A Study Of The Adaptability Of The Dental Management Game To Podiatry, Frank D. Ilzig, John Karaffa, Michael Rothschild, Marina Van Zyl May 1976

A Study Of The Adaptability Of The Dental Management Game To Podiatry, Frank D. Ilzig, John Karaffa, Michael Rothschild, Marina Van Zyl

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper explores the similarities between the practices of podiatry and dentistry, focusing on their shared clinical and managerial aspects. Both professions involve managing specialized areas of the body, directing assistants, and utilizing similar physical layouts, equipment, and treatment processes. However, students in both fields receive limited training in practice management during their predoctoral years. To address this gap, a computer-aided dental management game, developed at Case Western Reserve University, teaches dental students decision-making skills related to practice setup, patient scheduling, and staff management. The game evaluates performance based on costs, income, patient care, and resource utilization. Due to the …


Systems And Procedures Of Patients And Information Flow In The Outpatient Clinic Of A Large Health Center: A Systems Description, Critical Evaluation, And Recommendations For Improvement, Arnold Reisman, Joao Mello Da Silva, Joe Mantell May 1976

Systems And Procedures Of Patients And Information Flow In The Outpatient Clinic Of A Large Health Center: A Systems Description, Critical Evaluation, And Recommendations For Improvement, Arnold Reisman, Joao Mello Da Silva, Joe Mantell

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Systems analysis methods were used to describe the existing procedures for patient and information flow in the outpatient clinic of a large metropolitan health center. The procedures were complex, and they fell short of being effective from the physicians’, the patients’, and the administrators’ points of view. They were the result of the dynamics of natural degradation during a period of institutional expansion and extension. The paper delineates, in operationally meaningful terms, the ultimate goals and the objectives for the Patient and Information Flow System as well as the processes to be used to achieve same.

Employment Qualifications For Community Service Agencies And Organizations In Midland And Odessa, Susan Garfield Edwards Apr 1976

Employment Qualifications For Community Service Agencies And Organizations In Midland And Odessa, Susan Garfield Edwards

Graduate Theses

The terms "social work," "casework," and "counseling" signify similar but separate professions, occupations, and techniques. Their places within the spectrum of community or helping services are clarified by a discussion of relevant literature. Based on these perspectives, a survey of 104 local helping service agencies and organizations was under taken to establish employment qualifications (educational, experiential, professional) for the helping professions. Follow-up was done in 10 situations where Master's Degrees in Social Work, Counseling, and Psychology were required for employment—to determine the particular value of the degree for the specific position. Indications from this study are: that, most positions available …


Nonlinear Programming, Approximation, And Optimization On Infinitely Differentiable Functions, Vasant A. Ubhaya Apr 1976

Nonlinear Programming, Approximation, And Optimization On Infinitely Differentiable Functions, Vasant A. Ubhaya

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A nonnegative, infinitely differentiable function φ defined on the real line is called a Friedrichs mollifier function if it has support in [0,1] and ∫₀¹ φ(t)dt = 1. In this article the following problem is considered: Determine Ak = inf ∫₀¹ φ(k)(t)dt, k=1,2,..., where φ(k) denotes the kth derivative of φ and the infimum is taken over the set of all mollifier functions, which is a convex set. This problem has applications to monotone polynomial approximation as shown by this author in Ref. 2. The problem is reducible to three equivalent problems--a nonlinear programming problem, a problem on the functions …

Economic Analysis Applied To The Practice Of Dentistry, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero, Keki R. Dadachanji, Shailesh J. Mehta, Susumu Morito Mar 1976

Economic Analysis Applied To The Practice Of Dentistry, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero, Keki R. Dadachanji, Shailesh J. Mehta, Susumu Morito

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes one aspect of a general methodology for the management of a dental practice; in general and in particular, of one involving Expanded Duty Dental Auxiliaries. The aspect of concern in this paper centers on the economic analysis of practice management. Thus, the paper presents both an algebraic statement of the economic analysis and a set of forms (similar in format to the International Revenue Service 1040 forms) which can be used to respond to the following questions: (1) Given a patient load and mix, a practice configuration (i.e., the number of operatories and of workers of each …


