1. Evaluating IMPACT (Level 5 – Evaluating)

As patients continue their recovery, post-acute care (PAC) safely transitions them out of the acute-care hospital. There are four PAC settings: skilled nursing facilities (SNF), long-term care hospitals (LTCHs), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), home health agencies (HHAs).

Patients in these settings have similar conditions, such as strokes and hip replacements. However, Medicare pays different prices depending upon the setting (Medicare Payment Advisory Commission 2014, 171). For a patient’s continued recovery and optimal outcome, does the choice of PAC setting matter? Two sets of researchers investigated this question. One set investigated the functional recovery for patients who had had a stroke (Chan et al. 2013).   Another set investigated the functional recovery for patients who had had a hip fracture repaired (Mallinson et al. 2014).

Chan and colleagues performed a long-term study on 222 patients who had had a stroke. The patients had received care from four different acute care hospitals in one integrated delivery system (IDS). The patients also received their postacute care from settings in the IDS. The IDS offered three types of PAC settings: SNF, IRF, and HHA. In addition, patients could receive out-patient care in the IDS. The researchers used a standardized instrument, the Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC), to determine the patients’ functional status. The researchers scored the patients functional status twice: first immediately upon discharge from the acute care hospital and second six months after discharge and after receiving postacute care. The researchers’ results showed:

  • Patients who received their postacute care in an IRF had at least eight-point higher improvements in mobility, self-care, and cognition, than patients who received their postacute care in a SNF.
  • Patients who received their postacute care in an IRF also had statistically significant improvements in Applied Cognition compared to those patients who only received home health combined with outpatient services.

Chan and colleagues concluded that “patients with a stroke may make more functional gains if they receive some of their postacute care in an IRF compared to other sites” (Chan et al. 2013, 629). Deutsch’s commentary on the research of Chan and colleagues noted that comparing outcomes across postacute care is difficult because the PAC sites use different data sets (2013, 631-632).

            Mallinson and colleagues investigated the outcomes of patients after hip fracture repair. Facilities from three types of PAC settings participated in the research. Eventually, the researchers reviewed the care of 181 patients at 18 PAC providers. These PAC providers were four IRFs, six SNFs, and eight HHAs. After being trained on the data collection instrument, nurses at each site collected data using the IF functional independence measure (FIM). The researchers’ results showed, controlling for patients’ characteristics, severity, comorbidities, and services:

  • IRF and HHA patients had lower self-care function at discharge relative to SNF patients
  • HHA patients had, on average, a two-week longer length of stay than SNF patients
  • SNF patients had, on average, a nine-day longer length of stay and IRF patients

Mallinson and colleagues concluded that outcomes varied among settings “depending upon whether self-care or mobility was the outcome of focus” (Mallinson et al. 2014, 209).

DeJong’s commentary on the research of Mallinson and colleagues noted that the absence of a common PAC patient assessment instrument requires workarounds (2014). Researchers can use a site-neutral instrument, such as the AM-PAC or they can use an existing PAC-site-specific instrument. Both workarounds require training on the instrument for all or some of the data collectors and require special data collection outside of routine procedures.

Questions

1.  List the data collection instrument for PAC settings discussed in the case

2.   What PAC setting is missing from the previously described research investigations? What is that setting’s data collection instrument?

3.   Both Deutsch and DeJong note problems caused by the lack of a common data set across PAC settings. How has Congress addressed this problem?

4.   Workarounds require special training and special data collection outside routine procedures. Why are these workarounds a problem for researchers? Does Congress’ solution address this problem?

