Carolina High School, located in Greenville County, was established in 1956 as a 9th through 12th grade public high school. In 1995, the school was chosen to be a magnet school where at its peak had a student enrollment of over 1300. When the needs of the community changed and local mills closed, the dynamics of the community changed, dropping enrollment down by several hundred students. By 2000, the average family income was just above $22,000, where a little over 9% of the families were reported by the 2000 Census as earning less than $15,000 per year. Due to the changes in the surroundings of the school, the school suffered from great challenges. In a location stricken by poverty, the enrollment in 2008 was a little over 700 students with over 80% of the population being minority and served by the free and reduced lunch…

While there are some things that are known triggers for the anxiety, such as being touched, it is often not clear what has caused it. This means that some of Child A’s behaviour, actions and reactions can also be inconsistent and unpredictable. (Reference K2)…
In order to give a proper recommendation on how West Coast University Student Health Services Primary Care Clinic could improve the level of service that is provided to their patients, it is necessary to analyze the hard data to find out what is causing the long wait times. To see if there is any way that the PCC can reduce wait time, we must first investigate how the PCC is staffed and how quickly the clinicians can process a patient. We are given information that a clinician spends about 20 minutes with a patient and 5 minutes to make notes and add them to the patient’s file. So if we were to try to figure out how many patients one clinician could see in an hour, we would get these results:…
