Use the following data to work Problems 1 to 4:

The following events have occurred in the history of the United States:

• A deep recession hits the world economy.
• The world oil price rises sharply.

Explain the separate effects of each event on U.S. real GDP and the price level, starting from a position of long-run equilibrium

8. Nominal and real wages have increased over time in the U.S. How fast will your nominal wage increase if you receive an increase each year that is comparable to what has occurred on average since 1929? About how long will it take the purchasing power of your wage to double if your real wage increases at the average rate experienced in the U.S. since 1929?

The following is market information: Current spot rate of pound = $1.23 90-day forward rate of pound = $1.24 3-month deposit rate in U.S. = 1.1% 3-month deposit rate in Great Britain = 1.3% If you have $250,000 and use covered interest arbitrage for a 90-day investment, what will be the amount of U.S. dollars you will have after 90 days?

Part 2 - Scenario:

You are the manager of a hospital’s ER unit. Your CEO has heard that people have been criticizing the hospital’s wait time for ER services. Your CEO has asked you to present information on wait times at the ER to the hospital board of trustees and administrators. You requested data from your IT team on the wait times for recent ER visits (that is the data included in the excel sheet). Following the question prompts below, answer each of these questions to prepare a report that communicates your finding to your CEO, interprets the findings, and discussed the implications of the findings.

• Purpose: Identify the purpose of the analysis in this section. What questions do you hope to answer?
• Importance: State and explain the importance of this analysis to the department/organization. How will the findings be used?
• Methodology: State the statistical method used in this section.
• Findings: Copy and Paste all relevant output from Excel into this section (decide which output you think is relevant to include such as tables and charts). State your major findings from the included tables/charts.
• Interpretations/Implications: Discuss what the department/organization needs to do based on the findings.

Sexual Harrassment

The question posted by Chourok C on the Yahoo! Answers web page begins this way: I just started this job 2 weeks ago as the CEO’s personal assistant. He is married 3x and is a very charismatic man, the CEO of a self-built multi-million empire. After a few days, he suddenly asked me if he could take me out to diner in London, if I book my flights and hotel he will afterwards reimburse me. [1] It was then, she relates, that she knew he wanted to sleep with her. In her words, she’s “totally not interested, but wants to preserve the job by not rejecting him.” So she made an excuse to get out of it and her post continues: “He then bothered me for hours about giving him good reasons why I couldn’t go. Then he said OK, next week we will go to Milan! He is a very powerful man, and I just get nervous of him. But I really do not want to lose my job. What should I do?” [2]

Case Study 2 Questions

4.The poster called Srta. Argentina answers, “He can’t fire you because you rejected his sexual advances. You can sue him if he does. And you can file a sexual harassment claim against him.” [4]

-Sketch the harassment case against the CEO.

-If the CEO hired you to form an ethical defense of his behavior, what would the case look like?

6.Ethically, is there any difference between the boss threatening to fire her unless he gets what he wants and her threatening to turn him in unless she gets what she wants? If so, what is it? If not, why not?

An area hospital adopted a commercial Electronic Health Record and plans on adopting and integrating a Personal Health Record (PHR). The hospital CEO drafts the following vision statement “By using the latest technology, our hospital will improve how our patients experiences and engagement in their healthcare. Instead of patients coming to us for help, we will be there wherever and whenever they need us, asking, “How can we help you?” This initiative will make healthcare easier to access and more convenient to use, improve patients’ health, and reduce the rising cost of healthcare in our area.”

You are the Chief Health Informatics Officer and the CEO is seeking your input. The CEO asks you to prepare a response to this vision statement.

In your response include discussion about pros (at least 3) and cons (at least 3) of using a PHR. Consider the shifting demographics and discuss whether you think older adults (65+ years old) are receptive to using PHRs and social media and why (support your stance with scholarly evidence). Explain how social media data could be beneficial in the context of patient care or population health (in about 1 paragraph). Describe how patient-centered care is facilitated by using the PHR (at least1 paragraph). Lets shift gears and now think about the impact remote home monitoring could have on older adults. Describe one pro and one con of using remote home monitoring with this population.

PHR pros and cons - 3 points
Are older adults receptive to PHRs and social media - convincing argument - 5 points
Social media data in patient care or population health - 3 points
Patient-centered care - 5 points
Remote home monitoring - pros and cons - 2 points
