    ## Summary

    | |
    | — |
    | You all get the chance to play the role of financial analyst below. The summary should be a comparison of each company's performance for each major category of ratios listed below. Focus on major differences as you compare each company's performance. A nice way to conclude is to state which company you feel is the better investment and why. |
    | Liquidity: NIKE has the advantage for the current ratio. NIKE has $3.05 in current assets for every dollar in current liabilities while Under Armour has only 98 cents in current assets for every dollar in current liabilities. NIKE has the advantage for the inventory turnover ratio, but Under Armour has the advantage for the accounts receivable turnover ratio. NIKE turns over its inventory 4.1 times to Under Armour's 3.1 times. Under Armour has the advantage for the accounts receivable turnover ratio as Under Armour collects on its receivables 12.6 times to Nike's 8.5 times. |
    | Solvency: Under Armour has less debt than NIKE as evidenced by Under Armour's 35.5% debt-to-assets ratio as compared to NIKE's 41.8% debt-to-assets ratio. NIKE can cover its interest expense 108.4 times with income before interest and taxes, while Under Armour can only cover its interest expense 65.1 times with their income before interest and taxes. NIKE has free cash flow of $1.3 billion while Under Armour has $78.5 million in free cash flow. |
    | Profitability: Under Armour has the advantage for the gross profit rate at 49% while NIKE has a 44.8% gross profit rate percentage.

NIKE also has the advantage for return on common stockholders' equity with an ROE of 24.6% to Under Armour's 17.3%. |
    | Conclusion: Under Armour has less debt than NIKE as measured by the debt to assets ratio, but NIKE has a stronger current ratio and times-interest earned ratio. Regarding profitability, NIKE has the advantage for return on assets (ROA) and return on common stockholders' equity (ROE). For both a conservative investor and growth investor, NIKE looks like the better choice. |

    ## **Introduction**
    **Note**: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are required to complete them in sequence.
    The scope of the regulatory environment and its requirements are ever-changing. Healthcare leaders need to know where they can find information about the requirements (within the subsector of the industry) to respond appropriately to issues. In addition, healthcare leaders need to proactively set strategies in place to mitigate future risks to their patients and organizations.
    It is an exciting time in healthcare as all of us experience the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The change will likely affect your current or future healthcare job. Leaders in our industry are rethinking how business is to be conducted.
    Understanding relevant terminology is an important step in addressing the topics of healthcare quality, risk management, and regulatory environment.

Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as a part of your assessment.
    **The Regulatory Environment:**
    – Which regulatory bodies oversee the subsector of the healthcare industry in which you currently work or would like to work?
    – How would you figure out which organizations oversee the subsector?
    – How would you determine which laws apply to your setting and what type of data you need to collect and examine?
    – What are the standards of care?
    – How would you locate these standards?
    – How would you know if your organization exceeded those standards and might be in a position to apply for accreditation?
    **Establishing a Culture of Patient Safety:**
    – What is an example of a best practice for establishing a systems-based culture of patient safety?
    – How will you know if your organization was identified as an example of success when best practices are used?
    **Benchmarking:**
    – What types of processes exist for collecting and analyzing data to identify trends in the performance of your healthcare setting?
    – Who are some of the healthcare industry's best performers in terms of risk management?
    – What types of benchmarking data are important to consider?
    – What roles within your own organization need to be involved in a proactive risk-management program?
    – What are some critical success factors for the establishment of a systems-based risk-management program?
    – What types of considerations or cautions are important to keep in mind when interpreting internal and external benchmarking data?

    The healthcare industry is continually evolving with the advancements of technology, science, and regulation. The consistent evolution of the industry has created an unprecedented environment for healthcare leaders to be operating within. The evolution of change has therefore transitioned the industry into a value-based delivery model.
    Regulatory compliance in healthcare is in place to ensure patient safety and that healthcare facilities are operating under a legal and ethical umbrella to which standardized best practices are being utilized.
    As an entity within the healthcare industry, the goal for all organizations is to aim for regulatory compliance, but to be consistently assessing and reevaluating your operations with an aim toward achieving the mentality and behaviors of a high-reliability organization (HRO). A key example of the endeavor to transition healthcare toward becoming HROs is the development of affordable care organizations (ACO).

    ### Instructions

    Use the following screenshots (or download the mpp file) of a hybrid sample project to guide your responses to the two prompts below. In a Word document, answer the following questions.

    Prompt 1:

    A hybrid project is a project that has both traditional and agile methodologies in one project. Why would organizations need to combine both methodologies? Elaborate using the sample screenshots of the hybrid sample project. For instance, what could be the reason that the project manager for the sample project prefers to apply a hybrid methodology rather than a pure traditional methodology? Answer in not less than 100 words. You can use open sources with references. (25 points)

    Prompt 2:

    There are three main screens that project managers use to manage agile-embedded (hybrid or pure agile) projects—sprint backlog, product backlog, and performance dashboard. Review the following three screenshots and identify one term from each screen that is unique to agile methodologies and not typically used in traditional project management. For each term, write approximately 100 words explaining its purpose, how it functions within the agile framework, and how it affects the project manager’s approach to planning and execution. Use open sources and include references where applicable. Answer in not less than 100 words for each, 300 words in total. You can use open sources with references. (75 points)
