Jiggly Urgent Care provides urgent medical services. On staff it has one doctor, one nurse, and one administrative assistant. Compensation is $232,320 per year for the doctor, $89,700 for the nurse, and $44,850 for the admin assistant. The doctor has 6 weeks of vacation and holidays per year, while the nurse and assistant have 4. They all spend about 2 weeks a year for various other things, like training, leave, and professional conferences. The doctor works 5 days a week for 10 hours a day, while the nurse and assistant work 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. The doctor spends about 1.2 hours per day on breaks and non-clinical meetings, while the non- physician personnel spend about 1.5 hours per day on breaks. It takes the assistant 10 minutes to process paperwork and check-in each patient. If the patient hasn't pre-processed online and needs to register on site, then it takes an additional 10 minutes. If the patient doesn't have insurance, it takes an additional 5 minutes of the assistant's time. The nurse spends 10 minutes logging symptoms and weighing and taking the blood pressure and temperature of each patient. It's an additional 5 minutes if they need a throat swab, an additional 10 minutes for a urine test, and an additional 15 minutes for a blood test. If a patient's throat swab comes back positive, then the doctor doesn't need to see the patient as the nurse can manage all the needs of the patient. For all other conditions, the doctor spends about 5 minutes with each patient. If a patient is there for a pre-existing condition, then it's an additional 5 minutes of the doctor's time. If another type of evaluation or test is needed, then it's an additional 10 minutes of the doctor's time. What equation best models the cost of providing service to clinic patients (excluding the cost of lab tests)? (Calculate and use "per minute" capacity cost rates) 2. What is the cost of a patient who didn't pre-register, didn't have insurance, and had a positive throat swab? 3.
