Some 679 admissions were appropriate, some 260 were inappropriate, and some 193 were unnecessary.
Amount calculation
Given that a New England Journal of Medicine study found that a substantial portion of acute hospital care is reported to be unnecessary, and the physicians who conducted the study reviewed the medical records of 1,132 patients hospitalized at six different locations across the country, and overall, 60% of admissions in the sample were judged to be appropriate, 23% were deemed inappropriate, whereas 17% could have been avoided by the use of ambulatory surgery, to determine the number of patients in each group, the following calculation should be made:
- 1132 x 0.6 = A
- 679.2 = A
- 1132 x 0.23 = I
- 260.36 = I
- 1132 x 0.17 = U
- 192.44 = U
Thus, some 679 admissions were appropriate, some 260 were inappropriate, and some 193 were unnecessary.
