St. Luke Hospital began using standards to evaluate its Admissions Department. The standard was broken into two types of admissions as follows:

Standard Time to Complete Type of Admission Admission Record Unscheduled admission 40 min.

Scheduled admission 10 min.

The unscheduled admission took longer, since name, address, and insurance information needed to be determined at the time of admission. Information was collected on scheduled admissions prior to the admissions, which was less time consuming.
