You are a new Financial Analyst Director at a manufacturing conglomerate. You were given the responsibility to recommend, to the company's Board of Directors, which of two projects, A & B, to pursue. The team of financial analysts had to put together in a very short period of time a package for each project with the appropriate calculations; a national lockdown due to a worldwide pandemic was going into effect the next day at 10 pm. The Board was meeting the next morning for only one hour, so even under such unfortunate circumstances, the Chairman felt that it was important to make and record a decision about the projects (any number of members could get ill and unable to return to work after the crisis was over). The Board Chairman also felt that it was important to have projects that were already approved in the pipeline once the company was able to reopen; these were the last two projects under consideration.

When you were handed the packets with the calculations one hour before the meeting, you discovered that the calculations for Project A have been done using the profitability index, and the calculations for Project B were done using NPV. There was no time to redo the calculations so you had to make the best possible decision with limited information. The index of profitability for Project A was 1.39, and the NPV for Project B was $187,580.00. Project A will require and initial investment of $8,500,000 and Project B $8,100,000.

What project will you choose and why? Your explanation must include information about the two methods, strengths and weaknesses, and what impact the methods had on your final decision.

Facts

The evidence supported a finding that the plaintiff's descendent had a very good chance of long-term survival if the tumor was found to be malignant at a time when it was less than one centimeter in size. The evidence supports the fact that the tumor had not grown in size as of May 7, 1987. If doctor Figgie had performed a biopsy prior to this date cancer would not have Metastasized Anne the descendent would have been recovered. Doctor Figgie’s office chart which is the primary reference material in analyzing a physician's conduct it's filled with contradictions and inconsistencies even if doctor Figgie was first informed up the growth on February 23rd, 1987 he still fell below acceptable standards of care because he did not conduct a further investigation until X-rays performed in September 1987 all handwritten entries which appear on or prior to September 24th, 1987 indicating that it bad biopsy was recommended or that the descendent refused further work up to work subsequent changes of the records done to justify feedings condom. The sentence we will, therefore, elect to continue to observe under September 21st, 1987 entry was white and out and the handwritten entry is she does not want exceptional biopsy we will observe what is a subsequent alteration of the records. ID. At 338 the Court of Appeals upheld the finding of liability against Figgie the wrongful death and survival claims the Court of Appeals found that the appellate was not entitled to punitive damages as a matter of law the Court of Appeals revised the judgment of that route as to the award of damages and recommended the case for a new trial only on the issue of compensatory damages.

Issue

Is an intentional alteration or destruction of medical records to avoid liability sufficient to show actual malice? Can punitive damages be awarded regardless of whether the act of altering or destroying records directly causes compensable harm?

Holding

The Ohio Supreme Court held that the evidence regarding the physician's alteration of the patient's records supported an award of punitive damages regardless of whether the alteration causes actual harm.

Reason

The intentional alteration or destruction of medical records to avoid liability for medical neglect negligence is sufficient to show actual malice punitive damage may be awarded regardless of whether the active altering falsifying or destroying records directly causes compensable harm. the jury's award of punitive damages was based on Figgie's alteration or destruction of medical records. The purpose of punitive damages is not to compensate a plaintiff but to punish and deter certain conduct the court warned others to refrain from similar conduct through an award of punitive damages Figgie’s alteration of records exhibited at the total disregard for the law and the rights of MOSKOBITZ and her family had the copy of page 7 of Figgie's office chart had been recovered from the radiation Department records at University Hospital the appellate would have been substantially less likely to succeed in this case. The copy of the chart other records produced by Figgie would have tended 2 exculpate feeding for his medical negligence while placing the blame for his failures on MOSKOVITZ.
