Culture

• Traditions, principles, and guides for behaviour that are shared among members of a particular group.

• Cultural Sensitivity

• The ability to be open to learning about and accepting of different cultural groups.

• Discrimination

• To make a difference in treatment on a basis other than individual character

Ethnicity

• Sharing a strong sense of identity with a particular religious, racial, or national group

• The recognition and acknowledgement that society is pluralistic. In addition to the dominant culture, there exists many other cultures based around ethnicity, sexual orientation, geography, religion, gender, and class.

• Prejudice

• An attitude, opinion, or feeling formed without adequate prior knowledge, thought, or reason.

• Race

• As a biological concept, it defines groups of people based on a set of genetically transmitted characteristics.

• Racism

• A belief that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

• Sexism

• The belief in the inherent superiority of one sex (gender) over the other and thereby the right to dominance

Ethnocentrism

• To judge other cultures by the standards of one’s own, and beyond that, to see one’s own standards as the true universal and the other culture in a negative way.

• Stereotype

• A generalisation of characteristics that is applied to all members of a cultural group

• Cultural Relativism

• The objective analysis of other cultures – understanding a culture’s beliefs and practices from that culture’s point of view.

• Cultural Relativism is not about imposing judgement or assessing the worth of other cultures. That is ethnocentrism.

• For example, do we judge the wearing of the burqa in Islamic communities, maybe because it differs from certain Western ideas?

Purpose: ‘Pathology is now a big business and medical scientists need to be more broader in focus apart from their clinical speciality areas’. This exercise is to teach you life skills on how to go about writing a business case that you could apply in your personal situation and in the context of a pathology environment.

Structure of a Business case:

Executive summary: Should include statements about what this business case is covering and the current state of pathology testing ie: keeping up with emerging demands as an example.

-What were the key findings of your business case?

-What was the financial viability of the business case?

-When would the proposal be profitable and break even point?

-Should it be implemented in the context of your proposal?

-What are the key recommendations?

Background:

-Pathology services play a key role in the diagnosis and management of diseases.

-The key business drivers are economic.

-Profitability relies on high throughput (automation) and minimal labour.

-Looking for opportunities to broaden the pathology service in the context of the patient population.

-You need to think about your hospital organisation: What is your patient population that requires pathology testing?

-What tests is your service going to offer and why?

Ie: Molecular genetic tests need to be justified based upon patient population, demand, disease entities.

Ie: ICU lab Biochemistry testing: What patient populations are in ICU? What type of Biochemistry tests would be required for these patients? This would then assist you determining type of analyser/s to be selected, range of tests and volume of tests to be analysed. You would also think about staffing.

SWOT analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

Situational and Problem Statement:

-What is the current pathology service status?

-Are their any problems that can be addressed in the business case?

Ie: Turnaround time for ICU samples if you need to wait for results from central laboratory,

Ie: molecular genetic testing: If the samples are sent to an outside external laboratory-delay in testing and retrieval of results etc.

-Opportunities for development and growth.

Project Description:

-Outline the scope of the project.

Ie: What tests would be offered in the context of which diseases?

-Consider implementation phase: What major components would you need to consider: Staffing, purchasing and installation of equipment, documentation and training, testing and validation, IT and LIS, accreditation of service.

Solution Description:

-Turnaround time effects

-Control of quality

-Frequency of testing

-Staff development-Building of expertise and reputation

-May produce substantial cost savings.

Cost Benefit Analysis:

Income versus expenditure over time (5 years).

-Test income based upon current costs and MBS rebate for the proposed tests you are offering. The number of samples per day per test charged at 100% MBS rate.

-Costs: Major set up costs: equipment and labour.

-Consumables-Kits

-Accreditation

-Maintenance

-QC and QA

-Testing and Validation

-LIS and IT

Need to indicate profit/loss each year and point at which it breaks even to show where the business case will be financially viable and within what time frame.

Implementation timeline:

Do a GANTT chart of Activity vs Time.

Critical Assumptions and Risk assessment:

-Key assumptions.

-MBS rebate, volume of testing, cost of kits and reagents, cost of maintenance, cost of labour.

-risks of direct competitors that could affect volume of testing.

-risk of rising costs of kits, reagents, maintenance and labour etc.

Conclusions and recommendations:

-What were the considerations of the business case.

-Would it be financial viable and if so in what time frame?

-Would you recommend this business case to your executive

-Would their be cost savings?

-What is your final recommendation?

