Final answer:

To calculate various metrics related to bed occupancy at Holy Cross Hospital for the month of June, including the total IPSD, IPSD for specific time periods, average DIPC, average IPSD, and percent of bed occupancy. Additionally, if the bed count had increased on June 15, the percent of bed occupancy would be recalculated. These calculations are important to understand and monitor the hospital's capacity and utilization.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To calculate the Total Inpatient Service Days (IPSD) for June, you need to sum up the number of days each bed was occupied during the month. If the bed count is 50, and you have the number of days occupied for each bed, you would add up those numbers to get the IPSD.

b. To calculate the IPSD for June 7 through June 15, you need to sum up the number of days each bed was occupied during that specific period. Again, with the bed count of 50, and the number of days occupied for each bed during that period, you would add up those numbers to get the IPSD for that timeframe.

c. To calculate the Average Daily Inpatient Census (DIPC) for June 1 through June 10, you would divide the total IPSD for that period by the number of days in that period.

d. To calculate the Average Inpatient Service Days (IPSD) for June, you would divide the total IPSD for the month by the number of days in June.

e. To calculate the Percent of Bed Occupancy for June, you would divide the total IPSD for June by the product of the bed count and the number of days in June, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

f. If the bed count had increased to 55 beds on June 15, calculate the Percent of Bed Occupancy for June by following the same steps as in part e, using the updated bed count of 55.