5.   How could you or your family benefit from a common data collection instrument across PAC settings?

The following balance sheet is for a local partnership in which the partners have become very unhappy with each other. Cash $ 51,000 Liabilities $ 41,000 Land 185,000 Adams, capital 118,000 Building 175,000 Baker, capital 42,000 Carvil, capital 82,000 Dobbs, capital 128,000 Total assets $ 411,000 Total liabilities and capital $ 411,000 To avoid more conflict, the partners have decided to cease operations and sell all assets. Using this information, answer the following questions. Each question should be viewed as an independent situation related to the partnership’s liquidation. The $10,000 cash that exceeds the partnership liabilities is to be disbursed immediately. If profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 2:3:3:2 basis, respectively, how will the $10,000 be divided? The $10,000 cash that exceeds the partnership liabilities is to be disbursed immediately. If profits and losses are allocated on a 2:2:3:3 basis, respectively, how will the $10,000 be divided? The building is immediately sold for $96,000 to give total cash of $147,000. The liabilities are then paid, leaving a cash balance of $106,000. This cash is to be distributed to the partners. How much of this money will each partner receive if profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 1:3:3:3 basis, respectively? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Assume that profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 1:3:4:2 basis, respectively. How much money must the firm receive from selling the land and building to ensure that Carvil receives a portion?

Alberta Gauge Company, Ltd., a small manufacturing company in Calgary, Alberta, manufactures three types of electrical gauges used in a variety of machinery. For many years the company has been profitable and has operated at capacity. However, in the last two years, prices on all gauges were reduced and selling expenses increased to meet competition and keep the plant operating at capacity. Second-quarter results for the current year, which follow, typify recent experience.

  

ALBERTA GAUGE COMPANY, LTD.
Income Statement
Second Quarter
(in thousands)
Q-Gauge E-Gauge R-Gauge Total
Sales $ 6,624 $ 4,368 $ 4,092 $ 15,084
Cost of goods sold 4,339 3,738 4,319 12,396
Gross margin $ 2,285 $ 630 $ (227 ) $ 2,688
Selling and administrative expenses 1,532 898 614 3,044
Income before taxes $ 753 $ (268 ) $ (841 ) $ (356 )

  

Alice Carlo, the company’s president, is concerned about the results of the pricing, selling, and production prices. After reviewing the second-quarter results, she asked her management staff to consider the following three suggestions:

  • Discontinue the R-gauge line immediately. R-gauges would not be returned to the product line unless the problems with the gauge can be identified and resolved.
  • Increase quarterly sales promotion by $420,000 on the Q-gauge product line in order to increase sales volume by 15 percent.
  • Cut production on the E-gauge line by 50 percent, and cut the traceable advertising and promotion for this line to $120,000 each quarter.

Jason Sperry, the controller, suggested a more careful study of the financial relationships to determine the possible effects on the company’s operating results of the president’s proposed course of action. The president agreed and assigned JoAnn Brower, the assistant controller, to prepare an analysis. Brower has gathered the following information.

  • All three gauges are manufactured with common equipment and facilities.
  • The selling and administrative expense is allocated to the three gauge lines based on average sales volume over the past three years.
  • Special selling expenses (primarily advertising, promotion, and shipping) are incurred for each gauge as follows:
Quarterly Advertising
and Promotion
Shipping Expenses
Q-gauge $ 750,000 $ 42 per unit
E-gauge 420,000 24 per unit
R-gauge 240,000 90 per unit
  • The unit manufacturing costs for the three products are as follows:
Q-Gauge E-Gauge R-Gauge
Direct material $ 105.00 $ 63.00 $ 162.00
Direct labor 144.00 84.00 204.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 159.00 114.00 204.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 63.63 72.75 126.61
Total $ 471.63 $ 333.75 $ 696.61
  • The unit sales prices for the three products are as follows:
Q-gauge $ 720
E-gauge 390
R-gauge 660
  • The company is manufacturing at capacity and is selling all the gauges it produces.

Required:

  1. 2. Use the operating data presented for Alberta Gauge Company and assume that the president’s proposed course of action had been implemented at the beginning of the second quarter.

  2. a. Calculate the net impact on income before taxes for each of the three suggestions.

  3. b-1. Calculate contribution margin for R-gauge

  4. b-2. Was the president correct in proposing that the R-gauge line be eliminated?

  5. c-1. Calculate the contribution per direct-labor dollar for Q-gauge and E-gauge.

  6. c-2. Was the president correct in promoting the Q-gauge line rather than the E-gauge line?