On The Next-To-Dominating Eigenvalues Of A Markov Matrix, Teunis J. Ott Mar 1976

On The Next-To-Dominating Eigenvalues Of A Markov Matrix, Teunis J. Ott

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It is proven that two matrices, each of which has the property that all its rowsums are equal, and which have the property that one can be obtained from the other by adding, for every column, the same number to all elements of that column, have essentially the same set of eigenvalues. This result is used to give an upper bound for the absolute value of the "next-to-dominating" eigenvalue of a markov matrix. The two foregoing results together are used to suggest an iterative procedure for the value-determination step in markov-decision processes.


A Methodology For Forecasting Patient Load For A Dental Practice, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero, Keki R. Dadachanji, Susumu Morito Mar 1976

A Methodology For Forecasting Patient Load For A Dental Practice, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero, Keki R. Dadachanji, Susumu Morito

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes a methodology to forecast the patient load in a dental practice. Three different situations are treated individually: Forecasting in a new practice, forecasting in an established practice, and forecasting during merger. The paper presents both the mathematical models used in forecasting and a set of forms (similar in format to the Internal Revenue Service 1040 forms) which can be used to systematically compute the forecast value. Scheduling of patients and operatories [4,12] and economic analysis of a dental practice [6] require a dependable forecast of the patient load. This paper is intended to help the dentist make …


Nonlinear Programming And An Optimization Problem On Infinitely Differentiable Functions, Vasant A. Ubhaya Mar 1976

Nonlinear Programming And An Optimization Problem On Infinitely Differentiable Functions, Vasant A. Ubhaya

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper was originally titled "Extremum Problems on the Space of Infinitely Differentiable Functions, I”. A nonnegative, infinitely differentiable function φ defined on the real line is called a Friedrichs mollifier function if it has support in [0,1] and ∫₀¹ φ(t)dt = 1. In this article and a sequel [18], the following problem is considered: Determine Ak = inf ∫₀¹ φ(k)(t)dt, k=1,2,..., where φ(k) denotes the kth derivative of φ and the infimum is taken over the set of all mollifier functions, which is a convex set. This problem has applications to monotone polynomial approximation as shown by this author …

Simulation Models Applied To Dental Practice Management: A Survey, Susumu Morito, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The purpose of this paper is to review recently completed and ongoing work in the field of simulation applied to dental practice management in general and problems of scheduling patients, workers and operatories in particular. In dentistry, as in many other areas of health care delivery, rapid changes are coming about. Practices are moving toward an increasing prevalence of group practices and to the introduction of new categories of allied professionals. These factors, plus the increased demand for dental care that may be anticipated in the coming years, are making it ever harder, and ever more important, to find solutions …

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper discusses computer-aided comparisons of performance of alternative policies for patient and worker scheduling in a practice involving expanded function dental auxiliaries. The comparisons are made in terms of net earnings, total number of patients served, worker utilization, etc., using computer based simulation. Predetermined scheduling is proved to be an efficient method under a wide range of conditions.


Sequencing Jobs For A Single Worker To Process And Deliver, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons Feb 1976

Sequencing Jobs For A Single Worker To Process And Deliver, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The problem of sequencing n jobs on one processor is considered, under the additional assumption that jobs are not completed until delivered. A single worker does both the processing and delivery, and deliveries can take place in batches following the completion of any job. Several special cases of this general class of problems are motivated, formulated, and solved.

Survey Of The Alumni Of The Department Of Operations Research Case Western Reserve University 1951-1975, John J. Rasmussen, Thomas George

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The Department of Operations Research at Case Western Reserve University conducted a survey of alumni to assess the educational background, curriculum effectiveness, career paths, and utility of their degrees over its 25-year history. The findings reveal a strong preference among graduates for incorporating applied and implementation-focused content into the curriculum. Most alumni pursue careers in non-academic settings, with many earning additional graduate degrees. Recent graduates frequently work in industries where the degree is not explicitly required. The results provide valuable insights for current students planning their educational and professional trajectories and inform departmental decisions on curriculum development. Additionally, the study …
