GLOBAL MARKET OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT FOR CANCER INSURANCE

Description GLOBAL MARKET OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT FOR CANCER INSURANCE Cancer is a leading cause of premature death. Major types of cancer include skin, lung, stomach, breast, and prostate cancer. It is a life-threatening disease that is often difficult and expensive to treat, with medical bills running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. In many countries, people buy health insurance to pay the costs of medical care. Health insurance companies such as AFLAC and American International Group (AIG) specialize in supplemental policies to cover specialized cancer care. Managerial Challenge Given limited resources, managers must identify the most appropriate countries to target with their products and services. Because decisions about which markets to enter can be very challenging, managers conduct research on the available choices. Initially, managers systematically narrow the number of potential target countries using Global Market Opportunity Assessment. In this exercise, your challenge is to assess markets for supplemental cancer insurance in various countries. Background Companies and governments often provide citizens with basic medical insurance. However, these policies may not fully cover the high cost of life-threatening ailments such as cancer. Moreover, most people lack comprehensive health insurance against cancer. Thus, people often purchase supplemental health insurance. A sizeable market for comprehensive cancer insurance exists around the world. There are numerous health insurance companies that offer cancer insurance. When seeking to sell insurance abroad, these firms need to find out what countries offer the best sales prospects. Because the choice of potential markets can be overwhelming, managers use Global Market Opportunity Assessment (GMOA). Task In this exercise, your task is to conduct a Global Market Opportunity Assessment to identify the most promising country to target for sales of supplemental cancer insurance. You will examine variables that can help you estimate the size of relevant industry sales within each of four possible target countries. Your assessment of each target country will be based on industry-specific indicators of demand for cancer insurance. PART 2: GLOBAL MARKET OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT FOR CANCER INSURANCE Expanded Background Companies often provide their employees with basic medical insurance. These policies may not fully cover the high costs of specialized cancer treatment. Some national governments provide heath insurance to their citizens. Such policies may not pay medical expenses for major illnesses above a certain cost level. Many countries lack well-developed health insurance programs. Many people either lack coverage or worry about losing insurance if they lose or change jobs. Worldwide, the vast majority of people lack comprehensive health insurance against cancer. Consequently, there exists a sizeable market for specialized cancer insurance in countries around the world. Health insurance companies such as AFLAC and American International Group (AIG) specialize in supplemental policies to cover specialized cancer care. Supplemental cancer insurance is usually sold through insurance agents and insurance brokers. A typical agent establishes a sales office that can be easily visited by insurance customers. Occasionally, agents contact potential customers directly by telephone or in their homes to sell insurance. Insurance is sometimes sold over the Internet. Task and Methodology When seeking to sell cancer insurance abroad, there are several issues that a company needs to address. What countries offer the best prospects? In which foreign markets can supplemental cancer insurance be profitably sold? The choice of potential countries can be overwhelming. To address this challenge, managers employ Global Market Opportunity Assessment (GMOA) to identify the most appropriate countries to target. In the first stage of GMOA for supplemental cancer insurance, the researcher would typically conduct a country screening to filter out the most promising country markets. The most important variables to research at this stage include market size (usually assessed by examining each country’s population); growth rate (typically the growth rate of each country’s population); and market intensity (the buying power of each county’s residents in terms of income level). At this stage of GMOA, the researcher would ordinarily consider all possible countries worldwide. However, in this exercise, we simplify the task by narrowing the list of countries to the following four: China, Brazil, South Africa and Czech Republic. For each of these four countries, your task is to assess industry market potential to estimate the size of likely industry sales, that is, the likelihood of sales potential for supplemental cancer insurance. Specifically, for each of the countries given, you should research the following variables:

Operations Management – Case Study – Clear Eyes Cataracts Clinic

Read the ClearEyes case and provide a written analysis that includes answers to the following questions. Your paper should be typed, in paragraph form, 12 point font, double-spaced. You should provide a thorough analysis that includes answers to the above questions. Your paper should be a minimum of 3-5 typed pages. 1) Use the process flow diagram exhibit to calculate capacity utilization for each category of staff, and for intake, surgical, and examination rooms. What is the clinic’s capacity per year? 2) By what percentage would patient volume and capacity utilization change if ClearEyes cut in half of the patients who complete intake but fail to show up for surgery? If the clinic could increase customer yield as described above, would it need to add any staff or room capacity? If so, how much? 3) How much would pretax profit change if this increase in yield were accomplished? 4) What actions could ClearEyes take to increase yield? Be careful to recommend actions, rather than results of actions such as “reduce ptient anxiety about the operation”. 5) What course of action would you recommend to Connors?

Supply Chain Management SCM: AbbVie Biopharmaceutical Company

Supply Chain Management (SCM): AbbVie (Biopharmaceutical Company). “The challenge for hospitals is to align the supply chain to the care delivery model.” Working as part of a team, this report will involve research on a unique topic within healthcare SCM:

• A specific topic of healthcare supply chains that is rather novel and disruptive; • A driver of supply chain performance in healthcare organizations; • Research into a preeminent company that support logistic functions within healthcare supply chains, the job they perform and how their role has evolved and is predicted to evolve; You can start by establishing a broad research question such as: a. What are effective ways to reduce supply chain costs based on new technologies? b. What are the benefits and outlays using a group purchasing organization (GPO)? How can it be implemented? c. How do healthcare organizations manage risk in the supply chain? What are relevant forms of risk? Then drill down on a disruptive element, a specific company example, or a driver of performance.

paper that explain the difference between a child vs to an adult assessment. In this case I will discuss Traumatic Brain Injury.. It needs to be focus on the differences in between. Example: a difference between a child and an adult if we are taking about the integumentary system the skin for the child is thinner than the adult so if a child get burn the skin can be damage in a greater scale compare to the adult. This is just an example. This paper will talk about traumatic brain injury. I will attach the article. Please do not add any other article, work with the one that i submitted.

