Health care managers are responsible for identifying staffing needs, including reductions and additions to their teams. There are two parts to this assignment:
Scenario 1 will challenge you to determine if a new hire is a viable option.
Scenario 2 will give you the opportunity to “sell” your open position to an applicant.
Both of these scenarios are based in statistics. Your responses should reflect a careful analysis of the statistical principles involved.
Evaluation Title: Staffing Needs
Scenario 1: Staffing a Coding Business
You are the manager of a small coding business that contracts with physicians. The owner of your business has asked you to evaluate if adding another coder will help increase revenue and efficiency. You currently employ two coders, with annual salaries of $40,000 and $36,000. They each code an average of 6,500 records per person, per year. You are able to provide some training to a novice coder, therefore, you are open to interviewing applicants who code less than 6,500 records per year for this additional position.
Scenario 2: Case Mix for Hiring a New Physician
You are a manager responsible for hiring a new hospital physician. You have several qualified applicants, ready to be interviewed.
Note: The assignment submission should include a minimum of 3 references overall.
1. The factors you should consider regarding adding a new coder to the business are :-
- if he does more work at less pay
- to increase the revenue
-to increase the productivity
- if the current working staffs are inefficient
2. The maximum annual salary to be paid to a newly hired employee annually who have no experience is 7048 $ and to a experienced one is 11277 $ .
3. This additional hire was done specifically to increase the revenue ,and productivity . So the number of records done by the new hired employee is an important matter and should record at least 7500 per year to make it a smart business decision .
