[order_calculator]Pathology Business Case in Australia
Business Case Essay No. 2:
Purpose: ‘Pathology is now a big business and medical scientists need to be more broader in focus apart from their clinical speciality areas’. This exercise is to teach you life skills on how to go about writing a business case that you could apply in your personal situation and in the context of a pathology environment.
Structure of a Business case:
Executive summary: Should include statements about what this business case is covering and the current state of pathology testing ie: keeping up with emerging demands as an example.
-What were the key findings of your business case?
-What was the financial viability of the business case?
-When would the proposal be profitable and break even point?
-Should it be implemented in the context of your proposal?
-What are the key recommendations?
Background:
-Pathology services play a key role in the diagnosis and management of diseases.
-The key business drivers are economic.
-Profitability relies on high throughput (automation) and minimal labour.
-Looking for opportunities to broaden the pathology service in the context of the patient population.
-You need to think about your hospital organisation: What is your patient population that requires pathology testing?
-What tests is your service going to offer and why?
Ie: Molecular genetic tests need to be justified based upon patient population, demand, disease entities.
Ie: ICU lab Biochemistry testing: What patient populations are in ICU? What type of Biochemistry tests would be required for these patients? This would then assist you determining type of analyser/s to be selected, range of tests and volume of tests to be analysed. You would also think about staffing.
SWOT analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
Situational and Problem Statement:
-What is the current pathology service status?
-Are their any problems that can be addressed in the business case?
Ie: Turnaround time for ICU samples if you need to wait for results from central laboratory,
Ie: molecular genetic testing: If the samples are sent to an outside external laboratory-delay in testing and retrieval of results etc.
-Opportunities for development and growth.
Project Description:
-Outline the scope of the project.
Ie: What tests would be offered in the context of which diseases?
-Consider implementation phase: What major components would you need to consider: Staffing, purchasing and installation of equipment, documentation and training, testing and validation, IT and LIS, accreditation of service.
Solution Description:
-Turnaround time effects
-Control of quality
-Frequency of testing
-Staff development-Building of expertise and reputation
-May produce substantial cost savings.
Cost Benefit Analysis:
Income versus expenditure over time (5 years).
-Test income based upon current costs and MBS rebate for the proposed tests you are offering. The number of samples per day per test charged at 100% MBS rate.
-Costs: Major set up costs: equipment and labour.
-Consumables-Kits
-Accreditation
-Maintenance
-QC and QA
-Testing and Validation
-LIS and IT
Need to indicate profit/loss each year and point at which it breaks even to show where the business case will be financially viable and within what time frame.
Implementation timeline:
Do a GANTT chart of Activity vs Time.
Critical Assumptions and Risk assessment:
-Key assumptions.
-MBS rebate, volume of testing, cost of kits and reagents, cost of maintenance, cost of labour.
-risks of direct competitors that could affect volume of testing.
-risk of rising costs of kits, reagents, maintenance and labour etc.
Conclusions and recommendations:
-What were the considerations of the business case.
-Would it be financial viable and if so in what time frame?
-Would you recommend this business case to your executive
-Would their be cost savings?
-What is your final recommendation?

Assignment Brief
Tata Motors Limited
Tata Motors Limited is India’s largest automobile company and among the top three in passenger vehicles with winning products in the compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments. It is the world’s fourth largest truck and bus manufacturer.
Established in 1945, Tata Motors’ presence indeed cuts across the length and breadth of India. The company’s manufacturing base in India is spread across Jamshedpur (Jharkhand), Pune (Maharashtra), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), Sanand (Gujarat) and Dharwad (Karnataka). Following a strategic alliance with Fiat in 2005, it has set up an industrial joint venture with Fiat Group Automobiles at Ranjangaon (Maharashtra) to produce both Fiat and Tata cars and Fiat powertrains.
Tata Motors is the first company from India’s engineering sector to be listed in the New York Stock Exchange (September, 2004). It has, through its subsidiaries and associate companies, operations in the UK, South Korea, Thailand, Spain and South Africa. The company’s commercial and passenger vehicles are also being marketed in several countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, South Asia, CIS, Russia and South America.
With over 4,500 engineers and scientists, the company’s Engineering Research Centre, established in 1966, has enabled pioneering technologies and products.

DIRECTIONS: PLEASE REFER TO GRADING RUBRIC CRITERIA BELOW FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT!
There are two (2) parts of this assignment, you will develop an in-depth understanding of Testicular Cancer using APA formatting AND develop a flow diagram based on a Clinical Case Study.
Title Page
2nd Page = Abstract
Citations
Reference list (a minimum of 5 current references) Also included in this assignment, you will analyze a patient case study with Testicular Cancer as your paper and develop a concept map or flow diagram = conceptual diagram
The specific case can be actual or fictional. The case study analysis should include a description of the case, probable signs and symptoms displayed by a patient with this disease process, possible complications, and diagnostic tests which would be indicated with expected results. Next, thoroughly describe medical and nursing treatment, including a nursing care plan with comprehensive interventions, client-centered outcomes and evaluation. Your presentation should focus on information the practicing clinical nurse needs to know to provide appropriate care for a patient experiencing this disease process or condition.
A flow diagram shows pathophysiological relationships regarding the disease process, antecedents, actions, clinical manifestations, and nursing diagnoses (3). Please see below for more information relating to flow diagrams.
Info about Conceptual Diagram:
Conceptual diagrams are useful in studying and learning the relationship between physiological and pathophysiological concepts and the development of clinical manifestations, which then leads to more ease in using the nursing process in caring for patients.
Start with blank paper, and write down everything you know about your patient… color code to relationships, draw lines connecting relationships.
Conceptual diagrams are simple methods of showing relationships (arrows or some other visual representation of cause-effect). This is accomplished through the use of arrows and sequencing events. Information that is usually included is etiology or risk factors, and pathophysiologic changes occurring in the body resulting in the patient’s typical signs and symptoms. Usually a medical diagnosis is used as the topic to diagram as we will be doing with this assignment. However, a normal homeodynamic mechanism could be diagramed as well.
Conceptual diagrams emphasize causal relationships so they are clearer than expressing the same content in written text. Each arrow indicates a cause. Some of the possible questions that can be addressed are: What causes organ damage? How did the injury cause the specific clinical manifestations? What signs or symptoms were caused by adaptive responses? This method of learning and presentation will enhance memory links and conceptual understanding of the sequencing of events.
Suggested outline of the conceptual diagram follows as it relates to your specific case study:
a. Title: Title of the flow diagram Testicular Cancer should be placed prominently. Antecedents: Etiology or risk factors that lead to the development of the disease should be included. Arrows should be used from the antecedents to actions to patient’s signs and symptoms. Provide a minimum of 3 different antecedents with each antecedent leading to an action.
b. Actions: Actions are the body’s response to the pathology or stimulation of adaptive responses, including pathophysiologic changes at the cellular and tissue level. Each action then leads to clinical manifestations.
c. Clinical Manifestations: These manifestations are the subjective and objective data you would expect to observe in a patient experiencing this condition. Remember to include any abnormal diagnostic results (lab findings, diagnostic procedures). At this point, you should see and be able to explain visually why the above patient has cystic fibrosis. The manifestations as detailed will lead to appropriate nursing diagnoses.
d. Nursing Diagnoses- should be able to visualize how these are related to this specific patient case study via use of arrows
