Question
Durham Health Clinic is considering signing a contract to perform 50 pre-employment physicals per week for a specific corporation. In terms of staff time, a pre-employment physical requires 0.20 hours in Reception/Discharge, 0.45 hours in Nursing and Testing, and 0.20 hours in Medical Examination. By work-station, determine how many work hours per week will be needed to perform these physicals. Currently the clinic does 250 visits per week, with 50% of all visits as return visits. Each employee (physician, nurse, and receptionist) is scheduled to work 35 hours per week. a. How many employees by type does the clinic currently need? b. How many employees by type will the clinic need if it signs the contract for pre-employment physicals? c. If return visits shift to 10% of all regular visits, how many employees by type will the clinic need with and without the contract for pre-employment physicals? d. How will the answers to "b" and "c" change if the number of physicals is modified to 35 pre-employment physicals per week? Throughout these analyses, specify all assumptions, including assumptions concerning worker productivity. How would your answers change for problem 8-1 if nursing and testing time was increased to 0.50 hours for both first and repeat visits, and medical exam and treatment time was reduced to 0.30 hours for a first visit and 0.20 hours for a return visit?Explanation / Answer
8.3
total employment physical - 50
Reception/Discharge time - 0.20 hours per physical, so total = 50 x 0.20 = 10 hours
Nursing & Testing time - 0.45 hours per physical, so total = 50 x 0.45 = 22.5 hours
Medical Examination time - 0.20 hours per physical, so total = 50 x 0.20 = 10 hours
Total hours in staff = 10+22.5+10 = 42.5 hours
8.4
a. Can't be answered as hours per visit is not mentioned
b. employees for pre employment physicals = 42.5 hours/35 hours = ~1.2 employee
(1 full time employee and 1/5th time of other employee)
c. Can not be answered for hours per visit and hours per return visit not mentinoed
d. total hours required for physical examination will change:
for 50 it takes 42.5 hours
for 35 it will take 42.5/50*35 = 29.75 hours
for 29.75 hours of work, you need 85% of the time of a single employee
