The issue of risk scenario carries immense importance for most of the hospitals that are part of the healthcare setting. However, there is not only one scenario that can affect the hospitals but there are several scenarios that can create an impact on the functions of the hospital. There are three scenarios that would be highlighted in the current topic. These three scenarios have a tendency to put a hospital at risk for financial stability. The first scenario that can produce a negative impact on the hospital risk is related to patient care and safety. The second scenario is related to the physical plant. The third and last scenario is related to staffing. The role of HIM practitioner in this regard would be very important. They would serve as a clinical quality assessment resource and as a team member to perform their tasks related to healthcare work. Therefore, all the issues related to three scenarios will be discussed in detail.…

* The chance that an investment's actual return will be different than expected. Risk includes the possibility of losing some or all of the original investment. Different versions of risk are usually measured by calculating the standard deviation of the historical returns or average returns of a specific investment. A high standard deviation indicates a high degree of risk.…

Variances can be defined as “A measurement of the spread between numbers in a data set. The variance measures how far each number in the set is from the mean.”1 A variance can be adverse or favourable. An adverse variance is when the actual financial figures for a business are worse than forecasted and a favourable variance is when the actual figures are better than budgeted.…

The managing partner for Westwood One Investment Managers Inc. gave a public seminar in which she discussed a number of issues, including investment risk analysis. In that seminar, she reminded people that the coefficient of variation can often be used as a measure of risk of an investment. To demonstrate her point of view, she used two hypothetical stocks as examples. She let x equal the change in assets for a $1,000.00 investment in stock1 and y reflect the change in assets for a $1,000.00 investment in stock2. She showed the seminar participants the following probability distributions:…
