A newsgroup is interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of Texans and New Yorkers who favor a new Green initiative. Of the 582 randomly selected Texans surveyed, 428 were in favor of the initiative and of the 569 randomly selected New Yorkers surveyed, 456 were in favor of the initiative.

. With 90% confidence the difference in the proportions of Texans and New Yorkers who favor a new Green initiative is between (round to 3 decimal places) and (round to 3 decimal places).

b. If many groups of 582 randomly selected Texans and 569 randomly selected New Yorkers were surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of the difference in the proportions of Texans and New Yorkers who favor a new Green initiative and about percent will not contain the true population difference in proportions.

a) Change the right-hand-side value of one of the constraints. Be sure that, the updated
tableau is infeasible, and you are applying Dual Simplex Method. (Find a change that will
make the new tableau infeasible.)
b) Change the objective function coefficient of one of the decision variables. Be sure that,
the updated tableau is non-optimal, and you are applying Simplex Method. (Find a
change that will make the new tableau non-optimal.)
c) Find the validity range for one of the constraint’s right-hand-side value.
d) Find the optimality range for one of the decision variable’s objective function coefficient.
e) Add a new ≥ constraint into the model. Be sure that, the new constraint is not satisfied by
the current optimal solution and you are applying Dual Simplex Method. (Add a ≥
constraint that will make the new tableau infeasible.)
f) Add a new decision variable into the model. Be sure that, the new tableau is non-optimal,
and you are applying Simplex Method. (Add a new decision variable that will make the
new tableau non-optimal.)

Background Information Langley Mason Health (LMH) is located in North Reno County, the largest public health care district in the state of Nevada, serving an 850 square mile area encompassing seven distinctly different communities. The health district was founded in 1937 by a registered nurse and dietician who opened a small medical facility on a former poultry farm. Today the health system comprises Langley Medical Center, a 317-bed tertiary medical center and level II trauma center; Mason Hospital, a 107-bed community hospital; and Mason Continuing Care Center and Villa Langley, two part-skilled nursing facilities (SNFs); a home care division; an ambulatory surgery center; and an outpatient behavioral medicine center. In anticipation of expected population growth in North Reno County and to meet the state-mandated seismic requirements, LMG developed an aggressive facilities master plan (FMP) that includes plans to build a state-of-the-art 453-bed replacement hospital for its Langley Medical Center campus, double the size of its Mason Hospital, and build satellite clinics in four of its outlying communities. The cost associated with actualizing this FMP is estimated to be $1 billion. Several years ago, LMH undertook and successfully passed the largest health care bond measure in the state's history and in so doing, secure $496 million in general obligation bonds to help fund its massive facilities expansion project. The remaining funds must come from revenue bonds, growth strategies, philanthropic efforts, and strong operational performance over the next ten years. Additionally, $5 million of routine capital funds will be diverted every fiscal year for the next five years to help offset the huge capital outlay that will be necessary to equip the new facilities. That leaves LMH with only $10 million per year to spend on routine maintenance, equipment, and technology for all its facilities. LMH is committed to patient safety and is building what the leadership team hopes will be one of the safest hospital-of-the-future facilities. The challenge is to provide for patient safety and safe medication practices given the minimal capital dollars available to spend today. LMH developed an IT strategic plan in late 2010, with the following ten goals identified: empower health consumers and physicians transform data into information support the expansion of clinical services expand e-business opportunities realize the benefits of innovation maximize the value of IT improve project outcomes prepare for the unexpected deploy a robust and agile technical architecture digitally enable new facilities, including the new hospital Information Systems Challenge LMH has implemented Phase I - an enterprise-wide EHR system developed by Cerner Corporation in 2008 at a cost of $20 million. Phase 2 of the project is to implement computerized provider order entry (CPOE) with decision-support capabilities. This phase was to have been completed in 2010, but has been delayed due to the many challenges associated with Phase 1, which still must be stabilized and optimized. LMH does have a fully automated pharmacy information system, albeit older technology, and Pyxis medication-dispensing systems on all units in the acute care hospitals. Computerized discharge prescriptions and instructions are available only for patients seen and discharged from the LMH emergency departments. Currently, the pharmacy and nursing staff at LMH have been working closely on the selection of a smart IV pump to replace all of the health system's aging pumps and have put forth a proposal to spend $4.9 million in the fiscal year beginning July 2018. Smart pumps have been shown to significantly reduce medication administration errors, thus reducing patient harm. This expenditure would consume roughly half of all the available capital dollars for that fiscal year. The chief information officer, Marilyn Moore, PhD, understands the pharmacists; and nurses' desire to purchase smart IV pumps but believes the implementation of this technology should not be considered in isolation. She sees the smart pumps as one facet of an overall medication management capital purchase and patient safety strategic plan. Dr. Moore suggest that the pharmacy and nursing leadership team lead a medication management strategic planning process and evaluate a suite of available technologies that taken together could optimize medication safety (for example, CPOE, electronic medication administration records (e-mar), robots, automated pharmacy systems, bar coding, computerized discharge prescriptions and instructions, and smart IV pumps), the costs associated with implementing these technologies, and the organization's readiness to embrace these technologies. Paul Robinson, PharmD, the director of pharmacy, appreciates Dr. Moore's suggestion but feels that smart IV pumps are critical to patient safety and that LMH doesn't have time to go through a long, drawn-out planning process that could take years to implement and the process of gaining board support. Others argue that all new proposals should be placed on hold until CPOE is up and running. They argue there are too many other pressing issues at hand to invest in yet another new technology.

