He heard that another hospital similar to yours has "made bundles" by developing a state-of-the art pediatric infectious disease service. Your board member is interested in knowing whether this is an option for your hospital and what would be involved in exploring it. You are curious but don't want to spend too much of your time on this. You decide to prepare a sort of preliminary opinion in an email to him. First of all, you need to make sure he understands the role of a hospital in both the natural history of disease and in preventive efforts. Then, you will include the kinds of things you feel should be thought about and investigated before even suggesting this to the full board or investing much time or money in more extensive examination or a market study

X/y = 893/175=5.1 : 1 or 5.1/1

It means 5females EMS patients for each male EMS patients reported to centers for disease control and preventive..

Proportions in EMS cases in male by calculating x (male)and y all cases..175/1068=0.16/1 proportions usually in percentage 0.16x100=16(16%)
