Question

The daily inpatient service day totals in February for a 50-bed hospital are listed:

a. Inpatient bed occupancy percentage for February 14. %
b. Days with the highest inpatient occupancy percentage in February, without calculating the individual percentages. Feb and Feb
c. Inpatient bed occupancy percentage for February. (compute to two decimal places) %
d. Divide the month into four equal periods (seven days each) and indicate the inpatient bed occupancy percentage for each of the four periods. (compute to two decimal places)Feb 1-7 %, Feb 8-14 %, Feb 15-21 %, Feb 22-28 %

Answer 1

To calculate the inpatient bed occupancy percentage for each period, divide the number of inpatient service days by the total available bed days and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the inpatient bed occupancy percentage for each period, you need to divide the number of inpatient service days by the total available bed days for each period and then multiply by 100. Here are the calculations for each period:

1. Feb 1-7: Calculate the total available bed days by multiplying 50 beds by 7 days = 350. Divide the number of inpatient service days in this period by 350 and multiply by 100.
2. Feb 8-14: Repeat the same steps as above with the inpatient service days in this period and the total available bed days of 350.
3. Feb 15-21: Repeat the calculation using the inpatient service days in this period and the total available bed days of 350.
4. Feb 22-28: Repeat the calculation using the inpatient service days in this period and the total available bed days of 350.
5. For instance, to answer if 80 women collectively spent more than a year in the hospital, one would multiply the number of women by the average stay they had and compare it to the total number of days in a year. Concerning probability questions, such as the likelihood of an individual's hospital stay duration and patient arrival rates at an urgent care facility, students would apply probability distributions and mathematical formulas to find answers.