Case Study Questions:

1. Describe the current situation as you see it. What are the major issues in this case?

2. Marilyn Moore, CIO, and Paul Robinson, director of pharmacy, have different views of how LMH should proceed. What are the pros and cons of their respective approaches? Which approach, if either, seems like an appropriate course of action to you? Explain your rationale.

Case 7: Case Problem 5, p. 1088 (Mallor 16^th Ed. Chap 41): MeadWestvaco Corp. v. Ill. Dept. of Rev., 128 S.Ct. 1498 (2008).

Mead Corporation, an Ohio corporation in the business of producing and selling paper, packaging, and school and office supplies, also owned Lexis/Nexis, the electronic research service. Either as a separate subsidiary or as a division of Mead, Lexis was subject to Mead's oversight, but Mead did not manage its day-to-day affairs. Mead was headquartered in Ohio, while a separate management team ran Lexis out of its headquarters in Illinois. The two businesses maintained separate manufacturing, sales, and distribution facilities, as well as separate accounting, legal, human resources, credit and collections, purchasing, and marketing departments. Mead's involvement was generally limited to approving Lexis's annual business plan and any significant corporate transactions that Lexis wished to undertake. Mead managed Lexis's free cash, which was swept nightly from Lexis's bank accounts into an account maintained by Mead. The cash was reinvested in Lexis's business, but Mead decided how to invest it. Neither business was required to purchase goods or services from the other. Lexis, for example, was not required to purchase its paper supply from Mead and in fact purchased most of its paper from other suppliers. Neither received any discount on goods or services purchased from the other, and neither was a significant customer of the other. In 1994, Mead sold Lexis for $1.5 billion, realizing a capital gain of over $1 billion. Mead did not report any of this gain as business income on its 1994 Illinois tax return, taking the position that it was nonbusiness income and should be allocated entirely to Mead's domestic state, Ohio.

Thank goodness! The day is almost over at Gimme & Aye… or so you thought. You have been interning at the Law Offices of Gimme and Aye for the summer, and you have been exposed to many legal issues. The hours have been long, but rewarding. As you daydream about your upcoming weekend, Bob busts into the office. Bob’s reputation precedes him. He has a track record of getting himself into trouble. Jim, the boss, flags you over. Jim: “I know Bob got himself into trouble again. Take his statement, ask questions as you need, then come back to me for further instructions.” You sit with Bob to take his statement. You: “Hello Bob, I am here to take your statement.” Bob: “Hi there, I may have gotten myself into trouble. I am out on bail. I came straight here as soon as I could.” You: “Do you know why you were arrested?” Bob: “They said something about a RICO violation. Then they brought a few other things that I had done, and yada yada, bla bla” You: “Well why don’t you take it from the top, so that we can analyze this better?” Bob: “Okay, Here is goes. I worked at the Bait shop for about a year and half. Everything was going well in the beginning. I handled the financing, and other money stuff, while the other employees handled the other customer-facing parts of the business. “ “Then one day, I found out how much the business owner was making. Then I compared it to how much I was making. It made my blood boil. So, I starting to move the money around to that I could take a little extra for myself. The business owner never found out until recently.” “Then, the business owner, went and opened another store across town. He then sold to me the original store. So, I thought to myself, ‘what am I going do with this store? I would rather just have some money.’ And that is when it hit me. If there was ‘an accident’, then I could just collect on the insurance money. So I struck a match, dropped it, and let the place burn to ground.” “I was okay with what I did, but I thought now I have the money that I took when I handled financing, and the insurance payout – I am going to have to do something with this money to make it legit. So, I invested it in a coffee shop that was one town over.” “I am not sure how the law caught up with me, but they did, and they keep talking out RICO. I don’t have much else to tell you.” You: “Okay think that is all that I need to get started. Thank you.” Bob leaves, and you report back to Jim. Jim: “At first glance, this is a RICO violation. For your report I will need the following:” (Answer the following question using fact pattern above and the information found in Chapter 7) 1. There two steps to proving a RICO case, so explain what they are. 2. Fully explain Bob’s actions (including the correct crimes and definitions) , and explain how it all fits into the two steps of RICO. 3. I will need a minimum of three Paragraphs for your report. Also write in complete sentences and DO NOT uses lists.