Gastrointestinal Tract: Disorders of Motility

Gastrointestinal Tract: Disorders of Motility

s Assignment 1: Gastrointestinal Tract: Disorders of Motility Jamie is a 3-month-old female who presents with her mother for evaluation of “throwing up.” Mom reports that Jamie has been throwing up pretty much all the time since she was born. Jamie does not seem to be sick. In fact, she drinks her formula vigorously and often acts hungry. Jamie has normal soft brown bowel movements every day and, overall, seems like a happy and contented baby. She smiles readily and does not cry often. Other than the fact that she often throws up after drinking a bottle, she seems to be a very healthy, happy infant. A more precise history suggests that Jamie does not exactly throw up—she does not heave or act unwell—but rather it just seems that almost every time she drinks a bottle she regurgitates a milky substance. Mom thought that she might be allergic to her formula and switched her to a hypoallergenic formula. It didn’t appear to help at all, and now Mom is very concerned. Cases like these are not uncommon. The mother was concerned and thinking her daughter may have an allergy; she changed to a different formula. However, sometimes babies have immature GI tracts that can lead to physiology reflux as they adapt to normal life outside the uterus. Parents often do not consider this possibility, prompting them to change formulas rather than seeking medical care. As in the case study above, GI alterations can often be difficult to identify because many cause similar symptoms. This same issue also arises with adults—adults may present with symptoms that have various potential causes. When evaluating patients, it is important for the advanced practice nurse to know the types of questions he or she needs to ask to obtain the appropriate information for diagnosis. For this reason, you must have an understanding of common GI disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis. To Prepare • Review this week’s media presentation on the gastrointestinal system. • Review Chapter 35 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production. • Review Chapter 37 in the Huether and McCance text. Consider the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis. Think about how these disorders are similar and different. • Select a patient factor “gender” Consider how this factor might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on this factor. • construct a mind map for gastritis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of gastritis. To Complete Write 3-pages paper that addresses the following: • Describe the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production. • Explain the changes that occur to gastric acid stimulation and production with GERD, PUD, and gastritis disorders. • Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. • Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected. “Gender” • Construct a mind map for gastritis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

Description 1. Use at least 10 of the scholarly articles on your topic to create the first part of your unique annotated bibliography . Be sure you are using formal citation style. Each annotated bibliography entry must be on each work that you find. Remember: these 10 or more articles from library sources must be relevant to – must clearly center on – your chosen topic. In each entry you must explain how this work/article specifically concerns the women’s health issue that you chose. 2. Your Annotated Bibliography that you are turning in as your Desk Study Part 1 assignment must include a minimum of 10 entries and you must use formal citation style. In *each* (meaning, for everyone) of the 10 or more entries in your annotated bibliography, you must be sure to do the following: explain, in your own words, the main point of the article describe how this article relates to your chosen topic; in this section, be sure to include at least 1 direct quote per entry and recall that direct quoting requires formal in text citations state whether the article is most heavily an elaboration of the Statement of the Problem, a Design Study, a Review of the Literature, or an Analysis of Data. * An “article category” refers to how you are choosing to best/most accurately categorize/describe each of the articles you are citing in your Desk Study Part 1 and 2. These are the article categories from which you should be selecting for each of your 10 sources (5 for DS Part 1 and 5 for DS Part 2): * Statement of the problem: Use this if the article most evidently, clearly introduces/summarizes/conveys the problem being studied/examined/analyzed. Choose this if the article primarily and most strongly addresses the issue at hand (which is your DS Project topic). * Design study: Use this if the article’s authors’ study design — their approach/research methods used to analyze/study the topic at hand — is featured most heavily in the article. This means that the article primarily describes and presents the methods used to arrive at the results presented (methods could be field work, surveys, interviews, etc.). * Review of Literature: Choose this if the article is primarily and most heavily a review of the existing literature on the topic at hand (your selected Desk Study project topic). If you choose this category, you’re reporting that the article is best described as a work that offers readers a review of the scholarship published on your topic. * Analysis of data: Select this if the article is mostly useful to you because of the analyses of the data it includes. In other words, the article is most heavily a presentation of the analysis/interpretations of the statistics/collected information from the studies carried out on the topic at hand (your DS Project topic). 3. explain why you think that each article qualifies as that type of piece (see previous bullet); explain your justification for this designation 4. write 3-5 sentences per annotated bibliography entry (your annotated bibliography entries must be in alphabetical order by authors’ last names, of course) use formal citation style (this refers to paper headers, title, in text citations when directly quoting from the works 5. include a formal References page at the end of your assignment, double-spacing throughout, etc.) in addition to the annotated bibliography entries (your References list must be in alphabetical order by authors’ last names, of course)
