To calculate PPD, divide the Monthly Cost by the number of patient days

 

Monthly Cost = $16,356.00

Patient Days = 8550

 

PPD = 16356/8550 = $1.91

 

To calculate the hours per patient day, multiply the number of patient days by 24 hours and divide by the number of patients

 

8550(24) = 205,200/95 = 2160 hours per patient day. 

Where did they get the number 8550 for the patient days? what is the formula for it.