Essay Two

Purpose

The purpose of this essay is to develop a business plan based upon a project that you have been given. Your business plan should contain all the key elements including background, executive summary, situational and problem statement, project description, solution description, cost/benefit analysis, implementation timeline, critical assumptions and risk assessments and conclusions and recommendations.

Topic:

The topic will be one of the following options for the purpose of the exercise.

1. Imagine you are a team member of a large public hospital pathology service and you have been asked to formulate a business case to support an initiative of introducing a new satellite section close to the intensive care unit of a hospital to provide a stat lab encompassing ‘Clinical Biochemistry’. You have been briefed that you could expect to process approximately 50 samples per day. The scenario is that you are setting it up a stat lab for first time in a moderately sized pathology service located adjacent to ICU (physical space and facility has been made available). You will need to consider staffing for the stat lab in Clinical Biochemistry area, infrastructure (equipment) and kind of service (routine clinical biochemistry).

Format:

Your essay will be descriptive supported by evidence from researching your topic. The business plan should contain all the key elements listed above. For cost analysis, an excel spreadsheet would be desirable. The essay should be word-processed in double spacing using Times New Roman and no less than 12 point font size. Your essay should have a title followed by your name and student number. You should include a brief list of sources used in preparing your business case.

Introduction of POCT

In order to improve patient access and patient throughput, a management review of the requirements for a rural (outreach) diabetes treatment clinic has established the need to provide POCT for glucose and HbA1c. You have been asked to supervise the introduction of appropriate POCT devices for these two tests.

Provide recommendations and justification for your choice of glucose and HbA1c devices. Summarise your recommendations on how this may be achieved and the on-going operational procedures required in order to provide quality results for patient testing. Include in your answer recommendations with regard to:

• Critical evaluation of testing devices which provide results appropriate to clinical requirements (i.e. is the chosen device fit for purpose ?)

• Pre-analytical considerations
o Instructions for patient preparation and sample collection
o Patient safety and risk management
o Operator training and on-going competency assessment

• Analytical considerations
o Frequency and type of quality control (QC)
o Recording of QC, action limits and procedures to be followed with QC failure
o External quality assessment (EQA) procedures
o Device maintenance and performance records

• Post-analytical
o Instructions for the recording / reporting of results

• Post implementation follow-up and confirmation of performance requirements

Objective
To provide students with a creative opportunity to observe the complaint handling situation and supply feedback to a service firm, as well as help them understand and evaluate the customer service and “recovery” strategies of a specific firm.

Directions
This is a hypothetical (imaginary) exercise and will require the group/s to first write a complaint letter to a chosen service firm, and again the group should write a reply letter to the grievant customer. The detailed steps of how to expedite this assignment and the requirements are listed below:
Step 1.
Choose any one service firm of your choice from within the hotel industry, airlines, banking, insurance, accounting, legal, education, travel, health, consultation services, or beauty clinic. This could be easily achieved by surfing the internet.

Step 2.
Once you have selected your service firm from within the industry listed above; the name and address of the appropriate person to whom to complaint should be obtained (this may take some research).

Step 3.
Now, the student (group) is required to write a formal complaint letter to your chosen service firm from whom the student (group) has, in his/her opinion, received bad or at least less-than-satisfactory service. The complaint scenario could be your past or present experience or an experience related to you by your family or friends. Care should be taken to include all pertinent information (dates of service, names, account numbers, credit card numbers, etc.) as well as a description of the poor experience and, if appropriate, a suggested course of action the company could take to appropriately “recover” in this situation. That is, the resolution being sought from the company should be clear. Do not mention in the letter that you are doing this as a unit requirement (the complaint letter should not exceed one-and-half pages).

Step 4.
The above complaint letter written to the chosen service firm should request a response from the organization and provide appropriate contact information of the student (group), including a mailing address, e-mail address, phone number (if appropriate), and any other relevant information, to give the service firms a chance to respond within a period of two weeks.

Step 5.
Addressing the above issue raised by your group, the service firm (the group in your case) shall now write a reply to the grievant customer addressing the issue/s. This reply letter should address an apology to the customer first, followed by the steps taken by the firm to resolve the particular grievance/s if appropriate, and the care that would be taken in future to avoid such situations. The resolutions offered by the service firm could also include surprise gifts, benefits, bonus, coupons etc., to the grievant customer (again, this letter should also not exceed one-and-half pages).

Step 6.
Having completed the above steps, you would now nominate one student from within the group as the grievant customer who will present the formal complaint written letter to the class, another student as the service firm manager who will address the issue/s. The remaining two members (one in some groups as there could be 3 sometimes) shall critically analyse the nature of the complaint and the resolution offered by the service firm to the class, include other possible ways the group had considered to resolve the complaints.

