If there are graphs or graphics involved be sure to provide me please

You are on the Chargemaster committee at Pike’s Peak Clinic. An annual review of services and charges is being conducted for necessary revisions. Table 3-10 shows some statistics reported on the physicians’ services at Pike’s Peak Clinic last Tuesday.

Table 3-10 Physician Pike’s Peak Clinic Physician Services Statistics for Tuesday

Pike’s Peak Clinic Physician Service Statistics for Tuesday

Physicians Service A Service B Service C

Truba 10 18 14

Wooley 14 22 9

Howe 18 5 6

Masters 12 20 7

1. It takes twice as long to perform Service C, so the physicians are proposing that Service C should count as 2 services for the purpose of calculating workload.

2. If Service C counts twice as much as Service A or Service B, which physician provided the most services on Tuesday?

Explanation / Answer

Let A, B and C denote no of services for service A, B and C respectively. So lets us find total no of services for all the 4 physicians:

Truba=A+B+2C=10+18+2*14=56

Wooley=A+B+2C=14+22+2*9=54

Howe=A+B+2C=18+5+2*6=35

Masters=A+B+2C=12+20+2*7=46

So Truba provided maximum services on tuesday.
