- Mercy Hospital staffs its medical/surgical floors with nurses depending on the number of pa- tients assigned to the floor and the severity of their condition. The index used to capture nurse effort is termed a relative value unit, or RVU. For example, taking vital signs for a single patient may be equal to one RVU. RVU's are then summed to estimate the total RVU requirements for the floor. From this, the nursing staff budget is determined. The medical/surgical floor is scheduled to have 25 patients for each day of the coming seven-day week. Some patients will require more nursing effort than others, depending on the severity of their conditions or their ages. The following table summarizes the expected RVU requirements for the patients: Number of Patients RVUS per Day 5 20 8 25 10 30 40 A nurse earns $180 per day and is able to perform 40 RVUS per day. a.

The U.S. government currently spend $475, 909, 674, 990.00 a year on the Medicaid program. Suppose there are 82 Million households that receive Medicaid. Providing low income Americans with free health insurance is intended to improve their economic well-being. We can understand this better by showing improvements in a typical low-income family's budget possibilities. Please illustrate with a well-labeled budget constraint graph how the consumption possibilities of health insurance (HI) and all else (Y) expand for a family when Medicaid is introduced, through parts a) - d) below. As we have done in class, Assume that P(Y) = $1; P(HI) = $1 and family income is $20,000 a year. a) Based on the information above, what is the average government Medicaid spending per household?[1 pt] Hint--you are given the total national spending and the total number of households, so you have the information to calculate this. You will use this number in the rest of question 1 below as well. b) Using…arrow_forwardTo compute a daily rate that reflected the difference in demands, patients were placed in three categories according to illness severity, and the following annual data were collected: Cost of Activity Activity Driver $ 546,780 2,132,200 441,630 4,185,700 $7,306,310 Activity Lodging Monitoring Feeding Nursing care Total The demands associated with patient severity are also provided: Severity Patient Days Monitoring Hours Nursing Hours High Medium Low 7,170 10,180 3,680 $ Patient days Monitoring hours used Patient days Nursing hours High severity Medium severity Low severity 15,170 12,030 3,260 133,100 72,900 14,300 Required: 1.
