Dr. Frost, Dr. Summer, and Dr. Mansfield work together in a group practice. They share scheduling, coding and billing staff.

However, the doctors sometimes have different ideas on how things  should be done. When Dr. Mansfield sees a patient for a breast biopsy,  she knows that she will spend 1.25 hours with that patient and will bill  $750 for the procedure. Then she will need a 20-minute break between  patients to prepare specimen right away for pathology. She does not want  any deviation from this.

Dr. Summer is a dermatologist who sees patients with varying degrees  of skin lesions needing removal. Until it’s over, he wants to keep  options open about the coding and billing, even the length of time the  patient might take.

Dr. Frost, our third doctor, is open to seeing patients who need  lengthy consultations, except on Thursday afternoons. On Thursdays, he  has to pick up his daughter at 2:00 pm. When staff schedule a  complicated case they need to make sure it is not for Thursday  afternoon. Office staff members are tired of using post-it notes on the  desk to remind themselves of these different needs.

Your task:

Write a 1- page paper that answers the following:

  1. Do you think these varying needs would be challenging for a scheduling system? Why or why not?
  2. What sort of alerts or reminders would you put into their system(s)?
  3. Brainstorm 4-5 solutions and issues for dealing with these various needs.

Be sure to cite your source(s) and make sure your paper is free of spelling and grammar errors.

Is this good news for Walgreens or other retail pharmacies?Does it give CVS more durability and flexibility through diversification? Does this mean more pressure on Aetna customers to get their drugs from CVS?

Pharmacy stocks have been badly spooked lately by swirling expectations that Amazon will eventually get into the business of filling prescriptions. Is this the reason behind this deal, as CVS braces for the kind of shakeup Jeff Bezos has brought to other pure retailers? Does that make the Aetna deal at least partly “defensive,” and it could slow Amazon’s plans? For instance, Aetna customers might be incentivized to buy their pills from CVS, while CVS is the largest pharmacy in the country? How do you see this? who is winning and who is losing? Think form the all stakeholders’ (competitors, customers, health care system, and patients) perspectives.

Also, the Justice Department earlier this year blocked a merger between Aetna and Humana, saying it would reduce competition. Regulators also scaled back another merger, between Walgreens and Rite-Aid. Why the CVS-Aetna merger is seen very positively now?

Do the merging companies compare themselves to Border’s Inc. and how Amazon has impacted it? I have attached a back ground on what happened to Border’s Inc.
