This assessment requires you address EHR implementation strategies for health organizations and describe how EHRs improve patient safety. You will consider your own facility’s implementation of its electronic health record, if you have one. If not, you should contact a large health system in your area and talk to their IT department, or you may select one of your clinical sites and contact that IT department. Answer the following questions:

• State the EHR mandate. Who started it? When?

• What are the goals of the mandate?

• Describe your facility’s plan. If you have already implemented a system, what steps were taken? Make sure you use the HealthIT.gov website—be clear!

• Describe “meaningful use”.

As you observed in Module Six’s reading, the largest current influencers of recycling programs are government agencies. In addition, this module’s resources suggest that the current supply and demand framework for recyclables make it financially unfeasible for companies to endorse recycling.

• What is the motivation for industry to participate? Does a balanced triple bottom line ultimately benefit the company if it is losing money?
• How extensive a role should governmental regulation play in mandating green supply chains?
• Considering your own values regarding recycling, what motivates you to recycle or not recycle?

Purpose of Assignment

Scenario: BizCon, a consulting firm, has just completed its first year of operations. The company’s sales growth was explosive. To encourage clients to hire its services, BizCon offered 180-day financing – meaning its largest customers do not pay for nearly 6 months. Because BizCon is a new company, its equipment suppliers insist on being paid cash on delivery. Also, it had to pay up front for 2 years of insurance. At the end of the year, BizCon owed employees for one full month of salaries, but due to a cash shortfall, it promised to pay them the first week of next year.

As the senior accountant, the Chief Financial Officer has asked you to prepare a memo to be sent to management notifying them of the delayed wage payments.

Prepare the memo in a maximum 700 words including the following information to better outline the situation:

• Explain how cash and accrual accounting differs for each of the events listed in the above scenario and describe the proper accrual accounting.
• Assess how at the end of the year, BizCon reported a favorable net income, yet the company’s management is concerned because the company is very short of cash. Explain to management how BizCon could have positive net income and yet run out of cash.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
