Valley Hospital began using standards to evaluate its Admissions Department. The standard was broken into two types of admissions as follows:
Type of Admission
Standard Time to CompleteAdmission Record
Unscheduled
30 min.
Scheduled
20 min.
The unscheduled admission took longer because name, address, and insurance information needed to be determined and verified at the time of admission. Information was collected on scheduled admissions prior to admitting the patient, thus requiring less time in admissions.
The Admissions Department employs four full-time people for 40 hours per week at $15 per hour. For the most recent week, the department handled 176 unscheduled and 240 scheduled admissions.

A hospital orders surgical supplies using a fixed order interval system. Suppose that just prior to ordering, a check of rolls of gauze bandages shows that there are 40 currently on hand. Suppose also that these rolls have a daily usage that is approximately normal with a mean of 9 rolls and a standard deviation of 4 rolls. Lead time is 4 days and the desired service level is 98 percent. The order interval is 12 days
What's the expected demand during the order interval and lead time? *

- Suppose that the average waiting time for a patient at a physicians office is just over 29 minutes. To address the issue of long patient wait times, some physicians offices are using wait-tracking systems to notify patients of expected wait times. Patients can adjust their arrival times based on this information and spend less time in waiting rooms. The following data show wait times (in minutes) for a sample of patients at offices that do not have a wait-tracking system and wait times for a sample of patients at offices with such systems. a. What are the mean and median patient wait times for offices with a wait-tracking system? What are the mean and median patient wait times for offices without a wait-tracking system? b. What are the variance and standard deviation of patient wait times for offices with a wait-tracking system? What are the variance and standard deviation of patient wait times for visits to offices without a wait tracking system? c. Create a box plot for patient wait times for offices without a wait-tracking system. d. Create a box plot for patient wait times for offices with a wait-tracking system. e. Do offices with a wait-tracking system have shorter patient wait times than offices without a wait-tracking system?

Hence, the implementation of the following measures is adopt by the management to reduce lead time. Adopt just-in-time principles in its claims payment operations Switching from paper forms to electronic forms Design claims payment "cells" that are organized around different types of insurance products or customers rather than processes Implement a "pull" scheduling processes.

Suppose a dentist works a 9-hour day with one hour for lunch and breaks. During the first six months the practice is open, he does all the work, including cleaning and setting up for the next dental procedure. Setup and processing times for three procedures are shown in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Also shown are the number of appointments and demand for each type. On a particular day, there are two scheduled first appointments for single tooth crowns (see last column of the table in the Microsoft Excel Online file below), one second appointment for a single tooth crown, three tooth-whitening appointments, four first appointments for a partial denture, one second appointments for a partial denture, and three third appointments for a partial denture.

- The Dahlia Medical Center has 35 labor rooms, 19 combination labor and delivery rooms, and 3 delivery rooms. All of these facilities operate around the clock. Time spent in labor rooms varies from hours to days, with an average of about a day. The average uncomplicated dellvery requires about one hour in the delivery room. The average time in a combination labor-delivery room is about 24 hours. During an exceptionally busy three-day period, 101 healthy bables were born at Dahlia Medical Center. 51 bables were born in separate labor and delivery rooms and 50 were bom in combined labor and delivery rooms. Which of the facilities (labor rooms, combination labor and delivery rooms, or dellvery rooms) had the greatest utilization rate? The combination labor and delivery rooms had the highest utilization rate of%. (Enter your response as a percent rounded to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardThe Radiology Department provides imaging services for Emergency Medical Center. One important activity in the Radiology Department is transcribing digitally recorded analyses of images into a written report. The manager of the Radiology Department determined that the average transcriptionist could type 700 lines of a report in an hour. The plan for the first week in May called for 81,900 typed lines to be written. The Radiology Department has three transcriptionists. Each transcriptionist is hired from an employment firm that requires temporary employees to be hired for a minimum of a 40-hour week. Transcriptionists are paid $23.00 per hour. The manager offered a bonus if the department could type more lines for the week, without overtime. Due to high service demands, the transcriptionists typed more lines in the first week of May than planned. The actual amount of lines typed in the first week of May was 88,900 lines, without overtime. As a result, the bonus caused the average…arrow_forwardThe registration advisors at a small Midwestern university (SMU) help 4,200 students develop their class schedules and register for classes each semester. Each advisor works for 10 hours a day during the registration period. SMU currently has 10 advisors. While advising an individual student can take anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes, it takes an average of 12 minutes per student. During the registration period, the 10 advisors see an average of 300 students a day on a first-come, firstserved basis. Q. The head of the registration advisors would like to increase the number of students seen each day because at 300 students a day it would take 14 working days to see all of the students. This is a problem because the registration period lasts for only 2 weeks (10 working days). If the advisors could advise 420 students a day, it would take only 2 weeks (10 days). However, the head advisor wants to make sure that the waiting time is not excessive. What would be the average waiting time if 420…arrow_forward
