Problem: Johnsonville Hospital has a Medical Intensive Care Unit and a Surgical/Trauma Intensive Care Unit. The Director of HIM has been reporting inpatient service days for each unit separately since the day she started work there. A new Nursing Director has just recently started and wants just one report that reflects total inpatient service days for the two units combined "since they're all intensive care patients". Which one is the correct way - two separate counts or combine the counts? Explain your rationale. Discuss/argue your point with at least one classmate. Remember to consider the reasons inpatient service days are tracked, the types of patients that would be admitted to the different ICUs, etc. Need Assignment Help?
