Rationale for SBA

The SBA is designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate, on a timely basis, their ability to
solve problems using computer applications such as:

o Database
o Spreadsheet
o Word Processing
o Programming Language

Students must ensure they have necessary backups of their work as this will alleviate any undue delay of
submission caused by malfunctioning thumb drives, hard drives, etc. A good backup is for students to
email their work to themselves periodically.

The SBA project is marked out of 90 and is worth 30% of your final CXC-CSEC examination grade.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

There is an outbreak of Chic-V in JAMLAND and the Ministry of Health has set up a taskforce (Chic-V
Eradication Task Force) to monitor the affected communities and parishes. The parishes affected are
Queensland, Fairyland, Portabello & Irish Town; the number of reported cases is increasing since the first case
was confirmed August 1, 2014. As of September 17, a total of 50 confirmed cases were reported by personnel
from the health centres in the affected communities.

You have been hired as an Information Systems Specialist whose duties include:
 Recording and monitoring information collected from the health centres of persons who have contracted
the disease in a properly maintained database.

 Recording information, calculating costs, analysing and presenting information on patients’ visits gathered
from the four parishes using electronic spreadsheets.

 Prepare letters to be sent to health officials, et al. of the affected regions inviting them to attend a meeting
to assess the control measures implemented to combat the spread of disease; create a brochure to
inform the public of the dangers of the disease associated and measures to combat the spread of
disease symptoms using a Word Processor.
 Develop and test an algorithm using Pseudocode or Flow Chart.
 Write a code to implement the algorithm using Pascal Programming Language

The following is the fee structure for the Health Centres:

Taken from http://icttrainercp.blogspot.com/p/sba-2016.html 4


 Registration fee for all health centres is $500.00.
 A flat rate of $950.00 is charged for each blood test.
 A 10% handling fee is to be applied to the cost of each blood test.
 Doctor’s fees are based on the type of Health Centre as shown below:

Type of Health Centre Code Doctor’s Visit $


Type 1 T1 1550
Type 2 T2 2500
Type 3 T3 3000

 Some patients have health insurance coverage while others do not. The portion of the total medical bill
that is covered by health insurance is outlined in the following table:

Insurance Company Code Coverage


Magicor MG01 80%
Medisure MS02 70%
Warden WD03 75%
None NN04 0%

 Place the information about the fees in a spreadsheet named Fees


 Copy Patient_Info1 and paste in a new sheet. Name this sheet Patient_Info_2
 Modify your spreadsheet by adding the following columns to calculate the amount each patient should pay

for a medical examination at the health centre.

 Registration fee is the amount charged for each visit to the health institution.

 Blood test amount - is the cost for blood test.

 Blood test Handling Fees - the blood test surcharge.

 Doctor’s Fee –Fee for each visit based on type of health centre

 Total Cost - the cost after adding all fee

 Insurance Amount – Insurance Company’s percentage of the Doctor’s Visit Fee

 Patient’s Amount - the amount that the patient will pay after insurance amount is deducted

 Calculate the final payment made by each patient.

 The Chairman of the task force suggested you use cell references in formulae so that the spreadsheet can

be used for future calculations with minimum modifications. Use suitable “VLOOK UP” and “IF” functions to

ensure that your spreadsheet is efficient. Use formatting features to allow clarity of your worksheet

(example bold, no. of decimal places, $, etc.).

TASK B

 Copy Patient_Info2 and paste in a new sheet. Name this sheet Patient_Info_3
The information for the third patient was incorrectly recorded. Delete this record.
Sort the worksheet based on Parish in ascending order then by Date diagnosed in descending order.
In an appropriate section of the worksheet use advanced filter to extract information for all patients who
had blood test and do not have insurance coverage. Save results to another section of the spreadsheet.

TASK C

1. Create a Column Chart to compare the number of patients visiting Type1, Type 2 and Type 3 Health
Centers for EACH parish. The chart should be labelled with appropriate title and axis and include a
legend.

c. Both Charts

Wordprocessing

Develop a letterhead for use by the task force. The letterhead should include the name of the task force,
address, telephone number, fax and email address. Bold and italicize the email address. The letterhead
should be placed in the header. Save as LettHead

TASK A
The coordinator of the Task Force has instructed you to create an attractive brochure on letter size paper to
alert the public on the dangers of the disease, and the associated signs and symptoms. The following
information was supplied:
1. Use the logo from the letter head at an appropriate location on the brochure.

2. Illustrate at least three preventative measures with two or more graphics showing how to combat the
spreading of the disease.

3. Note – Be creative in the design of your brochure to obtain the required marks by using suitable
features of a word processing application (columns, tables, bullets, colour, etc.). Save as Brochure.

TASK B
Using the Taskforce Letterhead and mail merge feature of your word processing application, prepare a letter
addressed to the recipients listed below inviting them to a meeting scheduled for January 5, 2015 at 2:30 PM in
the Conference Room of the Ministry of Health.
The nature of the meeting is to (a) assess the control measures being implemented to combat the spread of the
disease, (b) organize and mobilize resources for the next phase of the project, and (c) to discuss ways in which
the health insurance providers will help in funding the fight against Chic-V by paying their portion of the medical
bills for patients they insure.
It is very important that the insurance providers be in attendance as the government has committed to continue
the “Free Health Care” policy with a proviso that “those who can pay, must pay”. Save the letter as Meeting

Modify the letter to include the report from the database section of the project which shows the amount the
government would recover from Company of your Choice for treatment of patients insured by that company.

Problem-Solving

1. Develop an algorithm using pseudocode or flowchart that accepts as input relevant


information for an unspecified number of patients. A patient may be from any one of the
four parishes. The algorithm should determine the total costs incurred by each patient.
This includes registration fee, doctor’s fee, total blood test cost, etc. (see spreadsheet
section of SBA). The algorithm should also determine the amount of the patient’s cost
paid by insurance provider as well as the cost borne by the patient. The patient’s
registration number, name, parish, blood test costs (inclusive of surcharge), total cost,
Insurance Amount and patient’s amount should be printed in a tabular format. A
summary showing the number of patients registered should also be printed.

2. Design and execute a trace table that accepts patient’s data at clinics in the various
parishes. Data should include registration number, name, registration fee, doctor’s fees
and blood test costs. Patients who are insured may be insured by any of the three
Insurance Companies, Magicor, Medisure or Warden. The table should trace the
increment of each patient’s visit and total costs. There should have at least ten iterations
and a clear indicator that signals the end of the Trace Table

Program Implementation
3. Using the Programming Language Pascal, write program code to implement the
algorithm.
