all the patients who present to the emergency service department with a suspected acute myocardial infraction (AMI) are expected to receive an EKG within 10 minutes if their arrival. of the 56 patients who had a suspected AMI during the last quarter, 32 has an EKG within the specified time frame. what was the rate of compliance? round two the decimal places.
To calculate the rate of compliance, we need to divide the number of patients who had an EKG within the specified time frame (32) by the total number of patients with suspected AMI (56), and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Rate of Compliance = (Number of patients with EKG within specified time / Total number of patients with suspected AMI) * 100
Rate of Compliance = (32 / 56) * 100
Rate of Compliance = 57.14%
Therefore, the rate of compliance is 57.14%.
To calculate the rate of compliance, we need to divide the number of patients who received an EKG within the specified time frame by the total number of patients with suspected AMI.
In this case, we know that out of the 56 patients with suspected AMI, 32 received an EKG within 10 minutes of their arrival.
Rate of compliance = (Number of patients who received an EKG within 10 minutes) / (Total number of patients with suspected AMI)
Rate of compliance = 32 / 56
Now, let's calculate this value:
Rate of compliance = 0.5714
Rounding to two decimal places, the rate of compliance is approximately 0.57.
