In September, the hospital had three coders who coded 1,500 inpatient records, and 22 of the records failed the quality screens.
a. What is the average number of records coded by each coder?
b. What was the average number of records coded each working day (Monday through Friday at 21 workdays) in September? Round to two decimal places.
c. What percentage of records passed the quality screens? Round to two decimal places.
A) 1500/3 500
B) 1500/21 71.43
C) (1500-22)/1500 99%
A and B are asking for numbers, not %
a) 1500/22
b)1500/21
c) (1500 - 22)/1500
can you finish from here?
I will check back to see your answers.
a.55.56%
b 71.43%
c .99%
a. So we have 3 coders who coded 1,500 inpatient records. To find the average number of records coded by each coder, we can divide the total number of records by the number of coders. Therefore, each coder coded 1,500 / 3 = 500 records.
b. To find the average number of records coded each working day in September, we need to divide the total number of records by the number of workdays. In this case, we have 21 workdays in September. So the average number of records coded each working day is 1,500 / 21 = 71.43 (rounded to two decimal places).
c. To calculate the percentage of records that passed the quality screens, we need to first find the number of records that passed. Since we are given that 22 records failed, the number of records that passed would be 1,500 - 22 = 1,478. Now we can calculate the percentage by dividing the number of records that passed by the total number of records and then multiplying by 100. Therefore, the percentage of records that passed is (1,478 / 1,500) * 100 = 98.53% (rounded to two decimal places).
To answer these questions, we need to perform some calculations based on the given information. Let's go step by step:
a. To find the average number of records coded by each coder, divide the total number of records (1,500) by the number of coders (3).
Average Number of Records = Total Number of Records / Number of Coders
Average Number of Records = 1500 / 3
Average Number of Records = 500
Therefore, the average number of records coded by each coder is 500.
b. To find the average number of records coded each working day in September, we need to consider the total number of working days (21) and divide it by the total number of records coded.
Average Number of Records per Day = Total Number of Records / Total Number of Working Days
Average Number of Records per Day = 1500 / 21
Average Number of Records per Day ≈ 71.43
Rounded to two decimal places, the average number of records coded each working day in September is approximately 71.43.
c. To calculate the percentage of records that passed the quality screens, subtract the number of records that failed the quality screens (22) from the total number of records (1,500) and divide it by the total number of records.
Percentage of Records Passed = ((Total Number of Records - Number of Failed Records) / Total Number of Records) * 100
Percentage of Records Passed = ((1500 - 22) / 1500) * 100
Percentage of Records Passed ≈ 98.53
Rounded to two decimal places, the percentage of records that passed the quality screens is approximately 98.53%.
Please note that these calculations are based on the given information, and any additional context might alter the results.
