1.Your hospital has built a new freestanding facility that includes a 36- bed medical telemetry care unit. The patients and staff from the existing smaller units will be combined into the new unit. The current budget for each of these units is:

Unit A Unit B

Average Daily Census (ADC) 11.9 22.0

Acuity 1.6 1.85

Workload 3.8 3.6

Productivity - % 19.0 16.5

The budgets of the two units will be combined with no changes. Calculate the budget for the new unit including the ADC, acuity, workload, hours per patient day (HPPD), shifts/24 hours, productivity factor and variable direct care full time equivalents (FTEs). Please show all work.

**This is part of my homework. I did everything except for this part that I am stuck. The book does not show how this is done or calculated. Is it simply adding unit A and unit B? It doesn't seem like it.
