2 Problem 16-49 (Algo) Partial Operational and Financial Productivity; Medical Practice [LO 16-2] Family Medical Care (FMC) is a family medical practice with 6 physicians, a nursing staff of 8 to 10 nurses, and an administrative staff that varies from 4 to 7 personnel. Rajat Patel, the chief physician at FMC, is interested in studying the efficiency of the practice as a basis to set some benchmarks for further improvement, for rewarding his staff, and for comparing the efficiency of the FMC practice to 30 other family medical practices. He is able to get comparable data for other practices from industry sources. So that the data are points consistent with the industry sources, Patel has asked Marin & Associates, his accounting firm, to develop a set of productivity measures that would satisfy this requirement. Upon investigation, Joseph Marin finds that the measures to be used are the partial financial and operational productivity measures as defined in the chapter. The following information is for the last 2 years for the FMC practice: Book Current Year Prior Year Patient visits 35,000 30,400 Nursing hours used 22, 300 21, 400 References Administrative hours used 15, 425 15, 425 Cost of nursing support per hour $ 59.00 $ 58.00 Cost of administration per hour $ 44.60 $ 44.00 Industry average financial productivity Nursing 0. 025 0. 024 Administrative 1.320 1.340 Required: 1. Compute the partial financial productivity ratios for nursing and administrative support for the current and prior years. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) 2. Separate the change in the partial financial productivity ratio from the prior year to the current year into productivity changes, input price changes, and output changes. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) Nursing Administrative 1 .
