General Hospital has been in operation for 13 years. It has 6,000 admissions per year. The facility has expanded and will allow for 200 more admissions per year from now on. There are 2,500 linear feet of filing space available and half is being used the facility expects a 30% readmission rate. If a unit number/filing system is used how many file folders will be needed for the next year?
General Hospital has 6,000 admissions per year and is expanding to accommodate 200 more, making it 6,200 admissions per year. Given an expected 30% readmission rate, the number of unique patients would be 70% of 6,200, which is 4,340. However, since the question is asking for the total number of file folders needed to accommodate all admissions in the next year, we must consider each admission, including those of readmitted patients. The total number of admissions, including readmissions, is 6,200, which means 6,200 file folders are needed.
HOW TO SOLVE THIS?
6000 + 200= 6200 6200 X 30%=1860 6200-1860=4340
Admissions 6000 + more admissions per year 200= 6, 200; Total 6,200 X 30% readmission rate=1,860 Total Admission 6,200-1,860=4,340
