The performance standard for coders is 2833 workload units per day. Workload units are calculated as follows: Inpatient record = 1 workload unit Outpatient surgical procedure records = 0.75 workload units Outpatient observation/emergency records = 0.50 workload units One week's productivity information is listed below What percentage of the coders is meeting the productivity standards?
To determine the percentage of coders meeting the productivity standards, we need to calculate each coder's workload units for the week and then compare it to the required standard. The performance standard is 2833 workload units per day, assuming a 5-day workweek (which is typical). Therefore, the weekly standard is 2833 * 5 = 14,165 workload units. Calculations for each employee are as follows: Employee 425: (120 * 1) + (35 * 0.75) + (16 * 0.5) = 120 + 26.25 + 8 = 154.25 units. Employee 426: (48 * 1) + (89 * 0.75) + (95 * 0.5) = 48 + 66.75 + 47.5 = 162.25 units. Employee 427: (80 * 1) + (92 * 0.75) + (4 * 0.5) = 80 + 69 + 2 = 151 units. Employee 428: (65 * 1) + (109 * 0.75) + (16 * 0.5) = 65 + 81.75 + 8 = 154.75 units. Since none of these employees reached the 14,165 workload units in a week, none of them are meeting the productivity standard. Therefore, 0% of the coders are meeting the productivity standards.
