Local Hospital (LH) has decided that it would like to send nurses to a local supermarket to provide a free health screening for interested supermarket customers. The screening will consist of measuring the individual’s blood pressure and taking a drop of blood, which will be immediately tested for several critical indicators. The director of public relations at the hospital believes that 100 people will take advantage of the screening each day. The plan is to provide the screening every day for one week; thus, a total of 700 screenings are expected. LH expects the supermarket to provide a $1,000 grant to help defray the costs of the program (since it will likely draw more customers to the store). LH anticipates the following expenses: Test Equipment Rental $500 For 1 week Nurses $50/hr Total of 10 hrs/day for 7 days Blood tests $1 Per individual tested Determine the special purpose budget for the program.

The part-time bookkeeper, who works 10 hours per week, is employed exclusively for this purpose.North Falls Physician's Service Center has offered to take over all of Dr. Rahavy's billings and collections for an annual fee of $7,000.

- MGMT Hospital Inc is a private concern that recently opened it doors to the public in the suburbs amidst heavy traffic. There are hardly any quiet nights. Sirens are a constant feature. However, once inside, there is just the hustle and bustle of hospital staff going back and forth. A hospital readmission is when a patient who is discharged from the hospital, is re-admitted again within a certain period of time. Hospital readmission rates for certain conditions are now considered an indicator of hospital quality, and also affect the cost of care adversely. For this reason, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) which aims to improve quality of care for patients and reduce health care spending by applying payment penalties to hospitals that have more than expected readmission rates for certain conditions. Although diabetes is not yet included in the penalty measures, the program is regularly adding new disease…arrow_forwardA medical clinic is randomly selecting three staff members to attend a conference.

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.
