As the HIM manager, you have several teams that report to you, including; coding, release of information, and scanning. Below you will find some information on each team based on recent audits. Research and locate AHIMA’s productivity benchmarking standards to assist in completing the assignment.

A productivity and accuracy audit recently occurred of the five coders that report to you. Below are the results of the study:

Your department currently receives on the average 300 charts per day. Your facility compliance guidelines state that coders should maintain at least a 95% accuracy rate. Using the audit results, AHIMA’s benchmarking standard, and compliance guidelines, develop feedback for each of the coders.

Your feedback to each coder should be positive and comprehensive. Feedback must address at least productivity, accuracy, and suggestions for improvement. During this process, the department director has asked you to evaluate if you have enough staff to maintain the workload and to make recommendations for a change in staffing if necessary. Develop a proposal for staffing change if necessary.

On March 1, 1974, a grand jury indicted seven former aides to U.S. President Richard Nixon for attempting to cover up White House involvement in a burglary of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate complex in Washington. On April 18, the judge in the case, John Sirica, issued a subpoena for tapes of President Nixon’s conversations with the defendants. The President’s attorney, James St. Clair, attempted to delay responding to the subpoena. The prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, then used an unusual procedure to appeal directly to the Supreme Court and request that the Court order the President to supply the tapes. The Court heard oral arguments on July 8, and the justices met on July 9 to decide the case. One justice, William Rehnquist, withdrew from the case, probably because he had worked in President Nixon’s Justice Department. Of the remaining eight justices, six quickly agreed to uphold the prosecutor’s request. Two justices, Warren Burger and Harry Blackmun, were reluctant to uphold the prosecutor’s request, because they thought his direct appeal to the Supreme Court was improper. Also on July 9, President Nixon’s attorney said that the President had “not yet decided” whether he would supply the tapes if the Supreme Court ordered him to. This statement was probably intended to pressure the Court into backing down from the confrontation. At minimum, it was probably intended to encourage some justices to vote against upholding the prosecutor’s request. If the vote was split, the President could argue that it was not sufficiently definitive for a matter of this magnitude. Jaworski believed that in the event of a split vote, the President would “go on television and tell the people that the presidency should not be impaired by a divided Court.” We will regard this as a two-player game. Player 1 is Justices Burger and Blackmun, whom we assume will vote together; we therefore treat them as one player. Player 2 is President Nixon. First, Justices Burger and Blackmun decide how to vote. If they vote to uphold the prosecutor’s request, the result is an 8-0 Supreme Court decision in favor of the prosecutor. If they vote to reject the prosecutor’s request, the result is a 6-2 Supreme Court decision in favor of the prosecutor. After the Supreme Court has rendered its decision, President Nixon decides whether to comply by supplying the tapes, or to defy the decision.

President Nixon’s preferences are as follows: • Best outcome (payoff 4): 6-2 decision, President defies the decision. • Second-best outcome (payoff 3): 6-2 decision, President supplies the tapes. • Third-best outcome (payoff 2): 8-0 decision, President supplies the tapes. • Worst outcome (payoff 1): 8-0 decision, President defies the decision. Explanation: The President’s best outcome is a divided decision that he can defy while claiming the decision is not really definitive. His worst outcome is an 8-0 decision that he then defies; this would probably result in immediate impeachment. As for the two intermediate outcomes, the President is better off with the weaker vote, which should give him some wiggle room. Justices Burger and Blackmun’s preferences are as follows: • Best outcome (payoff 4): 6-2 decision, President supplies the tapes. • Second-best outcome (payoff 3): 8-0 decision, President supplies the tapes. • Third-best outcome (payoff 2): 8-0 decision, President defies the decision. • Worst outcome (payoff 1): 6-2 decision, President defies the decision. Explanation: In their best outcome, Burger and Blackmun get to vote their honest legal opinion that the prosecutor’s direct appeal to the Court was wrong, but a Constitutional crisis is averted because the President complies anyway. In their second-best outcome, they vote dishonestly, but they succeed in averting a major Constitutional crisis. In their third-best outcome, the crisis occurs, but because of the strong 8-0 vote, it will probably quickly end. In the worst outcome, the crisis occurs, and because of the weak vote, it may drag out. In addition, in the last outcome, the President may succeed in establishing the principle that a 6-2 Court decision need not be followed, which no member of the Court wants. 1. Draw an extensive form game tree for the situation described, providing clear labels and payoffs for each player. 2. Use backward induction to make a prediction about the outcome. 3. Find out what actually happened and write a brief summary.

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $23. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable costs are high, totaling $15 per ball, of which 65% is direct labor cost.

Last year, the company sold 30,000 of these balls, with the following results:                

5. Refer to the data in (point 4) above. If the expected change in variable costs takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income $90,000 as last year?

6. Refer again to the data in (point 4) above. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

7. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable costs per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed costs per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company’s new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

8. Refer to the original data. Find the multi-product breakeven point, if the company decides to produce another types of balls (of higher quality) it is expected that the sell at a price of $40 of which 60% is variable cost and no more fixed cost is required. If the company is expecting to have sales at a value of 890,000 of which this new balls would be about 20% of the total sales value. All information related to the original types of balls remains the same.