Requirements
The critical analysis paper should include all of the following elements (and associated Headings):
(1) Introduction
A (brief) description of: (a) what led to the complaint, (b) the resolution being sought (what you wanted the firm to do in response to the complaint),(c)What the firm was expected to do in response to the complaint, and how quickly the firm was expected to respond.

(2) Firm Response
You should (a) describe what the response was, (b) discuss the adequacy of the firm’s response (in your opinion as a customer), (c) provide three reasons why you believe they did not respond in the manner they should have, and (d) suggest what the firm could have done better to delight you.

(3) Discussion
(a) Discuss the effect that the complaint letter might have had on influencing the firm’s response.
(b) Address how you now feel towards the organization.
(c) Conclude the paper with some finalm thoughts, including a discussion of:
1. your perspective on the statement “The customer who complains is the firm’s friend,”
2. what you learned from this experience, and
3. how you will apply what you learned as you enter the business world.

QUESTION 2

(90 marks)

A ready-mix concrete supplier delivers by truck to a dam site. Each truck is specified as containing 4800 + or – 50 kg. The supplier is concerned that his automatic concrete dispenser may not be capable of working to such a tight tolerance and that some trucks may contain less than the specified laod. The supplier has therefore been deliberately dispensing more than 4800 kg per truck.

A recently employed graduate is horrified by such apparent wastage and undertakes an investigation. As a first step, the graduate took a sample of five (5) trucks per day, over a fifteen day period and weighed their loads. The average load and range of each sample of the five trucks is given in the following table.

(i) Calculate the limits for the control charts you would use to assess the operation.

(25 marks)

(ii) Plot the range chart and the average chart.

(30 marks)

(iii) Find the relative precision index and calculate modified limits for the samples averages if warranted. If modified limits are not warranted, state why.

(10 marks)

(iv) Determine whether the process is in, or out, of control and whether or not scrap is being produced. For the purpose of this question, any loads outside the upper or lower tolerances may be considered to be scrap.

(20 marks)

(v) Advise the manager what action, if any, should be taken to improve the situation.

(5 marks)

QUESTION 3

(65 marks)

The Luxuries Company makes canoe paddles to serve distribution centres in Warwick, Toowoomba and Ipswich from existing plants in Dalby and Kingsthrope. Luxuries is considering locating a plant near Oakey. Annual capacity in the plant is shown in the right-hand column, while annual demand is shown in the bottom row of the Table below. Transportation costs per paddle are shown in the small boxes. For example the cost to ship one paddle from Dalby to Warwick is $4.37.

 

Source	Destination			Capacity
	Warwick	Toowoomba	Ipswich
Dalby	$4.37	$4.25	$4.89	12 000
	4 000		8 000
Kingsthorpe	$4.00	$5.00	$5.27	10 000
	2 000	4 000	4 000

		18 000
Demand	6 000	22 000	12 000	40 000

What is the optimum transportation plan to minimise delivery costs and what is the minimum total cost to Luxuries.

Please note you must find solutions via iterations and not just listing the final result from using a spreadsheet or software solution.

1. In his Oration on the Dignity of Man, what did Pico della Mirandola argue that human beings
are free to become? What did he believe is the source of human freedom and what did he regard
as the noblest goal of that freedom? Based on your reading of The Bondage of the Will, and from
what you have learned in class and from the textbook, what specific similarities and differences
do you find between Pico’s understanding of human nature and Martin Luther’s?
2. Based on what you have read in Leviathan and in the textbook, and on what you have learned
in class, what specific similarities and differences do you find between Thomas Hobbes’s view
of human nature and those of Pico and Luther
Please note that these questions do not ask you to say with which of these figures you agree or
disagree.

Topic II: Kant, Descartes, and Thomas Aquinas
1. In What Is Enlightenment? how did Immanuel Kant define “enlightenment”? How did he
believe that human beings could best achieve enlightenment? What did he argue was the
greatest obstacle to enlightenment and how confident was he that it could be overcome? Based
on what you have read in the Discourse on Method and on what you have learned in class and
from the textbook, what specific similarities and differences do you find between Kant’s
approach to the truth and Descartes’?
2. Based on what you have read in his Summa Contra Gentiles and on what you have read in the
textbook and learned in class, what specific similarities and differences do you find between
how Thomas Aquinas believed truth should be found and the advice offered by Descartes and
Kant?
