Document Summary

Some thoughts on wine quality and fnh 330 from dr. mcarthur june 2008. Fnh 330 an introduction to wine science is meant to be an overview of the wine industry/world. Still, the subject of wine quality and what we like to drink (are these two related?) always comes up. Hence, i have put down some thoughts here for you to consider and if you like to respond to. Parker, university texts) in order to synthesize one that is technical, but allows for subjective input. For example, it is appropriate for a german riesling to have some medium+ acidity offset with some sweetness (offdry). Rieslings are often made dry with medium+ to high acidity and this is appropriate for their appellation. Wine judges may award good examples of rieslings from either region with high points because each region is producing a different style of riesling. Consumers exercise their judgment of what is appropriate or balance through the wines they buy.

Scenario

Staff Nurse: Thank you for agreeing to talk to me about the discussion we had the other day about assigning patient load. As I started to say in the meeting, but got interrupted, is that I really donât like the new plan that we have. I liked the old one better. I donât understand why we need to change.

Leader: You did get to express one concern about visiting patients in Iron Ridge and that is the communityâs high crime rate. We all recognize this issue, and I do understand. But the new patient assignment scheme is meant to match you with patients who will most benefit from your specialty, and not where you live geographically. There are many patients in Iron Ridge who have diabetes that need your expertise.

Staff Nurse: Wellâ¦ I really do love my patients and I donât hold it against them that they live in a bad part of town. But frankly, Iâm afraid! Every night when I watch the news, there is somebody thatâs been involved in a shooting or a carjacking. I talked to my husband about it and he said that if you insist I go over there, he wants me to quit. Itâs not safe!

Leader: [audible pause] I have an idea I would like to explore with you. What if we sent an escort to accompany you on your visits? Would this help you feel safer in that neighborhood?

Staff nurse: Sure, it would, but do you think thatâs realistic? The last I heard, we didnât have any money to give us nurses raises and bonuses. I mean, do we even have the budget for something like security?

Leader: Itâs realistic as long as I can justify the safety of our nurses. Letâs say the cost is not a barrier to this scheme. What do you think? Staff Nurse: [hesitation] Please let me think about it. I need to talk to my husband, too. I canât decide right now, but youâve given me something to consider.

At times the needs of our families conflict with our work responsibilities. Could this possibly be the underlying issue here?

1)Explain the conflict resolution skills displayed by the leader in the scenario. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate those of the leader.

2)How might earlier collaboration have been beneficial?

3)Some organizations utilize non Registered Nurses in the Case Manager role. What additional skills, knowledge and attributes would the BSN-prepared Registered Nurse bring to case management in this scenario?

Robatelli's Pizzeria Case StudyIntroduction On the morning of October 31st, Elaine Black, Chief Information Officer at Robatelli's Pizzeria, was waiting for both Jim Saxton, database administrator, and Peter Greyton, operations manager, to come to her office for a meeting. While waiting, Elaine was thinking about the surge of telephone and Internet orders expected to be received through the company's customer order center within the next 12 hours. Halloween had always been the most popular day of the year for people in the greater Pittsburgh area to order pizza from Robatelli's. There were 53 restaurant locations to serve these customers, but only one location to receive all of the orders and forward them to the right restaurant. Elaine's thoughts were interrupted as Jim and Peter entered her office. The following conversation took place: ELAINE Well, guys, it's here again, our biggest day of the year. Not only is Halloween a busy day, but we have the upcoming day after Thanksgiving, the week before Christmas, and Super Bowl Sunday. Can our current computer system's infrastructure and people keep pace with the orders we expect? JIM I think our systems are all running at peak performance. We shouldn't have any computer concerns for today or those other busy days. PETER Everyone in the customer order center is focused on making sure that our customers get their pizzas as ordered. We have plenty of people scheduled to work tonight, so we're good to go. ELAINE Terrific. But every time we face one of these peak sales days, I start wondering about the long-term capacity and effectiveness of our computer systems. Jim, we need to think long term about our computer system. I was just reading an article that I'd like you to take a look at. It's about Anheuser-Busch Companies and their use of data mining. JIM I do agree with you, Elaine; we should always be thinking about how newer IT systems can help us. Could you e-mail me the link to the article? ELAINE Sure, and I would like you to think about how we might use the same approach in our business. Peter, your order center people are doing a great job, but again there's something I'd like us to think about in the long run. As you know, we now have to manually enter all customer order center sales and store sales into our general ledger (GL). I think we could improve a lot of things if those sales are automatically fed into our GL software. Why don't you think about any advantages you see for an automatic interface, and we'll look at the costs compared to those advantages. How's that sound? PETER I'll do that. I'll give it some thought and work on a report about an automatic interface between our GL software and the point of sale systems in our restaurants as well as the phone and Internet sales. How soon do you want to meet again to look at these issues? ELAINE Let's say, in two weeks at the same time. As Jim and Peter left her office, Elaine continued to think about the features of the company's accounting information systems and whether or not data extracted from these systems could facilitate the multiple needs of the company. The focus had always been on providing accurate financial accounting information from the various locations; however, the company's aggressive growth strategies meant increased emphasis on the system's ability to analyze detailed customer information that could be translated into increased sales opportunities. Elaine knew the challenges they faced could very well affect the company's ability to maintain its competitive advantage. She realized that her department must continually improve the company's information systems to help it achieve growth strategies. Operating state-of-the-art systems was imperative to position the company to execute those growth plans. However, she was concerned about the possibility that restrictions of the current information systems could actually prevent the company from doing what it wanted to do. Allowing restrictive systems to prevent them from achieving business strategies was a risk that Elaine would not tolerate!
