Re: Healthcare stastics problem help

I do not get any of the choices either. I am confused as to why December 31st is listed twice though. Are you certain the problem has been reproduced accurately here?

Thanks for the help and taking a look. Yes, this is the exact problem. I'm not sure why the 31st is listed twice either but I will be sending an email to the teacher asking her about this problem. I think she has given the wrong choices to pick from. I'll let you know what she says once I receive her answer. Again thanks a million. I love this site and all the help I am receiving!

Using the first two rows of statistics (the others would result in double counting) gives 91.88%

The correct answer is B. 92.15%.

To calculate the total occupancy rate, we need to first calculate the total number of inpatient service days for the entire year. This can be done by adding the inpatient service days for each period:

26510 + 33910 + 185 + 11500 = 72005

Next, we need to calculate the total number of available beds for the entire year. This can be done by adding the bed count for each period:

160 + 200 + 200 + 40 = 600

Finally, we can calculate the occupancy rate by dividing the total number of inpatient service days by the total number of available beds and multiplying by 100:

(72005 / 600) * 100 = 92.15%

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 92.15%.
