East Mercy Medical Center Analysis The East Mercy Medical Center recently hired a new assistant administrator, given the name Dorothy Jacobs. One of her first tasks is to evaluate ways to improve the costs of their hospital management related to the patient capacity in three main hospital wards: Obstetrics, Surgery and Pediatrics. The hospital board is considering expanding their offerings of the same wards, and has allocated a total of $400,000 as budget for this project. The administrator must determine how many additional beds can best satisfy the supply and demand for all the units, considering …show more content…
We begin with Obstetrics:
P (X1 ≤ 30 + B1) ≥ 0.95
24 + 1.65*6.1 ≤ 30 + K1
K1≥ 4.065
We recommend purchasing at least 4.3 beds; since we cannot have a 0.065 bed, we conclude 5 beds are required at a cost of 22,000*5=110,000. A graph of the probability follows, on Graph I.

We continue on to analyze the Surgery ward:
P (X2 ≤ 20 + B2) ≥ 0.95
13 + 1.65*4.3 ≤ 20 + K2
K2 ≥ 0.095
We recommend purchasing at least 0.95 beds; since we cannot have a 0.95 bed, we conclude 1 bed is required at a cost of 26,000*1=26,000. A graph of the probability follows, on Graph II.

We finish by analyzing the Pediatrics ward:
P (X3 ≤ 30 + B3) ≥ 0.95
19 + 1.65*4.7 ≤ 24 + K3
K3≥ 2.755
We recommend purchasing at least 2.75 beds; since we cannot have a 0.75 bed, we conclude 3 beds are necessary, at a cost of 15,500*3=46,500. A graph of the probability follows, on Graph
