) representative. Others include one Nurse Practitioner (NP), one Family Practice Physician (FPP), and one Physician Assistant (PA).

The departmental areas represented here include the clinical department, administrative support, health records, and laboratory.

The NP and FPP should satisfy all the academic qualifications required for their position. Thus, they should specialize in a relevant area such as family and primary care. This position requires NPs and FPPs with adequate critical thinking skills. They should have good communication skills and a passion for informatics. The idea behind such skills is the inclusion of a professional that ...

Influenza Case Study: Presentation Outline

The other diagnosis considered was pneumonia, but the patient lacked all of the symptoms corresponding to pneumonia (i.e. cough); similarly, the patient’s symptoms corresponded with the flu (i.e. fever, muscle soreness, lethargy, runny nose, and shortness of breath).

So, for these reasons, the patient was not started on oral antibiotics at the hospital.

Instead, the patient began a course of the aforementioned Tamiflu, despite laboratory supported data confirming that the patient had the flu. The reason for this decision is that laboratory-run viral cultures take 3-10 days to return to the clinician treating the patient, and Tamiflu useful only if administered within 48 hours of flu onset; this means that a course of ...

Test plan

Test Objective
The purpose of conducting this test is to ensure that the minimum safe arming distance of the SRAW is accurately determined. The key objective of this test is that SRAW must be armed at a minimum distance of 16 metres. A properly planned and executed test program saves the cost of the entire program and ensures that results are obtained as expectations and that the device performs as per expectations when placed in actual conditions (Skelley et al., 2004).

Test Scenarios Set Up

In order to run the basic scenarios for proper functioning of SRAW CTP, System Development and Demonstration phase ...

Clinical Case: Patient W.R.

The priorities of care

The first priority in relation to provision of care in the case of patient W.R is relieving him of the discomfort brought about by perceived unrelieved indigestion. The second priority is to address the elevated blood pressure of the patient. Finally, the third concern would be to transfer W.R to the Regional Medical Center so that he could be subjected to cardiac catheterization and given proper medical attention.

Electronic Health Record (EHR) is very important technology in the management of healthcare institutions. The technology helps improves the quality of healthcare services, reduce costs, increase patients’ outcomes and promote collaboration among care providers. These cited benefits vary across hospitals depending on the model, version and type of EHR software used. Hence, the hospitals are encouraged to upgrade EHR system to increase its effectiveness. To this end, the board of Southeast Medical Center’s decision to replace its old EHR system with Epic ambulatory care EHR is a step in the right direction. According to the hospital, the new EHR ...

A chain of eleven random explosions has taken place in an area that traverses two states and seven counties. The random explosions resulted in five deaths, 32 injuries and significant property damage. In all eleven cases, the explosions were detonated remotely.

Within the ambit of information systems security, Social Engineering refers to the act of manipulating individuals to give up or leak confidential information. It usually involves tricking people (through human interaction) to break into regular security SOPs. Social engineering has become the most widely used and easiest techniques for attacking an information system as it relies on the victim’s innate ability to trust people and naturally, be helpful towards them.
Social Engineering is divided into two broad categories: Human-based and Computer-based. The former involves face-to-face interactions with the victim to retrieve the intended ...

According to the description, and in lieu of the change process, it is easy to conclude that the stage of change model is the contemplation stage. At this stage, an individual is in a situation where she ‘sits on the fence’. She knows she wants to quit a bad habit, or wants to effect a certain change of situation but is not sure how. The following reasons explain the position that she is in the contemplation stage. Firstly, she is quite open to information about the problem. This may explain why she is at the nutritionist’s and why she is talking ...

Introduction and Background

In the past 60 years, India has crossed major milestones in healthcare such as greater life expectancy, decrease in infant death rate, wiping out leprosy and eliminating small pox. Regardless of the progress, India’s healthcare demonstrates crude inequalities. At one end of the spectrum is the rise in medical tourism, pulling in more than 2 lac global patients in 2006. At the other end, curable diseases like diarrhoea and malnutrition, particularly of children below 3 years, are continually predominant. Likewise, in comparison to South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Indonesia and China, vaccinations in India are still ...

Edwin’s symptoms of high fever, a stiff neck, and severe headaches indicate that he suffers from meningitis. Although Edwin does not report any other sick students that live with him, meningitis is not as contagious as the flu (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2011), so it is possible that there will be no outbreak among the residents in his fraternity house. While meningitis is associated with high leukocyte counts, that piece of information is not relevant for distinguishing the type of meningitis. Further diagnostic tests are required to identify other factors that will allow a clear distinction between ...

Application of ICT in Health Care

Provision of quality health services is the key agenda for health care through usage of innovative technologies. However, the most significant one would be the use of (Information and Communication Technologies) ICT in healthcare services. ICT can be described as tools that ease communication, the dispensation, broadcasting of information, and electronic distribution of data. This involves the use of electronic digital as well as analog ICTs. The use of ICT can be divided into two areas; basic ledger system and patient health care. The ledger system deals with the day to day purchases and payments made to the health ...
