Question two

In the link provided above, joint commission provides a table with quantity and unit price for the number of manuals that clinic and hospitals can order. The HIM manager at the Liberty Clinic can choose the quantity of the manuals to purchase from the table below.

Quantity unit price

1to 15 - $ 199.00
16 to 50 – $ 179.10
51 to 100 - $ 169.15
101 to 500 - $ 159. 20
501 and above - $ 149.25
The list price for the order is $ 199.00 and the accredited price is $ 159.00. From the website, these manuals are ready and the joint commission will ship or deliver them immediately after ordering and payment. The commission requires all the products to be paid before delivery using either wire transfer or check methods. It also gives proforma invoice or sales quote to enable the buyers to process the payment even if they do not possess a credit card.
Other procedures for ordering and purchasing the manual are as follows; first, the buyer can choose the manuals and put them to his or her shopping cart. Secondly, the buyer will be required to create a proforma invoice or secure checkout online (2015 Hospital Accreditation Standards, 2015). Thirdly, the buyer can enter the shipping and billing details and then proceed to the next step. Finally, the buyer will receive a sales quote within a period of 5 minutes through the email. This mail will contain how the buyer can complete wire transfer or check payment.

Question three

In order to access information on ordering and pricing of the CAMAC manual in an electronic version, the HIM manager of the Liberty Clinic will need to visit the home page of the joint commission where it provides all kinds of information. After opening the homepage, one will need to open the software tab from several tabs displayed on the top of the joint commission’s website.
After opening the software tab, one will find three sections; the introduction, tracers with Amp and CMS access. The introduction provides several benefits of the electronic versions to the purchasing organization such as fitting limited budget and staffs, simple to read and store among others. The CMS access is the software that contains the CAMAC manual required by the Liberty Clinic, and is displayed at the bottom of the page. The price of the software that contains the manual ranges from $ 5400 to $ 6480. The list price is $ 6480, while the accredited price is $ 5400. There are also prices for bulky pricing as follows;

Quantity Unit Price

1-2 $ 6480 per license
3 and above $ 6156 per license
These offers are for unlimited number of users in the same organization. The software not only provides the CAMAC manuals, but also other products and services that are offered by the joint commission. These other products include transmittals, publications, interactive forums, survey processes, email alerts among others. The purchasing organization need to ask for an online sales quote or proforma invoice, which it can use to place their order to the comission (CMS Access, 2015). The purchasing details for online version are similar to those on print version only that there is no section for shipping since the software is sold over the internet.
After completing payment process using check or wire transfer, the software and the license will be sent through email to the representative of the Liberty Clinic. In order to purchase the license, one will need to click the tab for “license purchase” that will direct the buyer to another page where he or she is required to fill the details for the purchasing organization. These details include the name of the organization, its location, its email address, among others. The page also provides the details for renewing the product’s license since it is supposed to be renewed annually.

Question four

In order to obtain this information, I encountered several challenges that required consistent efforts without giving up. First, some pages are not accessible because the website’s settings require one to either fill the first page before proceeding to the next or to sign in to be allowed to view the information. Secondly, there are many sites that are displaying the information for joint commission accreditation manual, but not providing complete or specific details that are required in this exercise. This makes the process of searching tedious and consuming a lot of time. One is forced to open many pages and sites, and later close them since they do not provide the necessary information. Finally, the information regarding ordering and pricing of both print and electronic versions of the CAMAC manual is not displayed where one can easily access it in the joint commission’s website. One is forced to open several tabs and pages before accessing it.
