A coding supervisor must determine the number of full-time equivalents ftes needed to code 500 discharges per week if it takes an average of 20 minutes to Cody's record and each colorworks 7.5 productive hours per day how many ftes will the coding supervisor need
I don't understand --
Cody's record
each colorworks
17
To determine the number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) needed, we need to calculate the total coding time required and then divide it by the available productive hours in a week.
Step 1: Calculate the total coding time required per week
The number of discharges to code per week is 500.
The average time taken to code one record is 20 minutes.
Total coding time required per week = Number of discharges * Average coding time
Total coding time required per week = 500 * 20 minutes
Step 2: Convert the coding time to hours
Since each hour contains 60 minutes, we need to convert the coding time to hours.
Total coding time required per week = 500 discharges * 20 minutes / (60 minutes per hour)
Total coding time required per week = 500 * 20 / 60 hours
Step 3: Calculate the number of FTEs needed
We need to divide the total coding time required per week by the available productive hours of one FTE per week.
Number of FTEs needed = Total coding time required per week / Productive hours per FTE per week
Given that each coder works 7.5 productive hours per day and there are 5 workdays in a week:
Productive hours per FTE per week = Productive hours per day * Number of workdays in a week
Productive hours per FTE per week = 7.5 hours/day * 5 days/week
Number of FTEs needed = (500 * 20 / 60) / (7.5 * 5)
Now, you can calculate the number of FTEs needed by plugging in the values into the equation.
