Proposal for New Employee Scenario: You are the Senior Supervisor for the Admissions Department of Valleybrook Hospital, a 500-bed hospital full service health care facility. In the past three years, admissions at Valleybrook have increased an average of 15% per year. Up to now, the admissions staff members have filed their own information but increases in admissions, filing is backing up. Observing this, you need to prepare a justification proposal for a part-time filing clerk. Use the information below, Figure 16-9 and Table 16- 2 to calculate a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). Prepare the proposal using the CBA template including thorough justification and the CBA you have configured. Facts: Currently have 5 full-time admissions clerks at $12 per hour or $12, 544.00 monthly cost (including $1344 fringe costs). The admissions clerks are so busy with admissions and paperwork related to admittance that they do not have adequate time to file all their paperwork. Part-time filing clerk needed at 20 hours (no fringe) at $10 per hour Increase in admissions has increased revenue an average of $300,000 monthly. With expenses factored in, there is a profit for Valleybrook of approximately $100,000 monthly. Profit configured conservatively at 5% increase, Valleybrook would still realize a clear profit of approximately $30,000 monthly. Option 1: Existing admissions clerks can work overtime. Each clerk will work 3 hours overtime each week. Option 2: Hire a part-time filing clerk.
