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

Standard Time to

Type of Complete

Admission

Admission Record

Unscheduled

$30$min.

Scheduled

$20$min.

The unscheduled admission took longer because name, address, and insurance information needed to be determined and ver at the time of admission. Information was collected on scheduled admissions prior to admitting the patient, thus requiring les in admissions.

The Admissions Department employs three full$-$time people for $40$ hours per week at $$21$ per hour. For the most recent week department handled $136$ unscheduled and $174$ scheduled admissions.
