After one month of operation, the health information services at Community Health Center determined that there were two records misfiled out of the 450 active records. What is the filing accuracy rate for this area?
To determine the filing accuracy rate, you need to divide the number of accurately filed records by the total number of records and then multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
In this case, the number of accurately filed records is calculated by subtracting the misfiled records (2) from the total number of records (450): 450 - 2 = 448.
Next, divide the accurately filed records (448) by the total number of records (450): 448 / 450 = 0.9956.
Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 0.9956 * 100 = 99.56%.
Therefore, the filing accuracy rate for this area is approximately 99.56%.
