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? Round to one decimal point.
100(2/450) = _______%
100(2/450)=.4%
To calculate the filing accuracy rate, you need to divide the number of correctly filed records by the total number of records and then multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage.
First, subtract the number of misfiled records (2) from the total number of records (450) to get the number of correctly filed records:
Correctly filed records = Total records - Misfiled records
Correctly filed records = 450 - 2
Correctly filed records = 448
Next, divide the number of correctly filed records (448) by the total number of records (450) to get the filing accuracy rate:
Filing accuracy rate = (Correctly filed records / Total records) * 100
Filing accuracy rate = (448 / 450) * 100
Finally, round the filing accuracy rate to one decimal point:
Filing accuracy rate = 99.6 (rounded to one decimal point)
Therefore, the filing accuracy rate for the health information services at Community Health Center is 99.6%.
