Your committee’s charge is to investigate a concern presented by the state health department, which maintains registries for most infectious diseases. Review of these registries revealed that over the past five years, 16 cases of acute hepatitis virus infection had a commonality: 16 patients had visited the same hospital based medical practice, South Suburban Hospital, before the onset of the infection. The state health department conducted an investigation, consisting of the collection of blood samples from healthcare personnel coupled with a series of comprehensive interviews. Results of the investigation indicated the following: none of the healthcare personnel had a history of acute hepatitis or HBV immunizations. The state health department conducted an investigation, consisting of the collection of blood samples from healthcare personnel coupled with a series of comprehensive interviews. Results of the investigation indicated the following: none of the healthcare personnel had a history of acute hepatitis or HBV immunization, and to physician dermatologist had a negative HBV surface antigen test but positive HBV surface antibody tests, which indicated that the physicians had been exposed to HBV. Further investigation revealed that these two physicians had seen 15,000 patients over the five-year study. The majority of these patients were white, female, and over the age of 50 years.
Based on this study what is the incidence rate for HBV?
Index case. Due to the lack of highly detailed data, it may not be possible to identify the index case with certainty. Still, there is a very limited number of possibilities. Describe the possibilities, and what implications come with each being identified as the index case.
What is the hospital’s plan to ensure the future outbreaks will not occur?
Before investigating the outbreak and searching for answers to the questions posted by the State Health Department, what preliminary question must be answered by your committee?

Introduction
A business plan is a written document that describes your business,
its objectives
and strategies, the market you are targeting and your financial
forecast. It is
important to have a business plan because it helps you set
realistic goals, secure
external funding, measure your success, clarify operational
requirements and
establish reasonable financial forecasts. Preparing your plan will
also help you focus
on how to operate your new business and give it the best chance for
success.
Securing financial assistance to start your new business will be
directly related to the
strength of your business plan. To be considered a viable candidate
to receive funds
from a financial institutions or investors, you must demonstrate
that you understand
every aspect of your business, and its ability to generate
profit.
A business plan is more than just something to show lenders and
investors; it is also
necessary to help you plan for the growth and progress of your
business. Your
business’s success can depend on your plans for the future.
Listed below are examples of questions to ask you when writing your
business plan:
• How will I generate a profit?
• How will I run the business if sales are low or if profits are
down?
• Who is my competition, and how will you co-exist?
• Who is my target market?
You are required to write a Business Plan Report and you are
advised to follow the
below given outline. To make the best impression, a business plan
should follow a
convention structure, such as the outline shown below.
Cover page
Table of contents
1. Executive Summary
• A succinct highlight of the overall plan- include ownership
structure, business
address, product/service, the management team and strategy and
strengths.
2. Industry Analysis
• An overview of the industry, including consideration of the
competition, industry
trends, and regulatory bodies.
3. Definition of the Business
• Explanation of the business concept, the current offering and the
projected
growth.
4. Purpose of the Business Plan
• Dominant reason for the preparation of the business plan.
5. Business Feasibility
• Analysis of the demand (include highlights of the findings of the
market
feasibility study), risk (include business and market risks),
environmental
impact.
6. Justification of the Business

working capital
requirements, cash budget over three years (estimation of the cash
inflows
and outflows).
11. Appendices

prospective
suppliers and clients, samples of product design, labels,
promotional
campaigns, floor plan and legal documents (where possible)
12. References

Guidelines writing business plan
1. All work must be submitted in English.
2. Please use the same format for completing the final project
report:
a. Use A4 size paper and leave at least 40 mm for the left-hand
margin and about
25 mm for the right-hand margin. Also leave about 40 mm at the top
and 25
mm at the bottom of each sheet.
b. Font is Arial and font size 12.
c. Paragraph spacing 1.5.
d. Number each sheet at the bottom. As you write, make
cross-references by
section rather than by pages. Page numbers may change later. If you
wish to
refer to the page numbers in the text, do so only after you have
the final
version of the report.
e. Sections and subsections should be numbered for reference, but
avoid
cumbersome sub-sub-section numbering such as 4.2.3.6. To keep
the
contents, list short, include only numbered headings. There is
probably no
need to exceed two digit numbers, such as 4.2 or 3.4.
f. Headings should be used at the beginning of sections and
anywhere else
necessary. Carefully selected headings make the report clearer and
will avoid
confusing the reader. They should be distinguished by a change of
font or size,
or may be underlined in the report.
g. Tables should be used to present information concisely where
graphs or
histograms are not appropriate. In setting out tables, arrange the
data so that
there are more rows than columns and use a minimum of horizontal
lines.
Table headings should follow the section number (e.g., in Section
1, Table 1.1,
1.2, 1.3 ...) in the order in which they are mentioned. They can
then be referred
to in the text by number only (e.g., Table 1.1). Place the tables
in the text near
to where they are first referred to. If you use a very large number
of tables,
they may be more conveniently placed at the end of the report or
you may
want to put them in the appendix.
h. Equations should be numbered by section (e.g., in Section 2,
Equation 2.3, 2.7
...). You may need to show an equation in the financial projection
section. This
ensures that if one is deleted or if you need to refer to an
equation that you
have not previously numbered, only those in that particular section
need to be
re-numbered. Keep the number to the right margin of the page. Check
all
references to equations in the text when editing your final
draft.
i. Graphs, histograms, drawings, diagrams and photographs should
all be
referred to as figures: Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, and so on. If the
size of the
figures is small, you may put two on one page. Insert a caption for
each figure.
Place the figures in the text next to where they are first
mentioned. Keep the
labelling inside the figures to a minimum using letters,
abbreviations and
symbols; avoid phrases. Use the figure caption to explain the
details. For
example, different curves on a graph may be labelled A, B, C and so
on and
each can then be identified in the caption. Check all references to
figures in the
text and any information you quote from within the details of the
figure.
j. You may use different colours between curves or parts of a
diagram.

Excel can provide data analysis when you need to evaluate multiple conditions within one formula. One such example includes using nested statements. Someone might attempt to explain nested statements to a friend by giving the example of a Russian nesting doll, wherein different pieces of the function fit together to create one formula that yields a specific result.
There is a learning principal that states that being able to explain a topic to someone using non technical terms or an analogy demonstrates a true understanding of that topic. With that being said, share with the class how you would explain the function COUNTA to someone who is unfamiliar with Excel. Try not to explain how it works in Excel technically or how to perform the function, but relate it to something that can be easily understood, like the aforementioned Russian nesting doll analogy. Be creative and have fun!

Scenario The following chart displays the results of the first year’s production of a new electric-car produced by Sleek Motors. The table was created from data supplied by the company’s entire production department managed by Isaac Newton, as a means of controlling production output. You recently joined the production department as a quality assurance associate after grading with a degree in business. Your manager, Tomas has asked you to do an analysis of the first year's production results. Tomas indicated that this information will be used by the Vice President in his evaluation of areas of improvement, change, or processes used by the production department in the production of the mini-car. The company aims for the highest possible quality products for consumers. The chart below describes the standards set by the department and the results for each branch of Sleek Motors. A comparison of the standard to the results allows the reader to form conclusions about the success or failure of the production department to meet the goals envisioned by the company. It also allows the reader to recognize patterns from the data from which conclusions can be drawn as to the relationship between elements (e.g. cost expended vs time expended; those who spent more time had a higher cost).
