Question: How long will a shift be?

Explanation / Answer

It is given that it take 3.5 minutes per chart to convert from alphabetic to the terminal digit. We have 4474 records. Now the total number of minutes required to convert the medical records from alphabetical to terminal digits would be = 4474*3.5 = 15659 minutes.

There are 15 office staff members. Thus, the average time taken by per staff member would be:

= 15659/15 = 1043.9333 = (Appx.) = 1044.

The practice manager has given instructions that the work can begin on Friday afternoon as the last patient leaves, which is typically 2:00 pm. The project must be completed by 8:00 pm Sunday night.

The total number of hours from Friday 2:00 pm to Sunday 8:00 pm are 54 hours.

Thus, the total number minutes available for each staff member would be: 3240 minutes.

Now, we have found that the available time for each staff member is 3240 minutes. The average time taken by the staff member is 1044 minutes.

Now, if we talk in terms of hours, we can say, the available duration is 54 hours and time taken by every staff member is 17.39 hours.

Thus, the shift would be 17.39 hours long.
